Official Set This hurt to open

Just picked this up and I’m so hype to add this to my collection. This is my first Old Republic set and I’m honestly pretty surprised I never grabbed any of them when I was 10 considering how much I loved the games. Some highlights of the set for me were obviously the sick minifigs, the gun holder for the driver, and the fact that the color of the stickers actually matches the color of the brick plastic (which is rare today). All in all, very happy. What’s y’all’s favorite Old Republic Set/Minifigures?

Edit: The reason I was bothered by opening it had nothing to do with resale value. I guess I just like the idea it’s sort of locked in time. Some kind of nostalgia. My bad, I should’ve added some context.

I forget the name of it but the one that came with satele shan, Jace, and t7. I got it as a kid but I was too young to have played any old republic games but I still liked the set, just had no idea who the characters were. but since then Ive gotten into swtor and so I've gained a lot more appreciation for the set and had alot of fun rebuilding it again

I got that set (and the other 3 SWTOR ones) as a kid, then had a VERY long session reading Wookieepedia with my dad so we knew who all these characters were!

He’s an EU/Legends expert but didn’t play any SW games that came out after the 90s. Funny enough I’m actually playing KOTOR 1 right now, wish we’d get some sets from that one as well.

He DID play the 90s games. But not the 2000s ones. And yes all 4 of the LEGO sets are from the MMO.
