LEGO Star Wars Betrayal at Cloud City (75222) Revealed

LEGO Star Wars Betrayal at Cloud City (75222)

LEGO has finally pulled off the veil from its next D2C or direct-to-consumer LEGO Star Wars set, and as it turns out the rumors that went around since early May of this year were all true. If you recall, the news (or should I say rumor back then) broke during the 2nd quarter of this year, when LEGO Star Wars fans got hold of intel that the next UCS-like Star Wars set for this year will be a call back to a previously released LEGO Star Wars set which is the Cloud City (10123) from 2003. The possibility of a re-release or rehash of this set was further reinforced when the September 2018 LEGO Store Calendar specifically mentioned that there will be two new VIP-exclusive D2C LEGO sets that will be released from September 13 to 30. This time around, the possibility of this set finally happening has now been set in stone, with LEGO finally revealing the LEGO Star Wars Betrayal at Cloud City (75222). Read on for LEGO’s official product description.

LEGO Star Wars Betrayal at Cloud City (75222) is available directly from LEGO Stores & shop.LEGO.com from 1 October, 2018, with VIP availability beginning September 13, 2018.
