Review of 7131 Anakin's Podracer.
Executive summary: Yuk! Save your money for something else.
Take a look:

What can I say? It's a collection of very random parts in very assorted
colours. I can hardly believe that I bought such a lurid thing!
Actually, I bought this set for a number of reasons:
1. I truly believed (at the time) that the 6 yellow banana peels were a
must-have.
2. The price was reduced because it had a squashed box.
3. I was having a buying frenzy and it was just one small piece of a larger
insanity.
OK, so I bought it, I built it, and then I wondered why I'd bothered. Why
did I want those banana peels so badly? Reminders welcome!

I've seen similar sets on shelves and I must say it does look like a pieces pack. (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

| (...) You could have bought the 7171 (which included the 7131) Still on clearance at K-mart for $89, the other two racers are bigger and better. The 'banana peels' do look useful, I'm still not sure for what yet. pete.w <aquanaut@optusnet.com.au> (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

| (...) Actually, it was probably the "bell jars" that did it: to a male AFOL conditioned by years of exposure to minifig "flesh" tones, they would look quite, um, shall we say?, "attention-getting". The "banana peels" are merely an artistic device (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
