Cloud City, the [play] set everyone is waiting for ...

Cloud City is the fantasy of the LEGO world: All collectors would like to be able to afford a set 10123 (from 500 € on Bricklink, used but complete). Obviously, it is especially the unique minifig of Boba Fett (from 140 € on Bricklink) with its print on the legs that motivates this craze, the rest of the set being all that there is more classic. I paid a high price for mine, and even if I resigned myself due to the rarity of the set, I think I paid very (too) dearly for this famous minifigure ...

But for the most part we are interested above all in a possible new interpretation of this emblematic place which floats around the planet Bespin seen in theEpisode V: The Empire Strikes Back. The duel between Luke and Vader or the freezing of Han Solo are all key events in the saga that take place in this city of clouds.

Regularly, rumor has it that LEGO is about to announce a re-release of this set. 10123 released in 2003 with its 705 pieces and 7 minifigs. but to date, no concrete information has been revealed and nothing leads us to believe that LEGO plans to release a set on this theme.

StoutFiles took the problem head on and dared to imagine what a playset of the caliber of the set could look like. 10188 Death Star released in 2008 with more than 3800 pieces and 22 minifigs and which remains arguably to this day the best playset ever released in the Star Wars range.

The result is this work carried out under LDD with a meticulous reproduction of the key locations of the city of clouds while respecting the playability and design codes used by LEGO for the set 10188. All is not perfect, but the effort deserves to be highlighted. The exercise is interesting and StoutFiles posts regularly on Eurobricks of the captures of its work under LDD. Do not hesitate to take a tour from time to time on the dedicated topic, there are good ideas.
