ONCE IN A LIFE TIME OPPORTUNITY!
Well believe it or not I was able to buy this set for $50.00 bucks for a brand new sealed cloud city! Looking at all the prices on Ebay and Amazon I was not going to pass up on this deal. Well I was shocked this set is great even though most of the reviews are so negative. First of all the building is simple but its construction is solid. Just like Jabba's Palace you can seperate the play scenes for playbility or even to build and make it bigger. I like how you have five scenes from the movie to recreate. The landing pad is great you can put the millinum falcon or the Slave I ship. But the best part of this set has to be the mini figs that are exclusive to this set. This set is great and from what I can see on the web this is the ULTIMATE COLLECTIOR SET of all lego sets! If you have a chance to get one jump on it!
PROS:
Mini Figs
- Boba Fett with Printed Legs and Arms
- Lando in his Cloud City Outfit
- Cloud City Princess Leia
- Luke Skywalker
- Darth Vader
- Storm Trooper
Great Color Schemes
Solid Construction
Five Playable Scenes
CONS:
You need ample room for display with Landing Scene!
Price to buy this set is crazy on EBAY and AMAZON!18 out of 22 people thought this review was helpful.

Storage is a pain
That bush-thing next to the door annoyingly falls down all the time.
Overall:
Buy it cheap or at regular price- it's worth it all the same!

Great set as a starter for building a greater set
This is, in spite of all the down sides mentioned in other reviews, a great set:
- Lots of minifigures
- 3 scenes with much detail, and well designed colour schemes
- Every scene has its own playability:
- Entrance with sliding door giving access to landing platform
- Carbonite room with inventive mechanism to change Han Solo into carbonite Han. This works manually and doesn’t work very smooth, but is OK.
- Dining room with some nice details.
- Duelling room with nice mechanisms for a falling wall and for the window breaking and taking Luke out of the room.
- Landing platform
The down sides mentioned in other reviews can easily be answered:
- Cramped, no separate rooms, no walls: the open structure makes for a great playability.
- Bad working mechanisms: hey, I think they’re quite inventive.
- Too few minifigures: OK, there could have been more stormtroopers.
Advice:
- use this set as a starter for building a bigger set on a great grey base plate.
- Make a greater landing platform with the four quarter round plates. Add your other sets like MF, Slave and twin-pod.
- Ad some extra rooms as the prison area, the dining room where they meet Darth, or the droid room.
- Have fun building and playing!11 out of 11 people thought this review was helpful.

How could this set not be good?
Probably one of my favorite star wars sets. Includes an enhanced Boba, LANDO CALRISSIAN, Luke, Leia, Darth Vader, Han, and a storm trooper! seven minifigs and people think the set's bad? Not only is it compatible with the second millenium falcon, but it's three scenes combined into one! the middle room has an opening door unique from others, the carbonite chamber carbonites Han (jams sometimes, but can be fixed!) and the battle scene has a falling wall and a window that sends Luke flying! captures the movie very well! Set isn't avaliable any more, but thats why there's ebay!
