75098 hoth contest april 2016

To accompany the launch of the already controversial UCS set 75098 Assault on Hoth, LEGO has been generous. Many sites, including Hoth Bricks, were offered a copy of the set, just to give maximum visibility to this box.

Le bashing around this box has only just begun and negative reviews (but not too much anyway) will rain: Too expensive (249.99 € in the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Stores), not really a UCS, compilation of elements already seen and reviewed in the LEGO Star Wars range, very approximate reproduction of the base of the film (The lookout post imported from Yavin, three generators instead of four , etc ...), imbalance of the forces present, not enough AT-AT, another Snowspeeder, no Reikan / Leia, we already know each other's arguments and the final opinion will always be composed of 'a for / against which will allow to delay and kick in touch. After all, it's LEGO that treats everyone and those who will give their opinion in the days to come have not paid a penny: Their "final notice"will necessarily be affected.

Do not let yourself be too influenced by the usual "It was better before", this is not always true especially in the LEGO Star Wars range, and remember that we all have our share of responsibility in the evolution of the content of certain boxes: In many ranges, fans swear by by minifigs, the rest often being seen as props. LEGO takes that into account and throws a Tauntaun, a Wampa and a few rebels in a box with a few walls / trenches around it. And that's the result.

Make no mistake, the best thing that could happen to this box is not to sell as well as LEGO expected. The followers of the speculation will then rub their hands by stocking a few copies that they will come out of the closet in a few years.

The set will have become "vintage" and / or "collector" and it will probably be necessary to pay double the current price to acquire it. You will see that one day this box will tear up on the secondary market, the worst sets in the LEGO Star Wars range are still selling very well on eBay or Bricklink ...

Rather than showering yourself with unnecessary considerations about this set, I will let you make your own opinion by discussing with your conscience and your wallet and I suggest that you try to win a copy.

If you were going to give it to yourself discreetly despite the public outcry, you would save 249.99 €, if you had decided to skip for one reason or another it would be a good opportunity to add it to your collection without having to loose money.

The competition is open exclusively to persons residing in the following countries and territories: Metropolitan France, French overseas departments and territories, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Belgium.

One entry per participant, you have until April 30 at 23:59 p.m. to register.
