I feel like there’s a slight gap in the Lego demographic, I want more advanced sets with detailed minifigs and complex builds but at a more reasonable price. I’m 16 so a lot of the main Lego Star Wars sets aren’t interesting to me as far as builds whereas I appreciate the attention to detail. I wish Lego Would sell regular priced sets of this quality.
Hogwarts castle is sold as an unique expensive set but also it's sold "room by room" at a more affordable price and with the possibility to conect different rooms in one huge set. The problem with Star Wars is that there are not sets about locations that you can "join together into a bigger set". Ships and minifigs are the ones that can work together with some sort of "same location" logic.
@@jiggleballs55 I don’t think that’s what he means. This is a high quality set, that’s presented in the price realistically, but perhaps a smaller scale set for like £50 but with the same standard the ucs or master builders series sets
The dust has settled! Cloud City has been out a couple weeks now and I really like it for what it is. An awesome playset with plenty of fun functions and a couple beautiful ships to boot! Will you be buying it?
I probably won’t, but I’m going to ask for it for Christmas, or I’m going to get the Ninjago City Docks since I have the City already with my own money. Anyways, I might get it.
No as it's not really displayable like the original. It's a 360. Degree view set so not suitable for my setup. This truly is a playset like the two death stars. Nothing wrong with it but just not for me.
I like the set. The mini figures are amazing. It would’ve been cool if they made it like a millennium falcon and made flaps on the sides so on the outside, it looks like a full blown cloud city, but when you open the flaps and reveal the inside, you see the play features and all
18 minifigures for that price is pretty fair tbh! Also, I really like the spot where Vader chops off Luke's hand, and the landing platform. Great review!
I have summoned my alt account to tell you that it could have Dooku, Grievous, Anakin, Obi Wan, R2D2 and anyone else from the opening of Revenge of the Sith Edit: Palpatine too duh
I think that something Lego should do to allow their sets to have more vehicles incorporated but still keep the price low is use slightly bigger than Microfighter spaceships, and in MBS sets do them a little bit larger than that.
This set is definitely worth it it has so many iconic moments and I think it captures everything so well not to mention the minifigures and I love the mini Slave one !!
Just thinking about all the fans playing and re-enacting the “I know” scene with handcuffed Han and taking off the hand off Luke and doing “I am your father!” in the best Vader voice possible capping it off with the “Nooooooo that’s impossible!”
“A lot of people were trashing this set. . . . But am actually very happy with this set. . . . It’s a WONDERFUL playset.” Finally some sense! I wholeheartedly agree with you, and am glad that you’re not giving in to the online backlash from self-appointed “LEGO connoisseurs”. Like you, I think it is a wonderful, doll-house-like playset ( a rich and enchanting toy paracosm ), and I am sure most boys will love it, as well as find lots of story possibilities in it. I would say it’s right up there in terms of on-the-fly pretend-play potential with the Death Star and the Ewok Village, as far as environments are concerned. I also suspect Amazon reviews from happy parents will confirm this, when they eventually come in - though price will probably be an issue for many, I agree ( for the less moneyed: I heard LEPIN has some great deals! ). My one criticism, however: I wish some of the rooms had been made more accessible for play ( ex: white corridor ), and also that a micro-scale millennium falcon had been included ( such as LEGO 7778 ). Otherwise, awesome! Good job LEGO! Unfortunately, many “professional” adult reviewers and online pundits have already panned it, mostly for lacking in “display-ability”. You can almost feel the calculated disdain; ex: Brickkvault’s review ( which incidentally censored one of my comments when I pointed this out -- which shows how petty they are ). “Oh no, another ‘Assault on Hoth’ thingy!” seems to be their implicit battle cry: let’s trash it to show that we are the true arbiters of ‘cool’! Snobbism, plain and simple, along with a surprising -- and ironic -- lack of touch with how kids really play. It’s a PLAY-set ( you know, a toy for kids?! ), and as such it is unfair, and I would say practically sacrilegious, imo, to look at it as an inert thing to be placed on “display”( = UN-play, or DISS-play ) - like: on a shelf! …’Commodity cult’, anyone? P.S. To grown-ups who would have preferred it to be more “displayable”, here is an idea: slice the playset pie in half, stack the two halves, and shove the whole thing against a wall; presto: "display-shelf-ready Cloud City" ( = 2/3 of a Death Star, or so )! Who knows, you might even have FUN in the process. *EOR*.
Use the brick separator. Put the stickers with an edge on the brick seperator first, then use it to place the sticker on the lego brick. Works fine for me.
