It is often difficult to get an objective idea due to a sometimes far too complacent bias towards the LEGO company and its production.
FBTB offers an original review of set 7962 Anakin's and Sebulba's Podracers . Original because it allows for a detailed comparison of this new set, one of the best of this June 2011 wave, with set 7171 Mos Espa Podrace released in 1999, which has aged remarkably well, even if the minifigures from that era are noticeably less detailed than those in set 7962.
12 years later, LEGO revisits this set, removing the Gasgano podracer in the process, and offers a significant evolution of these podracers, using new parts and improving the design of the machines.
It is therefore urgent that you go to this page: Review 7962 Anakin's and Sebulba's Podracers and enjoy this nice review (in English) enhanced with many pictures of the two sets.
