Editorial Review

The graceful lines and organic form of the Gungan bongo sub made it one of the more elegant vehicles in Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace, and the ship displayed its impressive speed and agility in the harrowing trip that Jar Jar, Qui-Gon, and Obi-Wan took to Theed through the Naboo core. This 375-piece LEGO set gives you all the parts you need to build a Gungan sub, along with 1.75-inch-high figures of Jar Jar and the two Jedi. Both knights are carrying lightsabers, of course. This particular model of the sub displays some pretty intricate detailing, including flip-up hatches for the triple cockpit, a separate mini-vehicle, extra propellers, and an anchor. A spinning tail with flexible fins adds an extra 10 inches to the 9-inch-long craft. There's another amazing feature, which you didn't see in the movie: this sub quickly separates into three detachable vehicles, one for each passenger! --Paul Hughes

Product Description

Your mission is to travel in the Gungan sub to the Naboo city of Theed! But lurking in the waters is a sea creature just waiting to eat your Gungan sub for lunch. Use the power of the sub's rotating propeller to speed you out of danger. Comes with Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Jar Jar Binks.

My 5-year-old loves the Gungan Sub more than any other Star Wars lego. It is exciting to build and a lot of fun to play with after building. It is visually appealing and stays together better than the X-wing (which constantly falls apart). Well worth the money.

This set has some pretty cool unique pieces and even though I'm not enthrawled with the over all desing, I still enjoy this set. It is set up differently from the movie as the characters have their own individual "cockpit". Hmmmmmm, I've tried to figure out why they decided that. It pulls apart to construct a mini-getaway-sub.....but wasn't the whole thing a get-away sub? Oh well, it got some cool pieces and I think it looks goods. It also has a stingray fish too! Good for the avid Star Wars collector.
