Like I wrote before, Anakin's Pod Racer set is 134 pieces, and that includes
extra pylons and a pit droid and another minifig.  So the pod itself may be
about 110 pieces.  So lets assume the other two are double that at 220 each.
That makes for 550 pieces total for all three pods.  Now you have 344 pieces

These minifigs wont total more than 50 pieces.  There is still a ways to go in
the piece count. I'm talking about 1.5 more pods or how about that hotdog
stand I mentioned earlier.  Have Jabba flipping burgers and turning dogs while
wearing a spiffy chefs hat.  Anyone?
