📝 Our Take

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.

Skip this if you prefer Original Trilogy sets or dislike the Episode I aesthetic. If you're looking for a more classic Star Wars vehicle, consider sets like the X-Wing or Millennium Falcon for a more familiar building experience.

Investment Grade
⏳ Appreciating
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.

Compare Similar Sets

The Gungan Sub offers a unique design compared to typical Star Wars spacecraft, appealing to collectors interested in more unusual vehicles. While sets like the X-Wing or Millennium Falcon are more iconic, the Gungan Sub stands out for its distinct aesthetic from Episode I. Its value lies in its rarity and the appeal to fans of the prequel trilogy, making it a worthwhile addition for those seeking a more diverse Star Wars collection.

4 Minifigures Included

The set includes four minifigures: Jar Jar Binks, Padme Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Qui-Gon Jinn. Jar Jar Binks is exclusive to this set, making it a desirable addition for minifigure collectors.
