@@UnanimousBionicleGuy unfortunately, the chrome legos wont come back. Some people complained that the chrome lightsabers would chip. Or the chrome lightsabers would be too expensive to produce
I'd hope that's not unpopular cause I love them too. They were better for making MOCs because the limitations forced you to be creative and at the same time you didn't feel like you had to be a perfectionist.
Yeah personally, I prefer the new one, because this one is kinda of a mish-mash of scenes, but then again, I wasn’t born when this came out, so I have no connection to it 🤷♂️
@@ArthurCowboy06 I was born plus the old used sells for $800 sealed around $2000 I’m glad I picked mine up for “cheap” $400 and as the years go by that price is just gonna keep on building up
Toby Kristiansson yes but I mean more in terms of nostalgia, rarety and value! I also think that there is not a figure from the new one that looks better than the 2003 boba fett! But this just my opinion!👍
$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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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!

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
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.
So I'm collecting each exclusive mini figure form the the cloud city set I didn't get into Lego until 2018 so never had the chance to buy the set but so far I have Luke Skywalker and I'll be buying the cloud city boba Fett next it's in great condition and my friend only wants $1,000
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!
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
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.
I remember getting the jango fett slave 1 for Christmas one time and I don’t think you care but I thought that Jangos slave 1 was the smallest (except the 2000 boba fett slave 1)
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.
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
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...
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.
I mean, really... The prints on Boba Fett is pretty much how they do them on the Boba Fetts nowadays! I'm a little bit bewildered by the $200 dollar price fore that guy... -_-
I aquired this set new for a great price... 600$ sealed from a guy who neeeded the money pretty bad... I of course jumped on it for that... then proceeded to make a video of me opening a pristine cloud city and popping the seals and building the set bag by bag.. I have yet to edit it and post it to my channel... and I have to say I don’t regret it one bit! Lego is meant to be enjoyed and built! Plus... for 600$.... I can easily get my money back... I’m not a money hungry wh@r@ like others
I love the set but i feel like they did Han Solo dirty because he is not wearing his hoth clothes or even the skiff clothes he wears when going into carbonite and in return of the jedi
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.
