>>6807423>Take off your nostalgia gogglesThat's the thing though, I really have no nostalgia for earlier sets since the first ones I got were around the Revenge of the Sith era when there were already enough intricate parts to make them look at least somewhat modern. I'm interested in these older sets because the simpler blocky aesthetic is actually growing on me for some reason.
>>6807425>I would always recommend parting out a set first to see how much that would be if you are about to pay way more than it's clearly worthThat's actually a pretty good point, though Lego isn't my main focus when it comes to /toy/ and therefore there really aren't any sets around that I feel like selling.
>pay way more than it's clearly worthWhy, can I get a substantially cheaper one somewhere? BrickLink has some sightly cheaper ones in similar conditioned on the ~ 25- 30 € mark but they're all outside my county and I'm afraid the shipping rates aren't going to be too different from picking this one up locally.
>>6807495Like
>>6807496 and
>>6807521 said, they seem to be neat in the historical context, like the 1970s Kenner figures or the G1 Transformers toys. Sure, the designs are outdated for modern standards and would probably stick out like a sore thumb next to more recent sets, but there's a lovely charm to them as far as collectibles go and I'm betting they will look really nice as cozy display pieces either on my desk or in a bookshelf.
desu, the one classic Lego Star Wars ship that really has been fascinating me on an aesthetic level is pic related, I was just considering the Slave I because the seller is a short drive away from me and therefore it would be the easiest way to crave my urgent desire for a vintage set - though, if the price ain't worth it then I might as well just save up a little and go for an imported X-Wing then.
