... If you want sturdy but fairly accurate, try Set 9493.

Or glue (if you don't ever plan to take it apart again)

Blasphemy!

I totally agree, and in a way I'm sad that all the new Lego lines seem to discourage the kind of play we had as kids (I'd build the police car or whatever but soon after the pieces would all end up in my lego bucket so I could build other things). I don't think kids do that with their star wars legos or their harry potter legos or whatever. So philosophically I agree but practically speaking if someone puts that much time money and effort into building an xwing and they want to handle it they're probably not going to take it apart.
