Guys the *Set Details is obviously left over from the last video.* Everybody sees it. I'm so sorry, seriously. I've messed that up a bunch of times and haven't successfully fixed my process to stop that mistake. Everyone sees it though; hopefully there's no point in focusing only on that one mistake and ignoring the rest of the video.

[@thomassmith1818]

No problem with it,I'm just happy a new video is out!

[@milanamin36]

everyone makes mistakes, it's a human thing, don't blame yourself.

[@Lordodragonss]

Focus on good thing - you made ANOTHER amazing review!

[@defw0036]

No worries! Videos are great. :)

[@TM-hf6cr]

Hi Jang, I don't think anybody minds. It actually just shows you're a human too. Humans make mistakes. It even made me laugh a bit!

[@cyboticzombie]

The anakin figure looks like a mighty micro fig not gonna lie.

[@JustJbrick]

I thought that too XD

[@erintodorovac6010]

Yeah it is just like a minifig with short legs. So you could call harry potter that

why is obi wan in this set but not qui gon who was actually at the race

[@evandenis5488]

@@AwesomeBrickSauce That's not arbitrary, they wanted Qui-Gon with Maul so you could have the duel. Obi-Wan was left over because he did next to nothing until the last duel.

[@obi-wankenobi9743]

Or shimi because we need here in Lego form

[@pathowgate2544]

Should’ve had padme in this one

[@scribblejibble]

Obi-Wan Kenobi I definitely agree that they should’ve put a Shimi figure

[@chuckschwa]

This was the set that brought me out of my dark ages. I really really hope Lego does a podracer series someday. There are so many cool pods they could do, I would buy them all!

[@joeiorio9654]

I got this in 2011 for my 7th birthday. Still have it built on my shelf

[@tk6882]

Dude this is so cool recently you've been getting older sets and it's awesome

Why is obi wan included I thought he was in that chrome spaceship the whole time they were on tatooine

[@Fade2GrayOG]

Obi Wan probably sells better than Qui Gon

[@stepheng6349]

Correct, he was working on fixing the ship while Qui-Gon and Amadala went in to town for parts.

[@vaque24_93]

and he was, i think it could have been better to add qui gon here

[@cliffordbenenati7373]

He was in the movie, maybe at the time they hadn't made a set with obi wan in any surrounding waves so they released him here

This value will look good once we see the $80 Grievous Starfighter in August.

[@funkyfaulc2610]

As much as i hate that all your comments on old videos have been removed due to coppa, at least now my little brother (only allowed on youtube kids) can watch your reviews and choose sets he wants. Thank you Jang, for being awesome.

[@Ayeeduhnn]

One thing I will always remember about picking up this set back in 2011 is mine came with not one but TWO Sebulba minifigures! Very lucky I got a spare because overtime his leg clips WILL break from stress

[@caspibear1282]

At first glance thought this was a new 2020 set

[@cliffordbenenati7373]

I know it's been months, but I'm still so happy we can comment

[@ssjcj4081]

Used to have this set back in the day wild to think its almost been 10 years!

[@ehclan]

Just wanted to say that I love watching your videos! You inspire me to build more creations, even if they are a bit simple! :)

[@Karemaker]

Jang got me back into LEGO too! It's so good for the mind, I feel.

[@galadato7425]

This set is very nostalgic, I didnt own it but I always saw it at the catalog and was like:"wow"

[@MrChmchugh]

This set was heavily clearanced when it was in stores. I got it at 40 or 50% off and it was readily available around that price back then.

[@naquris4241]

I wonder if we'll ever get Sebulba and Watto figures again.

[@fusecharger9563]

I must appreciate the quality of your videos and the effort you put into making them .

[@lilricky5050]

I remember getting this set when I was 7 years old

[@Karemaker]

Thank you Jang and also thank you Wulfy for supporting this video.

[@davethewolf]

Thank so much for building and reviewing this!!! Was so happy you picked it up for the Patreon request! Love your content JANG and this made my day! thanks again - Wulfy

[@andya696]

So glad you reviewed this set. It's really aged well. I finally picked up a used one (in box) off eBay a couple of months ago, and paid around £50. Needless to say, I'm REALLY happy with THAT price to part ratio!

[@edson_contreras]

I bought this set and I got 2 Sebulbas minifigures idkw and It was one of my happiest days ever!!!

[@johnhart8856]

This was such a great set, I was lucky enough to get my hand on one a few years back BNIB and it was such a good build

[@nathanieltangel7846]

I love the use of the original music for a throwback video

[@HUDBRICKS]

The figs are cool. I like the set overall you did a good job at reviewing it! 😀

[@jsosse]

Hey, Jang! Nice review. Hope you get more into ‘throwback reviews’ talking about older sets!

[@scottsandford9437]

I had this set Jang, wish I’d kept it! Great video; keep up the amazing work!!

[@jeffflank2193]

Thanks Jang, I like the set,I really like Watto’s minifig.i really really like the constructive criticism.🤠

[@militaryevents107]

This is amazing jang, I saw you build it live.

[@contentbot2.9]

I would like to see LEGO make more sets of podracers who haven’t been made into official sets or haven’t had an updated set in years. I would love to see minifigures of Dud Bolt and an updated Aldar Beedo!

[@ilikemovies22]

This is SUCH a CLASSIC. I loved this set.

[@bobi_futt]

Love this set! I wish they would remake Sebulba’s podracer to go with the new Anakin’s pod. And I really wish they would make some of the other racers they never released, but I don’t think theres any chance they would

[@luisemoralesfalcon4716]

I had the original Anakin podracer but then it ended up in pieces, thanks for this review.

[@omarbaba9892]

Can you review the twilight??

