Pretty clever, LEGO! All of Cloud City in 7 pieces, and another 4 pieces to make the Twin-pod Cloud Car.
It's a great build, and exciting to have! And also exciting to get another from Episode V (my favorite of the SW movies) - so that's two builds from Empire Strikes Back so far, and we're only 6 days in! (Cloud City and IG-88).
As I mentioned on Day 1, the "playmat" area has a lot of ice, so I'm hoping this will be heavily weighted to Episode V. And very much hope that we get an AT-AT. I'd love to get a mini one of those, as they are my favorite "spaceships" of the Star Wars universe, next to the Death Stars.
So just for fun, here's my list of favorite vehicles of Star Wars, which really has much more to do with the design of the things than the actual functionality, because let's be honest - an AT-AT and AT-ST are terrible, unstable, inefficient, ridiculous designs for war machines. But as psychological terrors, they're fantastic. Imagine being faced with something that big and scary looking and realizing "My enemy has so many resources that they can afford to waste it building these inefficient designs simply to let us know that they have so many resources that they can build these inefficient and scary looking things and let them get blown up at a ridiculous rate. Crap! We're screwed."
1. Death Star
2. AT-AT

4. Snowspeeders
5. X-Wings
6. Slave I
7. Super Star Destroyers
8. Luke's landspeeder from Episode IV
