Star Wars: Huts and "Attack of the Dremel"

Out roaming this morning with the wife and checked out a Five Below store (they should be called 20 Below these days it seems) and found the kids game above - the igloos spoke to me as useful for my 15 mm Star Wars - so I bought two.
Here are all eight huts with a 15 mm figure, unpainted.  The two blue things are referred to in the game as "snow crabs".
Here is close up of one hut with the figure, Rebel Minis tech pilot.
No idea what to do with these except given them to some kid that likes them.  If someone has a 'great idea', let me know.
Here is Yoda's head decapitated from the toy ship.
And here is part of the Dremel attack.  The hole above is part of the kit.  The hole below will be a door - which is a very minor hint of what might happen to the head.
Here is the ship after more Dremel attacking, it will be part of the ancient debris field of crashed space ships.
And the last attack of the Dremel was modifying one of the huts just to make it look different - might be off by itself and home to some hermit or other.

And those snow crabs?  With a good wash, a prime cover, and a repaint - and maybe some work on those forward claws - and these will turn into robots.  I believe there is something like this - a robot - in at least one of the Star Wars movies.

Oh, the game was only $2.50 US at the local store so a pretty cheap find, the ten useful pieces, not including sales tax, were only fifty cents each.
