IF you enjoyed the review, LIKE the video! :) What do you think of the 15 year old LEGO Star Wars set?

Gotta love how the boba is now worth 10 times more than what it was when this vid was made

Unpopular opinion: I honestly love the older, far more basic minifigure designs- it’s just so charming.

R.I.P money 2007 2018

10:35 a certain stormtrooper might have trouble getting through there😉

I remember staring at the picture of this set in the Lego catalogue when I was a kid. I would just sit and look at it for hours 😂

People are dissing the new cloud city set and loving this one, but honestly, if this set with these builds came out today, people would hate it.

It’s cool to see how far LEGO has come, in comparison between this rendition of Cloud City and the newer one coming soon!

"Who doesn't love Darth Vader?" The younglings

I remember being a little lad and really wanting this set specifically for the boba fett leg and arm prints

I remember buying this as a kid in a Lego store for $65

Ryan being impressed with how Boba Fett sells for over $200 4 years ago, if only he knew how insane the prices are now…

It’s crazy how much this set is worth Gald you reviewed it

This was an online Lego store exclusive and sold out almost immediately. I remember 200 dollar price tag, and the fury on the old forums over the set. You couldn't buy this set in retail stores and that pissed a lot of people off. For years it was the only way to get Luke Leia and Lando in their Bespin uniforms. The Boba Fett mini figure was also the only one (at the time) to have that intricate screen printed detail. While the set itself has aged very poorly (why was the carbonite chamber at the end and not the middle?) it is still a highly coveted collectible because of just how limited it was, and the mini figures themselves which Lego said were never going to be re-released leading to more anger from the fandom. It would be almost 20 years when we would get a more superior (if not still flawed) redo.

Amazing set! Also i love the Boba Fett figure. For some reason, i really like these old Star Wars sets, their design, playabiliy and minifigures! I think the sand color scheme, their simplicity, nostalgia and retrofuturism give both the sets and the minifigures a really nice aesthetic! I wish i had more of them...

So this is the most awesome set review I’ve seen in years. Please take us through some more classic sets in 4K quality. It’s something no one does and this was so awesome to behold. New format is cool too. White backgrounds are so 2015. Anyway keep up the amazing work.

10:46 When suddenly, Han Solo suffers a fatal heart attack...

This is my opinion but I loved when lego released small Star Wars sets. They were cheap and you could get the main characters. For example lightsaber duel from 1999, you got the main Sith and Jedi! Just lovely!

Seeing your review you really appreciate how far the upcoming Betrayal at Cloud City set has come with the detailing and techniques. Even down to the dining table. Making me like and want the new one a lot more! Nice run through!

Nice Review! This set is awesome cant wait for the review of the new one and the comparison! Keep it up Ryan maybe one day ill have the numbers you have

Cool review. I like how you showed the different angles of the set. That play feature in the carbon freeze chamber was pretty cool. maybe in a moc scene it could be used again somehow.

Yes!! Finally! One of my favourite sets ever. Keep up the great work ryan

I’ve been waiting for this! Awesome dude!

hey Ryan. Love the video filming change, works for longer sets. All I can say is you lucky man and I love classic Star Wars. You go brother 4K ON. Big thumbs up dude.

Just think about this: If someone invested 100k in this set in 2003 (buying 1000 sets) and he sold them all in 2020 he would make 900k back just let that sink in. Let’s say your parents instead of buying a house for 200k they bought 1000 cloud city sets and lived in apartment for 17 years and then sold all of these in 2020 they would make 900k back which is enough to buy a house and have 700k left over which is enough money to retire with.

Man I am hoping for a full on comparison video, like try to compare every single thing possible, the “I am your father” scene part, the dining room area, landing platform, all three carbon freezing chambers, list every room that the new one has that the old one didn’t, cloud car comparison, every Boba Fett slave one comparison etc

Imagine you grabbing 10 of these sets when they were new 😮 9000 profit for selling them now...

It's funny, as cool as these older sets are, they didn't have all the pieces we have today so the sets look like I built them a long time ago, and yet the action features, like the door, and specifically the freezing chamber are better than modern doors and noticeably better than the modern freezing chamber

Im so glad you uploaded this my dad is an avid lego star wars collector and just got this set with 10198 for 300 pounds but it didnt have instructions so i had to build it off lego's pdf instructions and damn its so hard to know the difference between the trans orange grille bits and the trans red ones Thank you so much lol life saver

Awesome to see someone reviewing this set nice video

This made me realise how much resellers and Lego collecting becoming alot more mainstream has driven up the prices. There are so many sets I regret passing on around the time this video was made.

Oh my gosh the set looks so cool!

I would’ve love this as a kid I still am but this has awesome play features and it’s awesome

I actually like this way of filming, I think you should film like this but it’s up to you (if you see this)

For the time, this set was mind blowing and everyone wanted it.

Love your content

My brother got this on Christmas 2004 (I was 2 at the time) And now it’s on my shelf with every piece.

