Voici donc l’annonce officielle du set LEGO Star Wars 75098 Assault on Hoth (Ultimate Collector Series). La disponibilité est annoncée au 30 avril 2016, pour le lancement de l’opération Star Wars May the 4th, sans disponibilité en avant-première pour les clients LEGO VIP.

Le prix public annoncé pour l’Allemagne est de 249,99€. Je suis curieux de découvrir le prix français ! Même prix en France !

***Mise à jour : ma review complète de ce set est disponible ici !

Comme on peut le voir sur ces visuels, cet UCS LEGO Star Wars 75098 est en réalité davantage un super-pack puisqu’on peut y retrouver, à quelques éléments près, un best-of des sets Hoth sortis ces dernières années… Cela peut par contre se révéler très intéressant pour ceux qui seraient passés à côté ! Et ceux qui voudraient y rajouter encore des tourelles pourront l’associer au set LEGO Star Wars 75138 Hoth Attack actuellement en vente.

Au menu : 2144 pièces avec 13 minifigs (dont seulement 2 Snowtroopers, je suis assez serein quant à l’issue de l’assaut…) et 2 droides, un Wampa, un Tauntaun, un Snowspeeder, des canons / tourelles / radars à organiser comme on veut, un speederbike et une grande porte de hangar avec quelques éléments de jouabilité derrière.
