Description

The city in the clouds

Cloud City is a mining colony suspended high above the gas giant Bespin, run by Lando Calrissian. When Han, Leia, Chewbacca and C-3PO seek shelter there, they walk straight into a trap laid by Darth Vader. The final act of the film unfolds in its corridors and chambers, ending with Han frozen in carbonite and Luke learning the truth about his father. A set based on such a location naturally leans towards scenes rather than a single vehicle.

Seven minifigures in 707 pieces

The cast is one of the set's strongest points. Seven minifigures is a generous number for a model of this size, and it means you can populate the city with both heroes and villains rather than leaving it empty. For collectors, sets like this are valuable because they bring several characters from one film together in a single box. For play, the figures turn the model into a stage where the events of the story can be acted out one after another.

An older generation of greys

The main colours are dark grey, light grey, black and tan. Those grey names matter: they are the older shades that were used before the switch to bluish greys, which dates the set clearly to its 2003 release. Anyone restoring or completing a vintage copy should keep that in mind, because new bluish grey parts look noticeably different beside the originals. The tan adds a touch of warmth to otherwise cool, industrial architecture.

Build size and the parts list

With 707 pieces and 184 unique parts, the set is mid-sized but varied, and the catalogue lists it under the Ultimate Collector Series. The complete inventory is shown further down this page, which makes it straightforward to check a second-hand set before or after buying. If you prefer to reuse the pieces, the What can I build? tool compares them with other models and shows what your collection could build with them. The large share of greys makes the parts especially handy for buildings and space stations of your own design.
