So, I’m sure that pretty much everybody already knows this, but the new LEGO Star Wars UCS Assault On Hoth 75098 set was revealed earlier today. Of course, many have already seen this on other sites, due to our inability to post pictures during our “error 503” phase  — however, now that the site is back up again I thought I might as well post images anyhow!

So, here’s the full description, along with a ton of images:
