Medieval Guy Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Is there a significant difference in the investing potetial of Clone Wars sets and the Original Star Wars movie sets? I would think that there would be more people interested in the original stuff, but the Clone Wars stuff is also hugely popular. Quote

People love the Clone Troopers. Did I say, LOVE them? It seems like the Republic sets and Clone sets do resell higher. Quote
Blackjack Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 The original probably has more value, but I love the detailed printing and the look of the Clone Wars figs. I have roughly equal numbers of both and do not really have a favorate. I think its all personal preferance. Quote
cvail8 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 I think it all comes down to the individual sets. There are sets from each series that are huge winners and there are some that are better as doorstops. The early Clone Wars stuff seems to be more valuable, probably because there is more exposure now (and therefore more sets sold). Quote
Goblin scribe Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I believe it depends on which set has the most value however,the clone wars mini figs are so much more detailed.So it just depends. Quote

The first Star Wars the Clone Wars battle pack they released (8014 Clone Walker Battle Pack.) goes for about $22. That is almost double its retail price of $11.99. Quote

You probably have more adults buying OT sets for themselves, but then you have adults buying Clone Wars sets for their kids, so the potential is there for either theme. But yah, there have been a few bad apples in each group. If anything, I would think there would/should be a tapering off of demand for OT sets because most adult collectors already have the "iconic" ships/sets they want by now. Plus, the new trilogy ramping up will further push OT sets into less of a prime spot, as far as new Lego releases. Quote
Alcarin Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Well to me OT has my heart... I like some new sets (The new confederate tank droid with jango fett is a must have for me) but overall nothing beats X/Y - wings AT-ATs, Death Star, SSD, and many others And I might be biased but OT sets look better on display to me... I mean how can you compare that beautiful ATAT to that crap clone wars walker ??? Quote

But I understand, I know a lot of older SW fans who just do not accept anything past ROTJ as being "real" Star Wars. I like it all though. There are problems with the OT, just like there are issues with the PT. I read an article recently that chronicled all the plot holes of the OT we never really thought about or were concerned about as kids. Those things don't really bother me, as I just enjoy each new installment of Star Wars. Quote

Well I also enjoyed every movie thought I must say i really dislike the 1st movie because apart from Darth Maul everything else is just plain lame... I think if a set looks good it looks good, regardless of what part of trilogy it belongs. Quote
Studebricker Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Exactly. That's why I think the AT-TE looks just as cool as an AT-AT. They're both good designs, doesn't matter which movie it comes from... Quote
