The set has been officially cancelled and LEGO has released a statement about it.

We decided not to release this product as it didn’t meet our strict quality standards. Because we work so hard to provide the best possible play experiences, we never compromise the quality of our products.

The image above is render of the set from Hoth Bricks but you can find the leaked images of the set online.
