LEGO Star Wars 7749 Echo Base depicts a scene from Echo Base in the Hoth setting. Released in 2009, this Star Wars set contains 155 pieces and 3 minifigures, focusing on a compact encounter between Rebel and Imperial characters.

Set 7749 Echo Base belongs to the Star Wars theme and represents the Hoth side of the license. Rather than presenting a large vehicle, it focuses on a small section of the Rebel base, making it a scene based set within the wider Star Wars range.

The set includes 155 pieces and 3 minifigures. The listed figures are Snowtrooper, Light Bluish Gray Hips, Plain Black Head, White Hands, Rebel Trooper in Hoth Uniform, White Hat, Tan Jacket (46304 Goggles), and Han Solo, Hoth Outfit, Dark Blue Hood, Black Eyes. The build is centered on setting elements and minifigure interaction, with the model serving as a compact backdrop for the characters.

Echo Base is suited to a small Hoth display, play involving opposing Rebel and Imperial figures, or collection building around Star Wars cold weather outfits. In a theme based collection, it sits naturally alongside other Hoth related sets while remaining easy to identify through set number 7749 and the Echo Base subject.
