Hmmm...they're all good, but I suggest either the Naboo Swamp or the Droid
Fighter.  Both have excellent parts, and great "playability" value to them.
There's nothing more fun than swooshing a STAP around, or transforming the
Droid Fighter from a flight craft to a walker.  It looks cooler as the walker,
IMO.  And the Naboo Swamp gives you the two 1x2 tan plates; a piece I wish was
around a little more often.  My 2 cents.

the way Lego is going, it would be best to accept and appreciate it. • Something
along the lines of a 7110 Landspeeder, a 7128 Speeder Bikes, a 7121 Naboo • Swamp
or a 7115 Gungan Patrol.  I like the large orange animals in the 7115, these
could be altered to be duckbilled dinosaurs for the Adventurers Dino Island. • I
kind of want a Jar Jar, just to see what he's like, and this set has two.
Okay, I'll have to figure this out-

7110 Landspeeder
$9-10 CAN, 43 pieces, about $0.22 per piece.
Pros: Lots of good parts, nice design, new hair colours
Cons: None noted.

7128 Speeder Bikes
$16 CAN, 90 pieces, about $0.18 per piece.
Pros: Cool parts, great design, cool minifigs, a lightsaber
Cons: None noted, except I don't feel like spending more than $10.

7121 Naboo Swamp
$16 CAN, 81 pieces, about $0.20 per piece.
Pros: Contains two droids and a Jar Jar, looks like an overall fun set
Cons: Main model is kind of ugly, but still okay.

7115 Gungan Patrol
$16? CAN, 79 pieces, about $0.20 per piece.
Pros: Four cool alien creatures, a weird different set
Cons: None noted, but again its over $10.

Also around this level are the 7111 Droid Fighter (Ugly, no figures), the 7101
Lightsaber Duel (looks awfuly small and incomplete), 7104 Desert Skiff (ugly
and incomplete, compared to Landspeeder).  What do you reccommend?
