Before the release of Rogue One, I went into total information blackout regarding the movie. I was specifically trying to avoid information and spoilers outside of the trailers that I’d seen, so it was a bit awkward when LEGO sent us 75152 Imperial Assault Hovertank for review and I had to look up some information on it.
I didn’t really mean to delay this review until after the release of Rogue One, life is just a jerk and my time in November (when they sent the set) was eaten up a black hole of work stuff, a funeral, and just family stuff in general. I actually got the pictures taken for this a few weeks ago, but then we got the LEGO Batman stuff and sparkly gold Batman wins out over land transport tank.
This is an interesting set, a $29.99 wonder with three minifigures and a whopping 385 parts… unheard of compared to a lot of the other licensed sets. Since I’m writing this after the release of Rogue One, this is your obligatory spoiler warning. I won’t go deeply into the movie, but will talk about how this vehicle fits into the movie (and it is featured in one specific spot), as well as how the characters mix into it. So, if you haven’t seen it… stop now and get to the theater.
