Jar Jar to the droids: Mesa going to hurt yousa...

For a weird moment I thought that this was 40686.

A very good set, but I always found the name weird. Nothing of Naboo is included, so the name should have been 'Battle droid carrier' but that would've been boring I guess.

Gungans are native to the planet Naboo. They're just not from Theed. Being that humans almost certainly colonized the planet, calling them the Naboo people is just a little confusing.

Wasn't this the set to debut the updated Gungan head mold?

Exsqueeze me! But, 'dis isn't 75086 .
A decent set. Good Gungans. Bombad general.

May 19th, 1999

Mesa preparin for warrin with the Trade Federeros. The big Boss Nass has just promoted mesa to bombad general. Mesa just been banished from the city no no long ago, and now Mesa about to be takin command. Mesa tink of what biggen responsibility mesa about to be overtakin. The bodies; brotherses and sonses, husbands and fathers, not makin it home to theysa families. Mesa not prepared for the burdens of battle, but wesa have a grand army and a noble causen worth fightin for. Mesa pallos Jedi Masterin Qui-Gon, his Padawan Jedi Obi, tha Queenie Amidala of the Naboo, and young Ani all fighten for the freedom of the planet, wesa homes. Big baiten switcheroo with the gungans vital to theysa plans. Wesa ready to do oursen part.
After treading through the swamp, wesa come upon the great grasslands, a muy muy pretty sight, too pretty for warrin mesa tinks, but then the mechaniques begin to appearin over the hill. Mesa pallo Tarpals announcen to starten up the shields, no way the Federeros be gettin past those. Blasten bolts fire, but nothin happen. Success. Then the big brown mechaniques hatch muy muy little mechaniques. Ouch time. Theysa beginnin big marchen against wesa. Wesa have the boomas, wesa have the shields, wesa ready for what comes next. The mechaniqes walkin right through oursen shields and begin blastin. At first, Mesa become happy with how the battle happenin, but then the generatin shielden go big boom! Mesa thrown from mesa kaadu in the excitin. Wesa shields were down and the mechaniques were advancin. Mesa get a booma in a sling, but them tings is muy muy heavy, youbetcha. Luckily Mesa have muy muy good fisticuffens and beat down a mechanique. But even in death, theysa still blasten! Mesa foot gets tangled in the wires, but Mesa use thaten to mesa advantage, taking down one mechanique after the next, even one of the rolly ball ones!

However, the battle gettin too hotten for wesa, sadly wesa must retreat. Mesa try to get on a transport, but accidentally release muy muy big boomas. Mesa try to collect them, but then theysa begin takin out theysa Federeros big mechaniques. A fellow officer spotten me in the excitin scoops me onto hesa kaadu, but then unanother big boom! Mesa flyin! Mesa happen to land on a medium sized mechanique, it's muy muy biggest blaster. Mesa hold on tight, but mesa pallo Tarpals spot Mesa. Hesa tellin Mesa to use a booma, but mesa no have a booma. Hesa throw mesa one, but Mesa have fingers like fish, and yet, the gods, theysa be lookin out for mesa because the booma hit a little mechanique! The bigger one then beginin to twist and turnen, mesa have a bad feelin as wesa begin to turn towards the enemy. Mesa pallo tug mesa leg and wesa fallen to the ground.
Mesa see the battlin is lost, but not Tarpals. Mesa surrendor and spare hesa career. Mesa pallos is oursen only hopin now. Well, theysa and the gods, but mesa wondering what theysa do sometimes. Mesa pallo Jedi Masterin Qui-Gon trustin this thing called The Force, and mesa still skeptical about that, but hesa had good head on shoulders. Back before the battlin, theysa say something about fighting to get in great flying ships to take out the mechaniques, but mesa eyes must not be seein that good. Wheresa they? Later Mesa hear theysa up in the heavens and mesa pallo little Ani is uppen theresa. Mesa seen him race before, and hisen tale of how hesa fly into great ring was muy muy scary. As wesa Gungans were bein grouped for the Federeros, the mechaniques just stop. One tap, and theysa die! Theysa just biggen pushovers! Victory!
But Victory comin with a pricen. As Mesa suspected, muy muy casualties. Later Mesa learn of worst casualty; Jedi Masterin Qui-Gon. Mesa have great debt to that man. Hesa save mesa life, hesa show mesa new places mesa never seen before, and hesa find mesa many new pallos. Without him, mesa never help make peace between the Gungans and the Naboo. Wesa hold a funeral in the Jedi tradition soon. Mesa going to muy muy miss mesa friend.
Mesa also hear rumor that the Queenie needen a Gungan representative to keepen the peace between wesa peoples. Mesa not too sure what that meanin exactly, but the big Boss Nass likes to pull mesa leg sometimes. But if mesa can survive real combat, perhaps mesa handle politiques, too.

With muy muy humility,
Jar Jar Binks

Pretty grandiose name for what seems to be an encounter between two Gungans and a small troop transport.

"Was watching the first six SW movies with a friend about a year ago (he never saw them prior), and the one thing he hated the most about TPH was that battle scenes never happened onscreen. You were either told and supposed to believe that a battle happened, or, in this case, the battle ended without a single shot landing. At least AotC managed to get this right with the battle of Geonosis."

I had the same issue with Lord of the Rings the one time I read it."

I am deeply saddened and offended.

Ìt might not be the biggest or most accurate one. But this one was at least not an exclusive. And it's pretty good for the scale. Good minfigs too. And it has the playability of an MTT with less size, cost and armor. Not bad!

Always liked this one.

@MCLegoboy that was amazing!

does that shield mean that 71046-11 stole some Gungan weapons?

@MCLegoboy

Talking like Jar Jar usually makes meesa brain hurt, so good job at keeping your sanity intact for two whole humongous posts of it! Meesa got give credit where it's due, yousa got dedication, and perseverance, and uh..... whatever the third thingy is! Meesa think meesa need an aspirin... suddenly meesa brain hurt - big Ouchy!

This was my first set with battle droids! I bought it so I could have an army to fight my clones from 7913. I was also going to pick either a second droid carrier or 7670 for super battle droids and a commander. Instead my family convinced me to buy the creator Cool Cruiser 5767. I built all three models and then never played with it again. It was out of scale so I quickly lost interest. Parting it out wasn't too useful either since I never build in yellow. Definitely one of my worst Lego purchases over the years.
