Lego 7929 - The Battle of Naboo

I am pleasantly surprised by how good this set is. This was part of the early 2011 line-up of Lego Star Wars releases and I had purchased most of this lot in the Netherlands when I was on vacation. It worked out to be slightly cheaper than Singapore local retail prices.

It consists of a Trade Federation troop carrier containing ten battle droids (two pilots and eight battle droids) and two Gungans. If it was meant to depict the Battle of Naboo, then the Gungans are way outnumbered! The Federation troop carrier measures 25cm long, 7cm wide and 10cm tall, with two racks of battle droids. Two Gungan mini-figures are included with this set - the much-maligned Jar Jar Binks and a Gungan warrior with a great looking energy shield. The head sculpts are duo-toned, unlike the monochrome head sculpts from the old Gungan mini-figures.
