It’s odd Gasgano’s pod became one of the most iconic background racers over designs that were more unique or got more screen time like Ben Quaddinaros’ 4 engine pod or Teemto Pagalies’ pod with the vertical circular pod that summersalted when he crashed. Gasgano’s is quite colorful but otherwise is pretty similar to other pods like Sebulba’s, Mar Guo’s, and and others in design and silhouette. They also released Gasgano’s pod in the Jazwares line recently
There's a whole page of them for sale on eBay and I'm sure more are going to be listed. The only tricky thing about obtaining this one is knowing it even existed in the first place.
I’m absolutely convinced this was designed alongside the diorama we got to be a throwback to the 1999 set but got cut from that set. It just goes too well together. Then they figured out a different way to release it.
I'm so happy to have this in my collection. Its just one of those cool rare things. I ended up buying a second pod racer diorama on Amazon since they were 33% off recently and I used some points to get it at half price so it brough the extra set down to $40 and my original one was 20% off, so will make an effort to combine them into one!
It that even a set? Lego magazine polybags arent considerd a set because they arent in US so like walmart or target exclusive shouldnt be considerd a set either because its not in EU
4:24 it looks pretty easy on that back wall to connect the pod racer, it would probably look very cool with like his pod up on top of the wall swooping down, tbh if I had the Diorama set I’d definitely do this
Im interested in seeing this too. Although I also kinda like the idea of buying a second set and mirroring it so it's like a bend through the canyon with like an arch on each end. Remove the duplicate podracers and toss Gasgano's in there
They should have done a whole Sub Line/sub theme with the podracers with each having a section of Mos espa to make the larger set even bigger. Like how they did separate Diagon alley sets for HP.
I think it would've been cool if they'd done a collectable series of many different podracers in this scale that all had some modular way to be added on to the main set.
My brother and I got this set and since we build sets by the every other numbered bag method, we decided since this was a special set of sorts and it only had 1 bag, we would build it by every other piece. So that was interesting seeing as most of the time a set has 1 bag we just let one of us build it whoever has the first turn.
when i want to see something reviewed a lot of times i skip MNR because he spends half the video on minifigures and leaves out some details on the actual build. having had a variety of toys like most people i know i cant expect THAT much on a LEGO interpretation of a figure. its amazing lego can even make figures that remotely resemble their source. its a miracle they all look unique. lego you can send me some sets for this comment. not a problem ill review them too. lol.
They should make all the other pod racers on small bases so u can have em scattered around a shelf both ahead and behind the the racers on the original set
I would absolutely be all about this idea. Seems it would he relatively easy for them to do some copy paste designing and give us all the racers in separate builds like this.
Yeah as soon I saw it needed to be SW sets to get it, I wasnt interested as I was purchases non-Star Wars sets for my girl for the Christmas. I just figured Id brick link the set or possibly sift through my two local shops bins for cheaper. Im sure I already have a decent amount of these parts as well. So will be a fun adventure to complete the set on my own
I have no idea if my 13th attempt to upload a barcode worked or not. Worse free event to apply for ever. They should have told us they really just need to see the bar code not the list of items on the purchase, the date, etc…
Ask mandnr: will you take the walmart exclusive pod racer and mix it with the Mos Epsa pod racer set? It would be a very cool idea and a good shelf item.
3:16 I’m guessing they couldn’t because it didn’t come in a box-would’ve been way too susceptible to damage. And putting it in a plastic bag is certainly cheaper than a full-on box, so in a roundabout way, you could say they did. 🤪
I guess you could swap Anakin's or Sebulba's pods for Gasgano's to change things up on the larger diorama. Also Gasgano's pod is lackkng purple. 9.5/10
Ask mandr is there any recourse if they said our receipt was accepted but it hasn't arrived within the 30 days? Are they out of stock? I emailed the only address I could find and crickets...
Why Lego couldn’t give us a full scale Gasgano Podracer? They could’ve saved it for May 4th and made it a £30 GWP like the battle droid carrier. It fits with the Boonta Eve microbuild, but I’d rather it was a full scale set.
Still awaiting mine. I submitted, was verified, registered, and everything. Even with screenshots, still getting the runaround from the help email. Been losing my mind since the 23rd of October with them ☠
I don't think it's a 10/10. I feel it's missing parity between the bases (they don't aesthetically match between the full diorama and the GWP). Personally, I'd give it a 8.5/10. Not perfect but damn good. Points were docked due to product availability (all parts sans printed brick available from LEGO PaB) and mismatched display bases.
This is no different than the in-store B&N build-n-take sets like the recent HP Platform 9 3/4 in a plastic bag. This one was just available through Walmart and available online
"If I had a nickel for every time Lego made Gasgano's podracer, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's werid that it happened twice."
It’s odd Gasgano’s pod became one of the most iconic background racers over designs that were more unique or got more screen time like Ben Quaddinaros’ 4 engine pod or Teemto Pagalies’ pod with the vertical circular pod that summersalted when he crashed.

