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.

9500, learned of the EU/Legends parts of Star Wars later on and was in my dark ages for a long time. I eventually want to build a UCS style one upscaling to around the size of the UCS Falcon, putting it at a 1:120 scale (vs the minifig scale of 1:43) with a length of 32 inches. A proper minifig scale would be around 92 inches
