7171 Mos Espa Podrace

This set was released in 1999. This was one of the first big Lego Star Wars sets. The set contained ten minifigs; pilot Anakin Skywalker with his helment and retractable goggles, Padme Amidala, Qui-Gon Jinn with his green lightsaber and Jedi cloak, R2-D2, Sebulba, Jar Jar Binks, Gasgano with his helment and retractable goggles, and three Pit Droids. The set also came with Anakin Skywalker's podracer, Sebulba's podracer, and Gasgano's podracer. Each of these podracers came with its own pit droid. Also included were two service stations and three flags. The set came with directions to transform the podracers into different vehicles. This set was taken from a scene from Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. In the scene Anakin Skywalker would go on to win his first podrace, beating out Sebulba and many other podracers.