It helps that Gasgano was one of the best pods to play with in the Episode 1 Racer game. His and Mars Guo. Still waiting on him.
ok
Omfg this joke is so tired
Put it in quotes
One of the trickiest Lego Star Wars gwps to get in recent memory
There's a whole page of them for sale on eBay and I'm sure more are going to be listed. The only tricky thing about obtaining this one is knowing it even existed in the first place.
@ trying to redeem the promo while it was active was a huge pain and they would reject you left and right
Walmart was giving health insurance levels of denials
Not exactly
3 days of back and forth emails before they finally accepted my reciept 🤦♂️
I’m absolutely convinced this was designed alongside the diorama we got to be a throwback to the 1999 set but got cut from that set. It just goes too well together. Then they figured out a different way to release it.
Maybe that, or maybe they figured a sucker like me wouldn’t be able to bear having Gasgano’s podracer without buying the damn whole diorama
So they took Gasgano's podracer out but kept the set the same price.
DLC
I'd rather give that 10/10 to your comment rather than to the set. Very good observation.
FYI someone did add the Gasgano pod to the diorama set. The results were spectacular
Do you have a link?
Need a Ben Quardinaros podracer GWP after this
ik Walmart was chill like that
ben quardinaros battle pack NOW

Even though my submission came back as Congrats and Verified! I still never got the set in the mail.
I never got the email but got the set
Same here! Anything we can do? I wouldn't have bought a set if it wasn't for this.
@Alex-zi1nb exactly the same for me, didn't need to spend the $70 honestly, but I just really wanted the Pod..
Same, still hoping it will show up eventually...
Yeah came here to see if I wasn't the only one. At least Lego sent me a cancellation notice when I bought the AT-AT on sale the other week.
I didn't even know this existed!
I got my hands on this one as well and it just looks really great. It looks good next to the Pod Racer Diorama.
And that’s the FINAL Lego Star Wars 2024 review bring on the 2025 sets!
Not the ziploc bag packaging 😂
I mean it's just what lego uses for the pick a brick online program... Like people thinking that it's somehow worse then an yellow box is beyond me...
fine addition to your collection
who else mandring they production rn?
Same bro
Yea usually around this time

He’s done it before he can do it again! 🎉

33 days lol @@mrpink3630

Lucky for you. Mine never showed up
Yep…
Same here…
Too bad they didn't include purple pieces on the back of the engines, just like 1999 one. That would be awesome throwback.
Someone has already created an update on how to easily connect the two together.
on youtube?

Like how they did separate Diagon alley sets for HP.
Love your videos man, hope you’re having a great day! Keep up the great videos!
they should’ve made a box! come on lego
It would be very cool to have the whole collection of micro pod racers. I got mine and it looks great next to the diorama.
I think it would've been cool if they'd done a collectable series of many different podracers in this scale that all had some modular way to be added on to the main set.
I hope they make a whole line of these.

Using the 18+ Box art for 10+ set is CRAZY
It’s just a color lil bro
@ so? Only the best is good enough
@@BrickReporterwho cares?
Very rare LEGO set that has black packaging background, but with the WRONG age limit!
@@BrickReporterI watch your videos
Waiting to see the mocs of this integrated into one diorama with the other two.
This is one of the most interesting lego set I’ve seen in years lol
Finally: an M&R review that doesn't have any complaints about perfectly good minifigures
when i want to see something reviewed a lot of times i skip MNR because he spends half the video on minifigures and leaves out some details on the actual build. having had a variety of toys like most people i know i cant expect THAT much on a LEGO interpretation of a figure. its amazing lego can even make figures that remotely resemble their source. its a miracle they all look unique. lego you can send me some sets for this comment. not a problem ill review them too. lol.
Looks fantastic!
Finally. I hope they make Gibidi Gobidis Podracer next.
Such an awesome build, and such a shame we can’t get it in the UK!
Hahahaha that’s what yall get for being British
Buying the parts on bricklink costs around 12 to 16 dollars
@@BrickReporter the brit hate is crazy
Why didn't Lego send you the January new releases for review?

