I bought the FIRST LEGO Star Wars Set EVER! 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

$6k USD for Lego? You are seriously privileged in life if you can spend that amount of money on a Lego set.

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

Well done mate you totally deserve that, also just wanted to say thanks for your channel. As an old guy just starting a collection it's been a great source of info and really inspiring 🙏🇬🇧

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.

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

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

thank you for making me look sane while buying the UCS Falcon :-) enjoy your purchase and I hope it brings a smile to your face whenever it catches your eye!

That would be a great piece to see in a lego museum, and honestly the rounded piece for the blade makes more sense than the flat one

Immensely cool; what a piece! Congrats man

The rounded lightsaber end was the first thing I noticed - Was definitely a cool bit of history there!

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

i was so impressed by the trademarks the resolution and the font looks so clean, no wonder that product aged as well as it did

Very cool piece of history! Thanks for sharing!!

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

I have one of these, exactly the same. Received it as a promo item when I worked for the Los Angeles Times entertainment section back in the 90s. Glad I hung on to it all these years.

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.

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

Wow, what an amazing piece of Lego SW history. You are incredibly fortunate to have been able to add that to your collection. Congrats!

Congrats; so cool to have the OG set!

Nice grab! The condition of that first promo set is pretty amazing!

Ryan ; Congratulations- to have the first ever promo built set - introducing what was to be a forever classic. Wow! - “most impressive” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Fun video Ryan - one of my faves of yours this year 👍

Amazing stuff man... So chuffed for you!!

Thanks for sharing this ultra-rare set!

Very cool piece to have. Awesome video. More rare please

Congrats man I'm glad you're happy with it

Congrats! Perfect collection.

It’s not just an insane amount of money to spend on Legos it’s an insane amount of money period. That amount of money would change the course of me and my families lives rn. It’s crazy to think about.

Wow! What an amazing find and from goodwill at that!

the rounded lightsaber actually broke my brain. like some kind of mandela effect! I always wondered what that would look like. awesome man

Nice win! Congrats!

To me Darth vaders matched more turned that way

That's so cool man!! Big Congrats, if anyone should have this set it's you!!!

I am the exact same way when bidding, it's intense and really gets your heart pumping. Especially when the page freezes!

I would love to see one of those ultra rare lightsaber prototypes someday. No collector ever got their hands on that part.

That's so cool man! Congrats!

Congrats on your win bro! 🤙🤙

Bro just spent 5 grand on a lego set, My respects

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

You can replace that battery for the sounds if you open the whole thing up. You'd have to be careful but it looks like it's all just folded together.

Football mini helmet display case might work well to display/protect it.

Very cool and exciting! Ryan I've got those two sets on the back of the box! You can probably replace the battery to play the music again

the rounded lightsabers were the first things I noticed! so cool.

This is really cool seeing a og Lego star wars set

So this is when the fun began

Congrats on this grail piece mate!

Congratulations! Amazing add as a collector.

The reverse sword of the figure only increases the value because it is strange and not like the other boxes!!

I've never ordered from goodwill but I've heard of it before, worth looking into by the sounds of it, btw love the channel 😎👍

Why am I excited for you? lol that’s a piece of history right there!

Looks like you're in win-win situation for you. You win because you've got the lego you're after, and win because the amount of money that you've spent going for goodwill. 👍

Man I love how you made sure to increase the bet!

The reason he’s in his Endor outfit is because this was the only return of the Jedi Luke at the time the Jedi robe one didn’t come out until 2000 in Desert skiff, 2002 in Final Duel and Jabbas Palace in 2003. I did not know this promo set existed so that’s kind of awesome to find something I’ve never seen before

I won’t lie seeing this is cool. My first Lego set was the original throne room duel with the yellow colored Emperor and Luke so this is pretty wild to see

Wow looks great, a little dusty tho, I would use a compressed air to get some of it out, Ryan :D

This is the coolest thing I've seen today

I am a huge fan of you Ryan, and I really want a video of you giving us a tour of all the lego sets you have

Congrats man 🎉🎉🎉👍

I guess these were assembled by hand and glued so that might account for misplacement of light saber and substitute part

I am still waiting for the day you buy the 10 000 Dollar Vader transformation set lol, but wow this set looks great, I did not know about it before, thanks for showing it, also I would love the old style of Lightsaber blades, I can not believe they did that as a first look and stepped back from it. Also, typical LEGO that they do not know how to put the lightsaber hilt (that they CREATED ) on right lol. Just goes to show that everyone makes mistakes, I am never going to change my mind about the right way to have it, it is to have it with the thicker part up connected to the blade

It would be cool if you could restore the sound box and wires for the set.

Congrats on a cool bid!!

Hey, I remember rounded lightsabers from some sets. My friends had a couple of them around 2001-2003 (when I was in primary school, I believe), and they looked exactly like the ones on this set.

Cool purchase. How about getting a special clear case to display it opened?

I wonder if the lightsabers are made not using the parts we see in production, but with sawn off rods from the "Antenna 4h Round Top" piece? That part did come in lightsaber colors around that time, and Lego has modified parts for promotional material in the past. They even sawed the OG UCS X-Wing in half and glued it to a mirror.

Wow, what a find!

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

The end of the lightsaber looks sooooo much better

I had spongebobs house, Bilbos Hobbit Home and The Queen Anne’s revenge and that one spider man set on the bridge with all those different spider men. And the falcon all the pieces hidden away. Absolutely devastating knowing it will be a long time till I see those sets again.

going from 2k to 5555 is such a big jump

WOW! ROUNDED LIGHTSABER TIP!

Having this Lego set is a Lego star wars fan's swag

So stoked you got it!! Congratulations man.

Imagine buying an expensive LEGO Star Wars Set that it went so insane that I was just keeping up.

You definitely should get a custom acrylic case made for it!

Congrats dude

X-wing's wings are the way they are, so they could fit it in the image of the box. Ps. GZ on the win!

wow!! that set is nice

You should try to recreate the build that’s inside

First, congrats! Second, I'm wondering if Vader's lightsaber is just a manually cut down Lego antenna (design 3957) in transparent red?

They may have made the edges of the blades round so it’s easier to glue the saber piece into the hilt

5:01 is that a 7 wonders of the world joke🤣🤣

Do like the rounded end on the lightsaber blades. Assuming one end would be rounded and one end flat because not sure rounded end would have enough clutch power to stay in the lightsaber hilt’s hole.

Crazy U would whant it delivered to U in a brief case lol 👍 😆 glad the set of gold got to you safe. Amazing. Vid Ryan .I'm not a star war freek but Yoda I love or cp30 ..another set for the mnr production.s volt 👌 great vid and glad to of fount your channle 4 so years back.

Can you take the mini figs out of the display or are the glued into place?

I almost threw a two and a half off the diving board, but landed on my face and got a bloody nose.

Man, $10k for a set? I'm lucky if I can get myself a $2-$300 set during tax time. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Awesome!!!!

I remember finding some Lego lightsabers with the round ends like those and I remember thinking that they were fake but now I am not sure what to think.

Yea definitely good condition for shop good will - you are fortunate they didn’t just put tape and a shipping label on it
