Hey Jon! Welcome . . . .
As far as Anakin's pod being in both the larger 7171 and it's own box: I
understand the fact that they would put Anakin's pod in a small set for all
the kids that want a model of the hero without paying for two other, less
known pods. What I don't understand is why they didn't just put a fourth,
different one in 7171, instead of just reissuing Anakin's, especially since
Anakin's is available in such a small set.