@afterburn2600 yeah, if they don't do it, we can just slightly upscale advent calendar type builds and make it happen
Barnes and Noble did that packaging last year for May 4th xwing.. Good ol lego ziploc
now we need Ody’s pod next with his pit droids
Walmart being Walmart didn’t let me get one even though I spent over the $65. Walmart was very stupid handling this GWP.
Same, it is a big issue. Flagged my email as fraud and wouldn’t let me resubmit.
can't wait for the video next week when Ryan buys another one to combine all three sets.
Still waiting on mine I hope it comes
I got the confirmation email awhile ago, now I’m hoping I actually receive this set

I wish the battle droid carrier was a easy to get as this!
What the... I keep up with Lego Star Wars on a daily basis, mostly on instagram, and I've never seen this set. Ever !

Dang, this one’s pretty neat. Really wish it came in a box :/
Make a MOC video of you joining the two podracer sets 🙏🙏
MandR can you do a video combining Gasgano’s pod racer with two of the boonta eve classic dioramas
Why did they make this a set this is so oddly specific
I guess you could swap Anakin's or Sebulba's pods for Gasgano's to change things up on the larger diorama.
Also Gasgano's pod is lackkng purple.
9.5/10
Could the set be combined with the pod race diorama set?
LEGO Star Wars: *Hello There!*
Why isn't there a complete set of all the podracers yet???
Bought the Mos Espa at Walmart.. scanned the receipt, returned Mos Espa.. weeks later got the Gasgano's Podracer for free.
I follow literally everything lego star wars and I had never heard of this, am I on
Is the Gasgano pod race gwp still on
It ended in November. But eBay is an option if you have the money. lol
Missed opportunity to make it the Ben quadinaros pod racer
I love Walmart promotions, especially when I live in a country with no Walmarts...
Just hope lego make more rouge one sets
I want all of them. I'd pay fifty dollars for each and every podracer from 'Bumpy' Roose to Pagalies to Kee. The whole lineup.
Look good
Ask mandr is there any recourse if they said our receipt was accepted but it hasn't arrived within the 30 days? Are they out of stock? I emailed the only address I could find and crickets...
Ryan why havent you been sent the new seats early. Lots of small and medium creators now have them even the entire wave,?
Cool but when is the Ben Quadrinaros full scale set coming, my hungry ass cant wait any longer
Yes give it a 10/10 why not?
There *is* nothing wrong with it, it's nice. 10/10 👍
Will this go up in value ?
Not gonna lie looking at the thumbnail I thought it was a custom set
Can I have it?
Still waiting for mine, did we enter shipping info on the claim site? I think I only filled in an email address and my uploaded scan.

I Ate vaders triangle black dorito head 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
5:09 I think it's a 9 out of 10 only because it's not a set to be bought in itself. And LEGO should *Absolutely* make the rest of the racers in scale.
Oh yeah I’d have to add it on somehow.
Damn I had no idea this existed
I mean the only negative is that it wasn’t available anywhere else but the US. Thankfully it looks easy to part together so it’s not a huge negative.
To the Lego ppl out there I have the power mech [31007] and I want to know if it has any value to it? 0:09

Is it likely for this set to appear in your whatnot shop for 50$?
No

Not free, they didn’t approve a lot of purchases and flagged/blocked email accounts when you tried to submit again.
Hi
Hello! :)
i got a confirmation email for this on 11/2 and still have not received my podracer. what a scam
👍
I don't think it's a 10/10. I feel it's missing parity between the bases (they don't aesthetically match between the full diorama and the GWP).

Ben Quadrinaros is FUMING rn
Does anyone know the best way to clean dust off lego?
The font on the printed piece is so weird looking imo
