The Undeniable:

Set: 7115 - Gungan Patrol
Theme: Star Wars (Episode I)
Pieces: 77
Figs: 2
MSRP: $9.99
Part to $ ratio: 1:$.0771


The Good:
2 Tan 8x8 Raidar Dishes
2 Tan 1x2 printed tile (Duffle) One is a spare!
2 Green 4x4 plates
Purple Shield
2 Brown Saddles
2 1x6 Brown Bricks


The Bad:
The Kaddu's are not articulated.
No Orange Bits to fill the Saddle area on the Kaddu's
The Gungan Heads (We have heard this before)
No Stormtroopers (Standard "Bad" until I see one)

The Huh?:
Why does the Gungan Soldier have a Green torso when the front is printed
entirely Black and Orange.


Model Rating:  7
Part Selection:  6.5


The Explination:

I also rank this set high among all LEGO System Sets although like most Episode
I sets I rank it a bit lower then most Classic Sets.

The Kaddu's are cool although it would be nice if they were articulated.  I am
a hugh origional trilogy fan so I am more interested in the Classic sets but if
you are a big Episode I fan you probably like this set a lot for recreating the
final battle scene between the Gungans and the Battle Droids.  It is a cheap
set that includes 2 Gungans and the Kaddus.  I may get another if I have a need
for the dishes or the 4 2x2 corner slopes but for me this set will probably get
sorted and incorporated into my collection very soon.

(...) And as such should have included at least two battle droids. (24 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars)
