Twin-Pod Cloud Car & Bespin Reviews
Brickset
“The planet sets are at a price point that makes them highly collectable: the planets themselves are not much use other than for Christmas tree decorations but the combination of an often unique (or rare) minifig and a well-designed micro-scale model make them irresistible.”

“Overall, I think this is an excellent set design, and does Lobot and the Cloud Car justice in recreated them in plastic form. There's also a good selection of orange pieces to add to your collection. The planet model itself is kind of odd, but the idea is cool and now MOCers... More have the challenge of incorporating it into MOCs”
