I don't like the set, it's Star Wars juniorized. If you compaire the bucket
with the "full" Pod Racing #7171 set, it's simply awfull.

it's also about 1/3 the price.  Convincing a parent to shell out $25.00 is
alot easier than convincing one to shell out $80+

  Even so, they could have upped the piece count or lowered the price--perhaps
by putting it in a compact, inexpensive box rather than a big, pricey, mostly
empty bucket--and sold more sets.  If it were a toss-up between a $80 "full"
set or a $25 inadequate set, I'd opt for a basic tub of 1200 for $20.
Granted, I wouldn't get yet another JarJar or Anakin figure, but I'd be
willing to make that concession...
