Mawhonic's Podracer[]
The downside to this set is that you have to take apart the junkyard to build ma
whonics podracer stand but you can buy parts to build another one form pick a brick on lego shop .Also mawhonic isn't included in the set, he could have been, he would be making a deal with watto to get his pod rebuilt, who knows he may be in the Character encyclopedia book or in a future podracer set.
The pod itself (when built) is very detailed, it has the flaps that move up and down when you turn (see Star Wars Episode 1 Racer and Star Wars Racer Revenge) it has a cockpit to fit a pilot (you could use watto) preferebly mawhonic but as you know he doesn't come with the set, but there are a few customs out there, check this one out: Lego Mawhonic. Mawhonic's Podracer also appears in the set Mos Espa Podrace.
