The Star Wars Lego set, Separatist Shuttle, model whole 8036 recreates Nute Gunray's Shuttle as seen in The Clone Wars television series chapter Mission to Rodia. In this chapter Nute Gunray flew to the planet Rodia to recruit the planet's leader and Padme Amidala's old friend Onaconda Farr. Nute hoped to trap Padme as revenge for her role in the Battle Of Naboo, where, as queen, she successfully defended her planet from Separatist Shuttle.
With 259 pieces and with a recommended retail price of .99 this may seem like a small set for the price but the exclusive minfigures go some way towards making up for the vehicle's small size. The five figures consist of two regular battle droids (both are the new arm version that allows them to hold a gun properly) and one pilot battle droid who is excellent by having a blue torso piece rather than the regular tan. Nute Gunray appears at last in a Lego set, after a decade of absence and he is a screen strict representation of his Clone Wars character. The color s and information on the torso are gorgeous and his Neimoidian features and ceremonial headpiece make him right away recognizable. The final form is another first, the Rhodian senator Onaconda Farr and again Lego have done a fantastic job with the colors and designs on this figure.
Lego Life
The vehicle itself is fairly small and simple. As a shuttle there are not many weapons or play features that would highlight on a starfighter of similar size. Instead there is an opening at the back which converts to a ramp for Nute to exit the vehicle and an opening cockpit for the pilot droid to sit. The legs of the ship lower and raise manually and the creepy spider-look makes for a nice effect.
Overall a small set that will appeal to fans and collectors more than casual fans, but the former will be drawn by the first appearance of a long awaited villain.
