The Undeniable:

Set: 7124 - Gungan Patrol
Theme: Star Wars (Episode I)
Pieces: 105
Figs: 1
MSRP: $9.99
Part to $ ratio: 1:$.105


The Good:
Lots of Green Plates and Tiles
Classic Smiley
Brown Hands on fig
3 2x4 Brown Bricks
2 2x4 Brown Slopes
10 2x2 inverted DkGray Slopes


The Bad:
None other than...
No Stormtroopers (Standard "Bad" until I see one)

The Huh?:
Although they are cool what are those 1x1 printed green tiles supposed to be?


Model Rating:  8
Part Selection:  9


The Explination:

I also rank this set high among all LEGO System Sets and while I usually don't
rank the Episode I sets with the Classic Sets I put the Flash Speeder right up
with the Classic Sets.

If you like Green and Brown you will love this set for parts.  I expect I will
get a couple when the go on sale.  The fig is very cool and very generic.  A
classic smiley Yippi!!  Also unlike 7110 - Landspeeder this set includes parts
to make it appear to hover.

Once again this is a solid well thought out set that we have come to expect
from the Star Wars Sets.

Your review is right on and I couldn't second it more cheerfully. This is the only 2000 set I dared buy right away. I like all the green of course. Also, it is the second set (after the Tattoine speeder) to have a wide 2-seat base, though not so (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) This reminds me of the mirror trick used in "Star Wars". In a couple of shots, to make the landspeeder appear appear to hover a mirrored skirt was placed around the supporting structure below the chassis, hiding the wheels and reflecting the (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars)
