This year, Lego will release 25 new "Star Wars" sets. I checked out a large collection of them recently at New York Toy Fair. Not only will the new sets reimagine scenes from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," but a few of the sets will also bring a few iconic scenes from the original "Star Wars" trilogy to life.

One of the coolest — and most expensive — sets that will be released May 1 will be a giant re-creation of the snowy Hoth Echo Base from "Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back." Lego shared a bunch of images from the upcoming "Assault on Hoth" set with Tech Insider. Keep reading to see what comes inside it.

The set also comes with a wampa and lets fans recreate Luke Skywalker's iconic run-in with the snow beast.

And, yes, in case you're wondering, the wampa's arm does detach.

And here's Han Solo in snow gear getting ready to ride a tauntaun in search of Luke.

This isn't Lego's most expensive "Star Wars" set. Previously, it released the Jawa Sandcrawler vehicle from "Star Wars: Episode IV" in a 3,296-piece $300 set.
