So my LEGO santa actually reached out to me before sending this one, since it was determined a 'risky' gift. He said he could either just send it secretly like normal, or I could opt to confirm/deny my interest because theres a chance I might hate it. I opted to slightly spoil my own surprise to be safe, and heard it was the Gungan Sub from Episode 1. I had put in my interests that I liked Star Wars, but he understood that Episode I, and especially the character of Jar Jar Binks, could be extremely hit or miss. I replied letting him know that when it comes to LEGO, I enjoy the whole series, and slightly rambled about how awesome I think the Darth Jar Jar theory is. (If you haven't heard, you can check it out HERE, or alternatively watch THIS video)

So upon receiving this gift, I think I've got a pretty good idea of what it is, but unbeknownst to me, my santa still had a surprise in store. Inside the box were not only all the pieces to build the Gungan Sub, but in a separate container was a Jar Jar figure in a black cloak and a red lightsaber (and a handcrafted hood to top it off). I immediately burst out laughing, and now have a new favorite minifig to go with a ridiculously cool addition to my LEGO Star Wars collection. Thank you!!!
