Hoth Rescue Set

[monkey_roo]

Ok, so I'm just interested here, basically having achieved my initial collecting goal I am looking around at odd pieces that really stand out to me and one that I have always liked is the Hoth resue set, the box art is great and it comes with my two favourite creatures and two of the best figs ever (for me).

So my question is, or questions: how rare is this set and what sort of price would I be looking at if I really wanted to grab one of these?

Matt,

I'd say between £130-£250 for a MIB one or £350 upwards for a MISB one!

I think I sold my MIB one the other year for £130 but prices seem to have gone a bit crazy lately! :?

Hope this helps,

Mark

Thanks Mark
Yeah that helps set an expectation. I have been looking around and these seem quite hard to find. Going to have to keep my eyes open

I think Han and Luke Hoth in this set came in baggies and not folded tri logos like some of the other Potf tri logo sets.

Most of the Trilogo Playpacks can be a bitch to find complete and in nice shape and sellers/dealers know this. I wouldn't expect to see one in C8+ with sealed contents for under £200 for sale on ebay/forums but you never know..

You can get them for considerably less if you don't mind the contents being open of course..

Good luck!

Thanks Joe

I have no issue with open bags or even the box showing its age a touch just that that figures/creatures are in good condition, hell I could even piece it together if I could find a box.

The only one I found on Evilbay however, is way over priced - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultra-Rare-Vintage-Star-Wars-Tri-Logo-POTF-Hoth-Rescue-Set-/321211298236?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item4ac9af71bc

But I will keep my eyes open and see what come up.

Been looking for this myself, only 2 have come up in the last 8 months or so (that overpriced one on the bay and one on RS that I missed). The 3 play packs are fetching silly money. Wish I hadn't sold mine for £50 back in 2004.

I love these playbacks, but have sadly never found one to my satisfaction with a price I was willing to pay. Good luck!

I remember seeing them in Toymasters around early 1986!