I love the new one, but this one is also great too. I’m glad they’re releasing it, and it looks great now! Would have loved a big UCS cloud city, though, but still. I think having the new one, and a UCS slave 1 closer to you could be a cool perspective

The luke minifig looks like a soldier

I prefer this to the new one, I like how it is all on one side so you can display it. I might just have to pick one up I found one for $250

15:01 dropping a 200 dollar mini figure

Wow the set came out already!!! The characters look so accurate and the build looks great !! Good deal 😂

I love your reviews

Looking at sets this days, this is awsome

the platform was made for the original 2000 slave 1 for fett.

I was 11 or 12 when this badboy came out and boy how I loved it! I was able to get Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian and Princess Leia, even Darth Vader and a stormtrooper. Han wore a black jacket in the original film The Empire Strikes Back and I swapped the beige arms for black ones to make him better resemble the likeness.

when i was younger that was one of the sets i always wanted to get but never got it

i love how in the movie where han gets frozen or watever and its dramatic, but when u did it in the video lego han is just smiling

Finally a decent review of this set.

I have always wanted this set.

managed to pick up the cloud city boba fett for about £70 many years ago, still have him on display

i got my 2003 cloud city set for just $525 including the original slave 1 and original twin pod

$528 in 2018?? Boba Fett alone was worth about $350 back in 2017-2018. You got this for an absolute steal then. I think this entire set was worth about $700-$800 during that time.

Love seeing a these LEGO reviews, any advice for people who may want to make LEGO review sets?

When I win a lottery Im gonna go on a 10,000 pound Lego haul of rare and retired star wars sets just 1999-2005

That looks pretty cool

I’ve got one of these, the box is beat up but all the bags still sealed 🤯🤯

14:45 MandR’s inner child came out lol

Ive always wanted this set, maybe after the new cloud city and ucs falcon

i wonder why they chose to put the dining scene right in the middle instead of swapping it with the carbonate freezing chamber

The prices listed here are unbelievable looking back 😩

Lego Star Wars sets have come a long way in the almost twenty years of existence.

I want that boba fett!

Bruh… now this set is outrageously expensive/overpriced. Like I get it, the boba fett is rare but this is insane lol. eBay right now has one of these boba fett’s for like $1500… that’s the cheapest one I see.

Man Lego is really going back on the nostalgia with cloud city

I need that Boba Fett in my life..

Wow nice build :)

Just got this puppy new in box came in near perfect condition!

I actually recently found this in my storage, too bad its missing several parts and the figs aren't with it. Gotta try and mill through other boxes sometime to get it back together.

Been saving for over 3 years for this set. And I am not stopping yet. (Have no job so only get birthday money, and the occasional babysitting money)

Imagine being one of those people who bought this set for $100.

This is the best review of Cloud City on KZfaq, I enjoyed it much more than brickqueen's

Balcony scene 😭👍🏽👍🏽

Watching this in 2024. When my man said cloud city boba fett is worth over 200 dollars i laughed.. and also cried a little coz that figure is worth more than my car now.

I can't wait for the Comparison!

On bricklink the Cloud City Boba goes for almost $600

I have a question for ask mandr. Do you think that people will create side paneling for the new cloud city?

$520 is a steal this thing is like thousands for pre owned

Epic!

The 2x2x6 piece is from Jack stone, if I remember rightly.

you madman... you absolute madman...

Dam I really want all those exclusive figures. Not the set. Just the figures. I have the regular boba Fett from that time though.

Is the cape on Ryan’s lando fake? Mine has the same but I’ve seen apparently the real cape is two capes stuck together? Someone please confirm!

This cloud city lego Star Wars set is a great lego Star Wars set and it holds up Buy to days stands

Ok, you might think I’m crazy after this, but I actually wish the 2003 carbonite thing area was in the 2018 cloud city and the make it a little more curved.

This is dope dude, that Boba Fett is the highlight

One of the best sets ever!

1:20 - incorrect. Han is unique to this set (at least at the time), because it is the first instance that he came with leg printing, such as the belt on the joining part, and the holster printing on the right leg. He doesn't command the same price tag as the other rarer minifigs of this set, but this version isn't as common as you may think. 2:15 - so weird seeing Leia with Padme hair. 2:37 - his belt printing I think is also unique (especially for the time). He looks like he is wearing a jumpsuit though. 3:11 - funny that his belt printing is on his torso, rather than the leg-joining piece like Han and Luke have. I think his face is better than most modern Lando faces. 4:00 - I think the older helmet of Darth Vader looked less corny, before they started to try and do the underside of the helmet (which is over-emphasised in the newer models). 4:25 - And so the arm printing begins. But it won't be done again for quite some time...

as much as i give this set the fact that it actually does look pretty detailed for its age and such, the new cloud city is sure an improvement. again, not trying to bash this one, i get why it is so desirable, but everything considered, i'd rather buy the new set instead of this.

Lets hope the new one lives up to the hype.

"Search your feelings or something like that, you know it's true" -Darth MandR

I finally got this set!! For $350!

You should review the tie crawler. I know you smashed it already but this set I’ve always wanted but never bought it

That landing pad would probably take up half the pieces if they put one that size in the new one because I doubt they would make one with so many large pieces!!!

15:28 He said my name!

Very rare set can't believe you have it !!

The vest set!

awesome

I looked up s review on this set yesterday and only brickqueen showed up 🙄 I couldn’t get thru it all
