I am somewhat disappointed by the Cloud Car. It looks like it is indeed
all in one color, but I can't tell if it is original red or a new shade.
The major disappointment to me is that they do not have enclosed cockpits.
It appears the Cloud Car cockpit consists of a hinged 2x5 airplane canopy
(like the ones used in Millennium Falcon escape pod) with two of those 1x2
plate-with-handlebar pieces on the sides for "windows". Also, it looks as
though the outside side of each pod has a 4 long hinged panel consisting of
two 1x2x2 panel elements on hinges opening for the pilot to get out. I
rather wish they had chosen to use a design that used an enclosed cockpit
instead.
The Alpha Team sets look to be very useful in terms of parts-my biggest
hope is that those are ABS plastic panels on the sides of that station. The
Destroyer Droids are very well done, the blaster design on them is quite
interesting. I am kind of disappointed that it appears they will be selling
for $5+, a price more like $3-4 seems more reasonable. Good work, Lego!
