[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 526253, member: 7379"] The Cloud Car is a bit of a weird one. A toy released for Empire of course, but it didn't do as much as the Snowspeeder, Slave 1 or AT-AT (obviously!)… in fact it didn't really do much at all, plus it was never re-released in Jedi or Tri-Logo packaging, unlike those others. Despite all that however, for some reason I've always loved the thing! I was lucky enough to get one from my local toy shop back in the early 80's, but I can't honestly say that I remember seeing them in the shops near me very often back then. Having said that, when I got back into collecting vintage again in the 90's, there seemed to be loads of loose ones around, and they're still easy to find loose on eBay today (nice packaged ones, not so much!), so perhaps it was more widespread upon its first release than my recollection / experience suggests, or maybe it was more plentiful in some parts of the country than others?
