Star Wars licensing is really expensive and an ongoing cost. As well you look at the design work that goes into it, its insane.
I would love to buy the Star Destroyer, but the cheap me won't spend that kind of cash.
In the old days (yeah I went there) we just bought buckets of random pieces and we would build whatever we wanted. One week it would be a tie fighter or Star Destroyer (not near as nice as the kits) the next week we'd build a town, one day me and my cousin figured out how to build laser guns with holsters.
My favorite toys growing up, no question were Lego and Mechano (whatever happened to that?)
I remember getting the military set, you could build a tank or a howitzer or a self propelled artillary piece and it came with a spring loaded gun barrel that would shoot a little white bullet like 30 yards.
