This is where the fun begins
" Ok so the quote is incorrect because in universe Anakin was in an Eta-class Interceptor not Delta-class starfighter, but that's unimportant. I loved both the actual building experience and the finished result. It's visually appealing, and much sturdier than its 11-yr-old predecessor. The stand is somewhat hard to manipulate but not that big of a deal. The new minifigs are a great improvement from the last one. I like how although this is a Clone Wars-based set that the Anakin doesn't possess the goofy, cartoony eyes but rather his normal face. When compared to the 2014 LEGO Jedi Interceptor the Anakin has minor face changes, a slightly lighter hairpiece (still the same mold), and more reflective torso printing. The R2-D2 is the same as the 2014 one. There's another play feature not featured on the box or instructions, but I believe there is a secret compartment in front of the droid socket underneath the darker grey slope piece, small enough to hide extra studs for the shooters or a lightsaber hilt. Overall great build and I'm satisfied with the price range, and also the exclusion of the usual side builds in other sets. This is a great way to get an inexpensive, but still well worth buying, Jedi starfighter, and I just got this set today.

Put Captain Solo in the Cargo Hold
" This set was a very satisfying build as it has been so long since the last LEGO Cloud City was released. However, I was expecting to see a more displayable model, one that looked better on display. I do understand that this is a playset, not a UCS set. One aspect that bothered me was the price per piece ratio. For a set of less than 3,000 pieces, I'd expect $200 to be a far more reasonable price than $350. To put that in perspective, the older LEGO Death Star, 10188, was $400 for about 4,000 pieces. That means that for every $1 you buy 10 pieces. But with Cloud City, you only buy 8 pieces for every $1. There were some pros of this set, though. The most intriguing part for me was the Slave I. I was proud to see a smaller, more compact version that still had the capabilities that the larger, less expensive UCS Slave I had, minus the side compartments. The fact that Boba Fett could fit inside the cockpit with Carbonite Solo in the cargo hold was what made me love this inclusion in the overall product, and it even could shoot rounded plates that could resemble missiles or seismic charges.
