Hmmm...they're all good, but I suggest either the Naboo Swamp or the Droid
Fighter.  Both have excellent parts, and great "playability" value to them.
There's nothing more fun than swooshing a STAP around, or transforming the
Droid Fighter from a flight craft to a walker.  It looks cooler as the walker,
IMO.  And the Naboo Swamp gives you the two 1x2 tan plates; a piece I wish was
around a little more often.  My 2 cents.

Today I have an urge to go out and buy a small Star Wars set. If liscencing is the way Lego is going, it would be best to accept and appreciate it. Something along the lines of a 7110 Landspeeder, a 7128 Speeder Bikes, a 7121 Naboo Swamp or a 7115 (...) (26 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)
