Dicen algunos que es uno de los mayores y mejores sets de LEGO jamás lanzados.

Tal vez sea una afirmación un tanto presuntuosa, pero si que es el set más deseado del momento por una legión de coleccionistas, y su gran tamaño es totalmente indiscutible.

Llegará en poco más de dos meses a la tienda oficial, y algunso se aventuran a llamarlo "el primer UCS más allá de la saga StarWars", pues conjuga una gran jugabilidad con un tamaño imponente, sólo superado en altura por la Torre Eiffel de 2007.

Te dejamos con la ficha que ha liberado hoy LEGO junto con la noticia, además del video y la foto de la caja para que vayas preparándose para cuando llegue a tus manos. Será en julio, y antes tendrás que desembolsar nada menos que 200€ por sus 2.359 piezas. Por su aspecto, y por la relación precio por pieza, no dudamos en qué vale la pena pagar lo que vale.
