I don't agree. There are some great designs in the PT imo. I thought about skipping PT sets when I came out of the Dark Ages and started collecting SW stuff, but I caved anyway because some stuff is so cool. Especially the Walkers are great, but also the Naboo Starfighter (I want this one, but it is way overpriced here), the Arc-fighter (they need a new version of this), the Republican destroyers (can't remember the official name), ...
I honestly found TFA a bit lacking in ship designs. Kylo's shuttle is very cool, but the snow speeder and troop transports aren't very good looking imo. I had hoped on some Y- and A-wing variations, and a Walker, but nope (yeah, there is a walker in the background somewhere). I really hope VIII and IX do better, and put my hopes on Rogue One for some cool classic ships in maybe a little different design.
I am curious about the Hoth UCS btw. I'm not going for too expensive sets anymore (going somewhat back to the dark ages, with less purchases and a focus on cheaper stuff because we bought an appartment), but if it is really good I might cave as it was the 2014 AT-AT that convinced me of starting with Star Wars sets. (And I have a little Hoth diorama at the moment)
Everywhere here is completely sold out, even click and collect and online - my own fault, I left it too late.
