I think stickers don't age very well on any set... just this one has aged a lot lol! Yes, they don't age well. Below is from a set I recently purchased. Have a similar one that came with a collection I purchased awhile back - stickers are just as bad. worse tho the one I received was built once and displayed... for 10 years... in direct sunlight. it's more a desert camo colour now. :-( Quote

Might want to try that... Quote

marcandre Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Keep them out of the sun and they hold up ok. This sat on a kids shelf for 13 years until I nabbed it last week, stickers held up pretty good just a little peel at the edge. Quote
Walnutz Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Any input on the used value of a version of this set I have. The set has both boxes, color and black and white. All original materials, built only once, instructions, new sticker sheet, and all parts in excellent condition. I even have the original poly bags. Wondering how rare a set with BOTH boxes is? Thanks in advance. Quote
giannini78 Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 Gutted, I got excited by this post for a second.In the world of Star Wars Lego reissues, I just can’t understand why this hasn’t been done. 2 Quote
eliminator Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Sorry to hijack this thread, but if anyone is looking for a "sealed bags, open box" 10019 for their collection I have one for sale. PM if interested. Quote
