[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 493203, member: 7379"] First the pilot, then his ride, Lars? :-) OK, then! When I was a boy, I remember eagerly buying a Twin-Pod Cloud Car. The Pilot hadn't yet been released, hence the somewhat odd artistic choices made by Kenner's box photographer!... I can't say I remember Luke Bespin co-piloting a Cloud Car with a Bespin Security Guard whilst on Hoth, as Lando, Leia Bespin, C-3PO and some of the Guard's clones looked on! ;-) Despite that, I really wanted the ship and rushed home with my purchase and excitedly opened the box to find... well, the ship didn't really do anything. It had a couple of stickers to jazz it up, you could open both canopies (carefully, because they were really flimsy), and the landing gear descended... And that was it! A truly rubbish toy, if we're being brutally honest (so bad in fact, it was never reissued in Jedi packaging!), and yet today I'd never be without one in my collection. Poor it may be, but for some reason, I really, really love the thing! :-D Here's mine: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Twin-Pod Do-Nothing - 01.jpg"]48213._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Twin-Pod Do-Nothing - 02.jpg"]48214._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Twin-Pod Do-Nothing - 03.jpg"]48215._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Twin-Pod Do-Nothing - 04.jpg"]48216._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Twin-Pod Do-Nothing - 05.jpg"]48217._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Twin-Pod Do-Nothing - 06.jpg"]48218._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
