I think the Hoth playset Luke is referring to is probably this one: https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/play-set-ice-planet-hoth-star-wars-the-empire-strikes-back-kenner-products-co/sQHfg7oopTBfaA There are couple of other Hoth playsets but I believe that they had better scale (i.e. the snowspeeder was full size and you could put one of the figures inside). My best friend and I had a number of the micro machines/action fleet star wars sets - a death star interior, a darth vader head that opened up to be the carbonite freezing scene, and an R2D2 that opened up to be the jabba's palace/rancor scene. I think there were a couple of waves of the micro machines sets, before the special editions came out and then a different set that came out in tandem with them, the latter of which was generally better quality with things being more to scale etc.

This could be it! It was certainly very similar, but I'm not sure this is exactly the one. Whatever it was, I think it had other manifestations too — believe I also owned an Endor one...-L
