Hi, everyone-- Well, I'll be the one to risk the fury of the wider LUGNET community by posting what appears to be the first "review" of 7130 (which, looking at the box, doesn't seem to have any real name at all--I tended to Kennerize it and just (...) (26 years ago, 27-Mar-99, to lugnet.reviews)

(...) My (main) problem is that this piece is bigger than it should be -- its base is 2 studs deep, plus the domed part and gun-points that stick out in front.
