To be able to understand why LEGO has been successful for so long, just look to the name. LEGO originally got its name from founder Ole Kirk Christiansen who combed the Danish words "Leg Got" which means "play well". He later realized that LEGO in Latin translates to "I put together." The LEGO set became a standard of creative play for children worldwide, unlocking the creativity to build vehicles, buildings, cities and more. LEGO currently produces about 20 billion LEGO bricks a year and has sold over 400 billion LEGOs in their history -- enough for every person on the planet to have over 60 LEGOs each!

Comments about LEGO Star Wars Twin-Pod Cloud Car and Bespin (9678):

First, I love LEGO mini models. Their assembly is easy and quick, and they are fun collector's items. One thing I really like about mini models is their playability. For an airborne race or a battle in space, it's easier to use mini models than larger, minifigure-scale models. Mini models are easier to hold, assemble, and play with. This one was a great addition to my collection.

Now, the contents of the set:

Twin-Pod Cloud Car
Minifigure
Bespin
Display Stand
Accessories

Twin-Pod Cloud Car
The Twin-Pod Cloud Car is the two-person airspeeder that comes with the set. This mini-model is mostly orang and gray. I love the techniques the designers used. The didn't build just from the bottom up. They built on all sides They used special bricks to build on the sides and bottom, as well as the top. The only thing not sturdy about the cloud car is the nose cones. They tend to fall off every now and then, but that can be overlooked. No part of it features printing.

Minifigure(s):

Lobot

The graphics designers NAILED IT. The resemblance between Lobot's minifigure and the "real" Lobot (from the movies) is amazing. Every detail is true to the classic design. Lobot's face is stern; he wears a look of concentration. The back of his head is printed with the cybernetic databank implanted into his head. EVERY DETAIL of this headbank is accurate. I put it next to a picture from the movie, and wow. Perfect. The clothes are also accurate. He has a light gray vest and white undershirt. The computerized belt he wears is also very true to the movie. His legs are solid light gray.

Bespin

Bespin is plain, but it's still pretty neat. It actually has no printing, but the plasttic is sort of swirled, so it isn't solid color. The mini model of this planet is made of two hemispherical pieces. It comes with a stand so you can sit it down without it rolling away. Another peice allows you to tie a string to it so you can hang it from the ceiling, a display, Christmas tree, etc.

Display Stand

The 9-peice display stand is is useful for collectors. One piece is printed with the LEGO logo, the Star Wars logo, and the name of the model, minifigure, and planet. The cloud car and the minifigure can attatch to it, but the planet can't. This may be why it comes with its own stand.

Accessories

Blaster
The set comes with a simple black blaster that a minifigure can hold.

(The planet also comes with 2 accessories, described in the "Bespin" section of this review.)

Great set, good value for money, and amazing minifig.

• Was this a gift?:
• No

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