With this set being so difficult to display due to its sheer size a great compromise might be to take off the landing pad + Slave 1, the scene where Luke and Vader face off plus the Carbon Freeze scene and display them alone. Seeing as they all come away from the main set.
It so so worth it, you get the main characters from episode 6 and there are so many hidden features in the build that highlights the best parts of that episode.
Hi Ryan I love your channel. It is my go to on set reviews and I have watched your videos for a long time and am considering starting my own channel on LEGO Star Wars as well as other things.
350$ was a steal! I have missed that and just paid 600$ to get it. This set retired very quickly therefore I am not surprised to see price skyrocket...
I love this set, but the issue with this one in comparison to lets say, The Mos Eisley MBS is scale. Mos Eisley Cantina isn't that large, and it can be represented well with all the details it has in an affordable lego set (by big set standards). However, Cloud City is so large that it will never be at true scale with enough details and space unless it costed $1000
MandR, you should get Pre Vizla's starfighter, it is a great build and the proportion of the ship with the minifigure is perfect, just as in the clone wars.
Interesting that you came around to like this set so much! However, I was wondering: Would you not have preferred the set be released in separate components (like modular builds), so people could buy bits they wanted and not need to pay $350 dollars for the full thing? E.g have separate sets of the cloud car, slave I, the vader vs luke balcony, the torture chamber, the dining room area etc. I think with a few modifications to the recent carbon freezing chamber set, getting to slowly build up your cloud city with multiple $15 - $40 sets would have been incredible (say 2 sets per wave over the course of 4-5 waves?)
The newer Chewbacca’s eyes look so weird to me. I feel like the original version looked way better. But I agree that the highlight of Lando is that amazing cape of his
Bossk's Bounty I agree this is a great set I am a teen and I have been saving my money for this set because my parents won’t get me this set for Christmas your son should really happy but I will get the set late October too bad it could not be for Christmas 🎄
I would buy the mini slave 1, and the cloud car on their own If I could. I love the build for the slave 1! The cloud car windscreens/cockpit window whatever looks a tad bad to me but thats all
Ryan this is your best lego review ever i just like the voice over being edited (At least i believe it is) and something about the lighting and location and just style of review love it please do this type of review again.
Built mine this weekend really like it Im not too dissapointet about not having a closed exterior I mean why can you hate this set for not be a display set when the original also was yust a playset
alex 1 the original was not 350$, but not all sets are supposed to be display... a terrible price to part ratio also turns me off to it, could of made a simple exterior for 350$
pretty good set!,I just wish the shape looked more appiling because on first glance you can't really tell what is it but all of the individual rooms look fantastic so are the minifigures also maybe $250 not $350 Great review Ryan!
I was super hyped but i gotta say that this is very poor. Studs without plates, the shape of the whole thing Just like the transition from one room to another makes it so bad. I like this idea of the mbs but what we got makes me super sad...
I think this is a pretty good set as well! I do think that LEGO would never sell this for $250, but I think $300 would be pretty much the perfect price
I’m pretty sure the studs are blue because salve 1 is equipped with heavy cannons(the ones on the bottom) and the ones on the top should be ion cannons (basically ship stun shots)
RoidREK gaming Wait.. in the movie, Han Solo went down into the carbonite machine with hand cuffs, but when he comes out his hands are separate. And LEGO even ignored that and gave the minifig hand cuffs.

So you want some thing like this but smaller so that it can be cheaper
so what ur saying is u want more sets this size but u want it to be like 50 dollars

Is there a spare hand as a spare part?
No? Come one Lego, get accurate to the movies

there is one, Lego just made a mistake in producing the set, they put it on Luke's arm by accident
What if they just didn’t give Luke a left hand, like he just didn’t have one, and they molded it where you couldn’t give him any other hand.

Wait.. in the movie, Han Solo went down into the carbonite machine with hand cuffs, but when he comes out his hands are separate. And LEGO even ignored that and gave the minifig hand cuffs.

Why they had blue for the stud shooters fo the slave 1 is because it's supposed to represent the proton bombs the slave 1 has
Is it me or dose the Han Solo fig look more like it’s from the solo film? I could be wrong as I can’t picture what the other figs look like.
