Cloud Cars maintain order in the skies of Cloud City above the Planet Bespin. These atmospheric vehicles have twin pods and are armed with laser cannons. Using ion and repulsorlift engines, Cloud Cars can achieve impressive speed as they cruise above the Mining Colony. When the Millennium Falcon arrives at the Floating City to escape imperial pursuers, two Cloud Cars immediately flank the ship and keep a close watch on it until permission is granted for the falcon to land. Soar into battle with this slick Bespin Cloud Car vehicle. Retract the landing gear as you begin your flight and blast off for adventure. This amazing star-skipping vehicle splits into two separate vehicles -- making it one very versatile fighter. Meanwhile, the firing missiles and hidden and visible missile launchers make this a serious combat machine. Open the cockpit to fit a figure inside and check the storage chambers for your additional weapons.

After 15 years of waiting for one since the POTF2 line began in 1995, the long awaited Cloud Car arrives just in time to celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back and it delivers in spades. The size is a bit smaller than the vintage Kenner one but it is sleeker and far more movie accurate looking. The landing skids don't stand up nearly as high as they did on the old one. Each pod has a hidden compartment...Read more 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: By Jon (NY) - See all my reviews = Durability: This review is from: Star Wars Clone Wars StaRFighter Vehicle - Cloud Car (Toy) I'll be honest - I'm a Star Wars purist: only the first film has any interest for me, though I make an exception for the Hoth sequence in "Empire..." and Boba Fett. I've felt this way since I was a kid.
But I've always had a soft spot for the TPCC. Maybe it was the twin canopies, the way you could have two plastic SW buds cruise around looking for trouble. The TPCC pilot figure was released too late for me - I stopped playing with toys around 1982. Still buy 'em though! But now there's a super nice TVC 2010 pilot figure (I have two) and this vehicle pushes my personal interest another 30 minutes into "Empire...". Who knows? At this rate I may even buy an Ugnaught or two. And a new 'Slave One' can't be far behind... The new TPCC is very nice with opening engine hoods and super clear one piece canopies. The missile launchers are cool, not really "film canon" I guess, but it gives the kids something extra. I'm not crazy about the way...Read more By = Durability: This review is from: Star Wars Clone Wars StaRFighter Vehicle - Cloud Car (Toy) The Cloud Car isn't one of the most popular vehicles, but it has its fans. Fortunately, they'll be quite pleased with this new Cloud Car. The last time Hasbro released a toy Cloud Car was 1982 - almost 30 years ago! This one is quite a looker. It's a simply vehicle, but Hasbro took the time to make it well and it shows. The most important thing is that there are absolutely no decals! Hasbro either painted or sculpted all features, including the controls inside the cockpit. Also, while Hasbro usually decides to ruin its Star Wars vehicles by adding on "firing missiles" and other "play" features, Hasbro treated the Cloud Car a bit more respectfully (probably because it realized collectors would be the ones who primarily bought this vehicle). The Cloud Car does have a few firing missiles "for the kids," but they're discretely hidden within the pods of each car. The missile launchers only appear if you push the cars closer together. In other words, if you just want a movie-accurate model...Read more |