[@IronAndrew-jt4tv]

I like the Anakin’s pod racer more than the Sabulba. The older Anakin’s is better. Also, the pilot face of Anakin does not look like him at all

[@twiggs24]

We miss your videos. Come back my friend

[@cloudcleaver23]

I wish they'd make more podracers. That scene was the best part of the movie and got some great spinoff games as well.

[@liamn9640]

Pretty cool set!

[@felixhowlett4245]

I always wanted this as a kid

[@TheLegoPorg]

Nice, cool set I like it a lot, it is a very nice set!

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

It's just interesting to me how some pieces made specifically for the Lego Star Wars line, like those cannons typically seen on Snowspeeders are still used today, but those big chunky engines in Annie's pod that formed the core of it were completely worked out of the newest version. They just don't need to build around those parts anymore. While I do think Annie's latest pod is a substantial improvement though, Sebulba's pod holds up AMAZINGLY well considering it's almost 10 years old and how much lego's design process has changed. It still looks good to this day.

[@TheBenjaman]

Time flies so fast, feels like last year when this wave came out

[@marcusjnorger3089]

Hi jang, do you think you could start showing the brickset set details at the beginning of the videos again? Or at the beginning and again when you’ve been doing it lately? It’s really helpful at the beginning for folks who just want the facts quick.

[@OneLEGOHero]

Legendary set

[@NebulaElite]

Great lightning setup!!! Could you show how you do that with a great white background. Thx

[@lubey8865]

8:23 I’ll try spinning, that’s a good trick!

[@thebrickbuilderofhistory]

Time to go back to 2011 people to get this nice set!

[@z_monty]

Sebulba's podracer has held up remarkably well

[@poo3433]

I remember when this first came out, I can't believe it's almost ten years old.

[@defenderprime8046]

Ahh, the famous podrace in Episode 1, one of my favorite scenes in the whole movie, I can still hear the noise coming from each podracer, Anakin's sounded like an earth race car: Vrrrrrrrrr!!! While Sebulba's sounded like: Tuff tuff tuff tuff tuff tuff! The minifigs were quite cool, but what's Obi-Wan doing there? He wasn't even near the podrace at the time, it was Gui-Gon Jinn who was assisting, and the inclusion of Shmi Skywalker would have been a good idea, and maybe even Padmé, you know? Just to add a little value to the set, otherwise, it did seem too expensive for it's time, 85$ would have been the top if it were up to me, I agree with you on that one, Jang. But thanks for showing one of the older Star Wars sets, that was very cool, and thanks to Wulfy for making this review possible!

[@thespeeder123456]

just wondering. what was the other hero recon team character you made? i don’t think i ever saw the other video. or if there was one

[@Ray-mq6bc]

Love the vid

[@marcgorter8651]

What about this: a Speed Champions type line but with podracers. I'd love an updated version of Gasgano and his podracer.

[@Casedilla73]

I need it! It sounds epic! Might be a bit much though.

[@UncleJDCarp]

Sebulba's pod racer is larger and more detailed and a lot nicer than Anakin's by design - because it's exactly that way in the movie. Sebulba was the Champ, with sponsors and backing - Anakin was a rookie who had never finished a race and his pod racer was made out of spare junkyard parts. Amazing this set is quite a bit more expensive today than it originally was - as are most retired sets. So nice detail review on the set itself - however value is now up to the collector market and is quite a bit more than retail - for original new factory sealed in box. Lowest price for new complete sealed in Bricklink from USA dealer is $149.99 - and from there it gets crazy.....

[@danv2138]

Alright the biggest issue I have with this is the scale of sebulba's pod...the cockpit is too big and too close to the engines, the front of the engines is perfect but the middle part is wayyy too thin, and those two big orange pieces are too blocky and should blend better with the rest of the engines...but amazing review as always Jang!

[@villelepoaho4105]

Man, Sebulba's pod racer looks incredible...

[@tonigregory3240]

Will you ever do more New Jang City updates? Perhaps the 2nd of the 4 skyscrapers you were planning?

[@ministig63ace]

Can you recommend what can I do when lego stickers are damaged during transfer? Mine is all folded and peeling☹

[@Yess355]

Are you going to be doing the summer 2020 LEGO set reviews soon?

[@Metalizer]

I really would like to see Sebulba's pod as re-release or re-make in near future.

[@Lordodragonss]

[@Robotfan987]

This set always tempted me out of my dark ages, and watching this review I was asking myself why it didn't, but then you brought up the price. It was waaaaaaay too much.

[@belgiancheesehead4778]

I didn’t find a palpatine arrest set review on your channel when I looked it up. Maybe you should review that set.

[@polishworm9444]

For curiosity I checked the review of the newer Anakin's podracer and I was shocked when I found out that the Anakin's helmet is far more accurate in the older version.

Haha, it will be still awhile until 2 million, Senait my friend.

[@joevictor53]

After seeing this, I'm really wishing they did a remake of 7171 for the 20th anniversary just so we could've got a new version of Sebulba's podracer to go with Anakin's

[@nicholasverdoni5812]

Hey Jang, I was wondering if you will be doing any more custom work soon? I understand that release reviews are a big part of your channel, but what are your thoughts on trying to do (at least) one custom build video a week? (Like an update progress video on a new building, or a new vehicle, etc.?) I know that it’s also contingent on inspiration coming your way, but what are your thoughts on this idea? Ultimately, I respect whatever decision you make and understand that there’s a lot of thought and deliberation behind it, but I was hoping you’d at least please consider this idea.Thank you and have a great day

[@pandaplayz198]

I have this set although it's in a bit of a state of disrepair and for me sebulbas legs never held they just broke. I think I replaced them from Lego twice or thrice
