Description

Figures first

Twelve minifigures in a set of this size is an unusual ratio. The bricks provide props and small builds, but the real point of the box is the cast. That makes it a natural choice for children who want lots of characters to play with straight away, and for adults building dioramas who need to fill out the ranks of an army. Combine it with other sets from Episode I and a crowded battlefield comes together quickly.

On the grassy plains

The climax of The Phantom Menace runs on several fronts at once: in space, inside the palace at Theed and on the open plains outside the city. There, the Gungan army lines up against the droid forces of the Trade Federation, sheltering behind energy shields to draw the droids away from the capital. It is a diversion, and a costly one, as the machines steadily push forward. The set draws on this land battle, which suits a figure-heavy approach.

Earthy tones

Alongside light and dark bluish grey, the main colours are dark tan and reddish brown. They echo the open countryside of Naboo and are among the most practical colours you can collect. Dark tan works for sand, paths and rocks, reddish brown for timber, fences and soil. With 60 different part designs spread across 241 pieces, many elements come in multiples, which is exactly what landscape builders tend to need.

Keeping the army together

The complete inventory for set 7929 is listed below by colour and quantity. With a dozen figures and plenty of small accessories, second-hand copies are prone to missing bits, and the list shows you exactly what to look for. If you already own the set, What can I build? compares your collection with other models and tells you which you could complete, so the battle's parts can move on to new projects. The earthy browns and tans are particularly welcome in any landscape you build next.
