The Gungan sub is also a very good parts pack. It isn't mentioned as
often (it's almost a well kept secret). Lots of dark grey and blue
slopes and plates. A bunch of useful figures (which you don't get so
many of in the Sith Infiltrator), a few plant pieces, a clam, a blue
anchor (I'll be using these to distinguish some of my pirate ships "my
ship is the BSB with the blue anchor"). The only less usefull part is
the printed domes, but if you have any aspirations for an underwater
realm, they could be used quite nicely there (you could also use them
for larger force shields, or even windows in a castle dedicated to the
element of air).
