I have a 7130, and it's among one of the few sets
I've kept in one piece. Perhaps it's just the
notion that it's star wars, and it has an excellent
design, that I kept the original model still built in
the box. I still proudly display it on my shelf.

On the contrary, sets such as the gungan sub *looked*
more like a random collection of specialized parts
thrown together to *attempt* a star wars set. Heck,
it couldn't sustain itself under water. Talk about
a cheap sub!

Yeah, finally a star wars set that actually
appealed to me. When I saw other models such as
the gungan sub, or the naboo fighter, I wasn't
really interested. The 7130 really changed my
opinion of the Star Wars line.

Simplicity is the only way to snag in customers.
Another simple set I would recommend would be the 3033
1200 bricks tub. Simple, but excellent.
