The Gungan Sub is an iconic vehicle from a memorable Star Wars episode. Recreated in LEGO form, this set captures the unique aquatic design of the Gungan vessel with its bulbous shape and vibrant color scheme, bringing a key piece of the Phantom Menace to your collection.

This set is perfect for Star Wars fans who appreciate the prequel trilogy and its unique designs. With a moderate piece count, the build offers an engaging experience without being overly complex, making it suitable for both younger and older builders who want a great display piece.

Investment Grade

⏳ Retired

The Gungan Sub (9499-1) presents a moderately attractive investment opportunity, driven by its status as a retired Star Wars set. The set's value has been steadily increasing, reflecting the enduring popularity of the Star Wars theme and the limited availability of this particular model. While the prequel trilogy may not be as universally loved as the original trilogy, it still holds a significant fanbase, which supports demand for sets like this one. However, the investment potential is somewhat tempered by the set's initial reception, which was mixed, and its relatively high price compared to its piece count. Investors should be aware that the market for prequel-era sets can be more volatile than for sets based on the original films.

Emmasaurus states that if you want a Gungan Sub, this is the set to get. They recommend buying the set used or without the Queen Amidala figure to save money because the figure is often sold separately at a high price.
