The quality of the toys now is junk compared to the toys in the 70's/80's.


As someone with a Star Wars collection with thousands of pieces... this is flat out false. This may have been true between 1995 and 2007, but the stuff put out between 2007 and now is fantastic.

The base figures aimed at kids are of similar articulation as the vintage figures, but have much better sculpts, more detailed accessories, and cool features like the Force Link.

The higher end figures in the Legacy Collection, Vintage Collection, and Black Series have better articulation, better accessories, and are better constructed.

The modern vehicles blow the vintage ones away. The Legacy Collection Millennium Falcon is probably the greatest toy ever made. My sons both loved it. The one area where vintage is clearly superior is playsets, which modern shelving does not really allow for.
