My first Starwars set was the first release of the 7150: TIE Fighter & Y-wing back in 1999 cant believe i still have all the pieces for it too lol

I am very impressed by the fact a majority bought PT sets first ;-) G I feel old X-D I was expecting more guys like me and *vader* bought a PT set first :-D

Dark ages because of OT sets Off

Same here - closely followed by every other set in the first wave.

Unfortunately not for me. 1999 was just a small step out of the dark ages. The only set I bought besides the Speederbikes was the Snowspeeder... the next set I bought was the Millenium Falcon 450? in 2005! Missed a few great sets... :-( but then I bought everything - even got my hands on the old rereleases like Y-Wing vs. Tie Fighter. :-D

still have no idea what that cart thing is 8-|

I think it was supposed to go under the fighter so you could move it, to be honest it was pointless. :-/

I'm not sure what mine was... It was either the N-1, or the Imperial Shuttle. Maybe I need to go digging through my instructions box to find the most wrinkled SW booklet yet. :-D

First Star Wars set i bought was the first X-wing fighter, a few weeks after the release. That was the first LEGO set i had bought for 15 years, and that started a very expensive abuse, still going on!

That was just so cool sitting at the table building LEGO, for the first time in many years.!

This was my first set as well and also got me out of a long dark age. :-)

Well, I remember I went in to Meijer's. I had just got my income tax refund check and was looking to spend it. I walked to the toy dept. and there they were. All 5 original sets, Landspeeder, Speeder Bikes, Snowspeeder, X-Wing, Y-Wing and Vader's TIE.

I bought one of each.

Now, which one I built first, I don't recall!

I remember well... I had been to disneyland paris a few months before, and fell in love with star wars. (age 6/7) I went to the toy shop around Easter to choose something to buy and then I saw it... Star Wars sets! I looked at the landspeeder box for 2 minutes long and looked around for other sets and there it was:

halleluja! I saw the *vader* minifig... and wanted it right away! I got it that Easter. Having only seen episode V, I didnt know what the tie advanced was, but by simply switching the wings position, you could make a simple Tie fighter, and removing the main plate, you had a tie interceptor! Very great comic too!

A few months later, my friend got a lego set, claiming he had a *vader* minifig also! I checked, and he had the smallest episode I set. I checked the folder with the set, seeing all new star wars things from a movie I didnt even know that existed yet... Not long after I purchased the same set...

Not sure. I remember buying a load of SW sets at once. (My girlfriend's* father worked at LEGO)

So the load arrived containing: 7150 Tie & Y-Wing, 7140 X-Wing, 7128 Speeder bikes, 7130 Snowspeeder & 7110 Landspeeder. At least that's how I remember it. Shortly after I got the next wave containing UCS Tie and Xwing plus the entire 2000 wave. All I'm sure of is that Morten got pretty envious, but then again who wouldn't.
