LEGO Star Wars Tauntaun, Echo Base Coming Aug. 1
Last week found us speculating about the release of another sort of tauntaun from The Empire Strikes Back, but with its upcoming LEGO Star Wars Echo Base playset, LEGO’s going to be first to market with the toy snow creature this year. Though it’s technically a bit player in the 155-piece set, the first-ever LEGO tauntaun is still kind of a big deal for LEGO nerds, and we like that the included Han Solo minifigure can also stow his blaster on its saddle.
The playset also includes two Imperial snowtroopers for Han Solo to battle, as well as two Rebel troopers to back their captain — and with the accompanying laser cannons, turret and flick-fire missiles, you can keep both sides under heavy fire until you’ve saved up enough for a LEGO AT-AT.
The LEGO Star Wars Echo Base is due in stores Aug. 1, but you can preorder the toy now for $27.99 from Amazon.
