LEGO - New Set for Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back

Surfing the wave of Star Wars Episode 7 - The Force Awakens, the LEGO Company is announcing a totally new playset which will bring us back to the first trilogy of the Star Wars universe, to Episode 5 more precisely specifically. The boxes will target a precise moment of the Empire Strike Back movie with its upcoming “Attack on Hoth” playset.

The new set arrival on the market is announced for April 2016 by the Company. The set will be comprised of 2,144-pieces with a price tag of $250. It will allow to recreate scenes from The Empire Strikes Back's attack on Hoth.

Some of the features includes "a base with modular wall and trench sections, an ion cannon with spring-loaded shooters that fire LEGO studs, a snowspeeder, a speederbike, a wampa cave, an exploding generator and 14 minifigures."



Luke and Han (with tauntaun), Toryn Farr, a Rebel Officer, pilots Wes Janson and Wedge Antilles, the droids K-3PO and R3-A2, five Rebel troopers and two Imperial Snowtroopers are part of the minifigures.

The geek universe is getting richer once again with a new playset thanks to LEGO.
