Hmmm - what kind of bits did that robot thingy in the bottom left corner of
the packet get made up of?  Anything useful?  Or was that thrown in just for
the box picture?

I've seen similar sets on shelves and I must say it does look like a pieces
pack.  A rather assorted (if you get my drift) assortment of colors and
pieces.  Wonder if anything could be done with it by adding pieces from
other sets to it, or maybe by throwing an entire set of some sort into it?

Cheers ...

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!

Kerry, now older, wiser, and poorer for the experience
