I bought the FIRST LEGO Star Wars Set EVER!

To introduce LEGO Star Wars sets in 1999, LEGO invited some folks to Toy Fair with what is the first ever LEGO Star Wars "set"! It's a small box with the Death Star Final Duel depicted inside. Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader. The set has a few small quirks too...

This shit wasn't in the lego starwars visual dictionary, forshame

[Nerdtendo]

Imagine getting this back in the day and then being able to sell it for huge amounts of money and giving it away to goodwill

The light saber hilt for Vader is in the correct position for how they originally intended it. LEGO made the two different ends to the hilts with the thought in mind that one side could be Jedi & one side could be Sith. It just depended on the character but that definitely was the original intent & why they gave the hilts two different ends. The fans seems to think that they all have to be one way but it’s not what the original designers intended. I know for sure having been a designer that worked on both brands. They wanted the consumer to be able to choose which end looked closer to the original character for themselves. That’s why to this day they still have the two options. Great video Ryan. 👍

Some random obscure LEGO Star Wars item: *exists*

Ryan to his wallet: "I’m sorry little one"

The first thing I noticed was the lightsaber blades were rounded off and not flat like the ones we have today. I honestly like how they look in the promotional set

[Moonwake]

I mean, these big buys are also allowing the average person like me to see some of these sets that we probably would never have, thanks Ryan

[ewan.cartwright]

My guess is the lightsaber blades are rounded because they didn’t have a mould ready for a 4L bar, so they just cut the bases off some antenna pieces

This is a classic, very unknown I'm glad you purchased it!

[miqvPL]

I saw that set on store's display as a kid. And considering how poorly those stores treated promotional material, especially toys, I imagine several of those being thrown out

[stephenreuwer]

Glad to see this didn't get lost in shipping! I was wondering when this would be put up! Nice video.

[jeremykopatz]

I would hate being the person that donated this to Goodwill, not having a clue it was worth that much. Ouch! Very cool video!

[fritz]

Ryan after buying this at goodwil: "Credits will do fine"

[OTHDogDad]

I had a feeling it was you who outbid me.

This is the third time you’ve outbid me or later bought something really rare that I didn’t buy! (The two others were the Darth Vader/M&M mural and the white Boba art book).

I stopped short with my bid on this one because I was concerned about the condition. I would have bid more if they had pictures as good what you’ve shown.

Fair play. Enjoy.

[Kenopolis]

I was wondering who won that. I wanted to bid, but it went WAY over my price range really quickly. Congratulations, and I'm glad that you made this video for others to see this rare item.

What an awesome piece for your collection! Very jealous! 😅

[MrAumbra]

You should carefully remove the set and replace the battery. might need a soldering tool but it would be super cool to hear it

[madmikefollower]

Vadar’s Saber is the correct way up like his design

[overlordelektro]

No matter the enemy, No matter the fire power, you control the battle!!!

[tridentsilver]

That is something that looks like it so worth it. Getting that must be an amazing moment in your collecting career

I remember when Caesar one day told his mother that he would either come home a high priest (correct me if I'm wrong) or not come home at all (Due to his large debts he would be exiled). You dear sir, are the Caesar of Lego Star Wars
