Naboo Battle Pack

[Artizan]

As a mechanized army of Trade Federation battle droids descends on planet Naboo, the reclusive Gungan and Naboo people decide to take arms against the enemy invaders and defend their peaceful homeland. Now you can join the battle against the Federation by assembling this 68-piece Naboo Battle Pack LEGO set. Part of the LEGO Star Wars: Episode I series, the set is easy to assemble and comes with an illustrated, step-by-step instruction booklet. Along with three Gungan and one Naboo guard minifigures, the set includes one ostrichlike Kaadu, and cart for carrying weapons and a Naboo Gian speeder. You can place the Gungan figures on any flat surface, or snap them easily into place on top of the Kaadu mount.

I always believed Episode 1 Lego line is underdone and needed more inspirational sets such as battlepacks, I know Gungans aren't the most popular folks out there but they had a grand army and so needed a battlepack of this kind. To create a more diversive battlepack, I decided to add a Naboo security guard and make it a Naboo battlepack instead of a Gungan one. Hope you like it!

Wow, really cool! Where is that torso from the middle gungan in pic 2 from?

[Artizan]

thanks a lot. that torso is the indian shaman's torso from western series.

Nice! Very creative for a 70 piece limit.

If I had any gungans that's what my battlepack would be.

But even if I did this would be great competition.

Very nice BP. It'll be a great BP for those who joined Lego SW late and missed out on the original Gungan minifigures.

[I Scream Clone]

Great creation Artizan, though I don't think it would sell as well as Stormtroopers or Clones it is a well rounded and designed set considering the part limitation.

Good Luck.

Very nice I would love to have a naboo battle pack in the future. I like the speeder, the blue looks really good but im not sure about the guns sticking out the side it just doesn't look right. I like your choice of minifigs with just one minifig being a bit different just like in mist battle packs. Its also really good that you included a kaadu in their as-well.

good luck!

This is a really nice Entry!

Good luck!

Very nice work, Artizan!

I'd have made a similar entry to this if I had the parts and the money. The speeder looks really sleek and Naboo-like. The kaadu is a nice addition too. Great figs as well.

Good luck.

[Commander Flash]

I love it. Its a good way to collect gungans, and it includes good pieces that don't count over 70 pieces. The speeder is great

[Rufus]

Great idea, great set! I have no Gungans: I'd buy this for sure. the 1999 box art.

[JarJar] Weesa got a grand army! [/JarJar]

Only criticism: the Naboo soldier looks a bit of an add-on, but I guess he adds variety.

Nice work Artizan! I agree Episode I could do with some extra love (desite being less popular) and this battle pack would be superb for starters.

I especially like your speeder; creating a battle pack version of the Gian speeder was a great idea, it looks cool and really accurate despite slight scale difference. I like the Gungan Atlatl too - nice use for a flick-fire

Best o' luck in the contest!

[Artizan]

thanks a lot for the nice comments, guys.

yeah that and he makes it a Naboo battle pack instead of a Gungan battlepack.

[Forresto]

This is really nice, probably best executed BP considering the piece limit. I also really like that you have the phantom menace's box art instead of Clone Wars, it's a nice change in pace. It makes me want Lego to come out with more Phantom Menace sets.

This is one of my favorites. Nice selection of figs in nice colours. Finally something to set-up against my 2 MTT's.

[Rook]

I love it. I had actually thought about doing Naboo but decided against because of this rule.

No large parts - it's a Battle Pack and should resemble existing BP's in size and contents.

Nice Naboo BP.
