I've cooked one up that I think looks pretty good.  It's been fun to have
something small to tinker with, makes it a lot easier to concentrate on
using the limited number of pieces in many different configurations.

The Cloud Car is by far the best new Star Wars set.  Good model, good price,
and a terrific piece assorment.  Four 2x2 red medium-slope corners per box.
Mmmm. *slurp*  Plus two pairs of the new 2x6 split-slope in both inverse and
regular!

It shoulda been orange, though.  We need more orange!

A survey of the new catalog shows the clear winner in the

$9.99.

I've been working on a Cloud Car alternate model, and it's not as easy
as it looks... there are a lot of great pieces but not enough basic
pieces (bricks and plates) to make much of anything that doesn't look
a lot like a Cloud Car... :-(  At least, I haven't found a way yet.
