Gungan Sub Reviews
Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“While Gungan Sub has been only slightly overperforming the average yearly growth of many sets Star Wars sets, with an average annual growth rate of 10%, this set is strong investment for many LEGO collectors.”

“Overall I think this is an excellent set. It's an interesting build, full of useful pieces, and the end product looks great and exactly as it should do. The arguably superfluous minifig Queen Amidala is the icing on the cake and makes this the 'must have' Star Wars set of... More this summer.”

“I think LEGO missed the boat on this one. There are better things that need a rehash out of Episode I (like, say, the Flash Speeder) that would have been better to put Amidala in. This one is the worst kind of mix, a set that's bland and a bad value. Or they could have added... More something more to this to make it work (maybe Boss Nas, or a brick fish or two). In the end, the actual model looks good, it really does, but that can't get you to forget the price and how bad the value is.”
