Lego set 75098, "Assault on Hoth," is not considered rare in the secondary market. It was a standard retail release from the 2016 Star Wars line, meaning it was widely available in stores and online at launch. Because of its high initial production volume, it is generally easy to find in new or used condition, and its value has remained relatively stable rather than appreciating significantly like limited-edition or discontinued niche sets.
The Assault on Hoth originally retailed for $249.99. Live secondary-market data isn't indexed yet — check eBay sold listings for current value.
To authenticate your 2016 Lego Star Wars set 75098, first verify that the box and pieces bear the official Lego logo and the correct set number 75098. Check for the holographic Lego sticker on the box, which is a standard anti-counterfeit feature for that era. Additionally, inspect the quality of the plastic; genuine Lego pieces have a distinct, consistent texture and color saturation that is difficult for counterfeiters to replicate perfectly. If the set appears to have been opened, compare the piece count and specific part shapes against the official build instructions to ensure no parts are missing or replaced.
The Assault on Hoth was released in 2016 by Lego.
Lego discontinued the 75098 Assault on Hoth set in 2017, so it is no longer in print. Consequently, the set is not available for purchase new from Lego's official channels, and buyers must typically seek out sealed boxes from third-party retailers or the secondary market.
To condition-check the LEGO Star Wars: Assault on Hoth (75098), first inspect the box for structural integrity, checking for crushed corners, creases, or label wear. Open the set and verify that all 1,065 pieces are present, paying close attention to the 12 minifigures and the large AT-AT model. Examine the plastic for yellowing, which is common in older LEGO sets, and check for missing or cracked pieces, particularly on the large vehicles and the Hoth diorama baseplate. For a formal grade, you would typically use a third-party service like PSA or CGC, but for a personal check, a systematic piece count and visual inspection of the box and minifigures is the standard approach.
