Buchimuer Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 This 75098 is a UCS? Looks those pieces are way too separated as a set IMO... Quote
fossilrock Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Everyone always says it sucks when the box art comes out. But what you guys don't seem to get is that when you get a blizzard, you're supposed to take this set outside and build a fort with it. It's in the video! And it's not too far off from the real thing: Edited February 13, 2016 by fossilrock 1 Quote
justapilgrim Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Looks great for parting out and selling individual sections and then minifigures. People will need to expand their bases Quote
smsklpl Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 The white color tone is superb. Not very many sets are in white with snow theme. Quote

New Death Star comes after a few months out. And the AT-AT looks good in front of the new Hoth Echo Base... resellers are not the only one who know this... "old rules" can lie in current times with x SW movies every year.... Quote

Yes, but what cannot lie is TLG production capacity and design process Quote
Deanfjr Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Not sure how I feel about this... if I have to wonder i am sure it's not too good Edited February 13, 2016 by Deanfjr Quote
Alpinemaps Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 If you want to chat/comment about 75098 Assault on Hoth by itself, please visit the thread so we can keep the conversation in one place. If you want to talk about 75098's affect on the AT-AT, then you can keep doing so here. Not moving any posts, just want to keep the distinction between the two threads before it goes off the rails. Thanks. 3 Quote
RTRC Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 There's already a crowded field of UCS coming out this year. A new AT-AT seems unlikely as that's an OT model and the main focus on the play sets this year seems to be on the new movies. If there was an AT-AT ready on May 1st we'd have heard of it by now. If the price is right a month or two after the release of the Hoth play set, I'm selling. 1 Quote
pete411 Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 This might be some good news for folks holding 75054. Some details are emerging from early footage of Rogue One. These might stick out like sore thumbs in the snow. Spoiler Quoted from IGN - "...an image showed two AT-ATs that had a slightly different look with the door panel on the side of the body painted a lighter beige color." Quote
Fenix_2k1 Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 http://brickset.com/article/20184 Looking at the first wave of rogue one sets with their piece counts I'd say that 75054 investors can breathe a sigh of relief, because unless they've dramatically reduced the piece count there's not going to be an At-At released in September. If in fact they do star in the film, demand may even go up despite the color difference. 1 Quote
Val-E Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) 75158 is still unconfirmed so let´s not dance too soon and 75159 will pobbly be the flagship Death Star. One of the 2 larger sets is likely to be an X Wing iteration and there would have to be some type of Tie Fighter style villain craft too. Edited March 25, 2016 by Val-E Quote

I don't think an x-wing will be in the initial Rogue One wave of 5 lego sets. I'm starting to think those two sets are Tantive IV (the $149.99 USD set) and an AT-AT is the next rung down. Although, there was a rumor over at eurobricks, granted it was unconfirmed, and seemed very speculative that the $119.99 USD set is a large scale playlet of some sort. There's also an AT-ST rumored. The more those make sense, hence why the AT-ST and AT-AT from last year seemed to retire a bit earlier than one would expect. Slave 1 has also been tossed around. Quote

Retailer Exclusives often show up as the last number or two in the series. Quote
Val-E Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Brickset allude to an OT style X wing and Tie and you would expect them to be in the movie. Part count and prices match. Perhaps it will mean a cull for TFA sets as having 4 x wings on the go seems too much. Quote
jeff_14 Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Just raised my price by $75 CDN to $350 after seeing the Rogue One trailer. Sold one last week at the old price so this will sell fairly soon I expect. Quote
smsklpl Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Rouge One may fit the OT's fans appetite. And they are AFOL who have a higher potential to pay more than the young starwars fans. my $0.02 Edited April 7, 2016 by smsklpl 1 Quote
