I currently live in Japan and visited a merchant where I picked up the Carbon-Freezing chamber.  I visited the store on a Sunday where a stock person was pulling around a cart with all of the new sets.  I asked if these sets were for sale and he said "no, they will be for sale tomorrow".  So I returned to the store the following day to find the sets available.  I only purchased one, kicking myself now.  There are currently no more for purchase.  I have asked other employees by showing them a picture and they claim that they will not be getting or selling that set.  I have also heard rumor that the United States may not get many or will be late to get them.  Does anyone have any additional info on this set and if the merchant was just early to release?  Thank you all for the input.

I loved those metal figurines.

Reminds me of the Hoth UCS, I can see them doing it.

i email baronsat (eric) and see if he will create a Bespin MOC like his Kenner Micro inspired Death Star & Hoth sets.

Wow that is nice.  Also, one of these minifig does not belong (err unless you subscribe to a certain SW theory)

I know. Lock him in the trash compactor and turn it back on.

 

Back to the set 75137. I like it a lot for some reason. I'd like a higher piece count but combining 2 sets is a good option.

25% off this kit, Reys Speeder, Droid and Hoth Scene at Tescos.

£15 for Carbon, Droid and Rey and £13.50 for Hoth.

He did it!  Even created the Torture Chamber based on Kenner Prototype info.

well... eh... I mean nice MOC and all but... isn't the music a little bit over dramatic?

"Man look, I hear you... it's funny to me too, I mean it's strange... it's strange to me too, but we're talking about MUSIC man, we're not even talking about the MOC... the actual MOC, when it matters... We're talking about MUSIC… "

 

Seriously, the music is good.  Turn down the volume.  Those Bespin mocks are insane and this specific one is based on a Kenner prototype that only a couple of people like Gus Lopez owns.  This unproduced Kenner item is worth over $20k easily based on it's last known sale in the 1990s and estimated appreciation since then.  Who cares about the music. 

My brain cannot contain this thread. I had completely forgotten about the micro death star until i saw this thread a long time ago, and the MOC is epic. The bespin Moc including torture chamber, and even the bacta tank is just more than my piddly brain can handle.

THANK YOU for sharing this. So enjoyable to see what Lego can do in the hands of a nerd artist savant (#nerdisant patent pending)

I reached out to baronsat and asked if he would like to do an interview. We'll see if it works out.

I'm assuming you've seen all the others, but i'll share this link for others to see the MANY unproduced micro collection sets that never existed. The Slave I was a first for me, as of today. I love how much hidden history is out there.

I bought one in amazon for 20 € (33% discount)
Later I decided to buy another unit and my surprise was that they have raised it to € 30
Now I regret not having bought at least one other.
It's an important scene with interesting figures.

44% off.  

100% buy at $14.  Don't even think twice. Especially if you want to MOC it.

I'll wait for a better version when Assault on Cloud City comes out next year ;-)

17.49 online at target. With red card get three for $50 or so.

I wonder what the chances of this being remade is?  I am always worried about that when it comes to Star Wars and some other themes.  The price is looking pretty good on Amazon right now.  For the price and the minifigures that are included,  it seems to me to be a no-brainer.

Maybe not a remake, but this scene included in a Cloud City UCS playset would be nice

Oy maybe they'll botch it like they did with UCS Hoth (lack of available AT-AT to go with it) and expect you to have purchased the Carbon Freezing chamber to complete Cloud City ?

Are there plans for a UCS Cloud City?

My concern with this set at the moment is that the Desert Skiff also has a Boba Fett, and it has a better Han. The playset itself isn't fantastic (too small), so it would have to be the Ugnaught bringing it up. Biths didn't do that for the Cantina, so I am not expecting much. I have just one tucked away, that I managed to get for £8.50.
