The 1980 hit film Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back is coming back to life in plastic brick form, thanks to Lego's new 2,812-piece build. The $350 Betrayal at Cloud City set — which is part of the Lego Star Wars Master Builders Series — will come with 18 minifigures and includes four different scenes from the film through four separate sections, including a depiction of the iconic scene in which Han is frozen in carbonite.
This exciting Lego Star Wars news comes off the tails of the brand's announcement that it will be launching a revamped version of Hogwarts Castle — a 6,020-piece set, to be exact. We can't wait to see what comes next, but for now, take a peek at the photos of the Betrayal at Cloud City set — which hits stores Oct. 1 (Sept. 13 for VIP Lego members) — ahead.
