75098 Assault on Hoth

After yet another visual "leak" before the date set for the announcement, LEGO (finally) officially unveils the highly anticipated set 75098 Assault on Hoth.

In this big stamped box Ultimate Collector Series, 2144 pieces, a tauntaun, a Wampa, 14 minifigs and an Astromech Droid, with on arrival probably a big impression of déjà vu for all those who collect the LEGO Star Wars sets and who already have the references 7666 Hoth Rebel Base (2o07), 7749 Echo Base (2009), 8089 Hoth Wampa Cave (2010), 7879 Hoth Echo Base (2011) 75014 Battle of Hoth (2013) et 75138 Hot Attack (2016).

As far as I'm concerned, I find it hard to pin down the side Ultimate Collector Series of this set, which looks more like a best-of of anything LEGO has released on this theme so far. By removing the pretty snowy decor from the box, we end up with a set of elements that everyone can arrange according to their inspiration (Probably the "modular" side announced by LEGO ...) but which struggle to form a "collector" representation. of the Battle of Hoth ...

Concerning the mention "Assault"in the name of the set, I'll let you judge the relevance of the thing: The attack is led by two Snowtroopers ...
