I am not sure how not having the OG box impacts the resale value of LEGO over time. I am a collector but I haven’t ever re-sold anything.
The box is half of collecting. Good boxes, like toys and Legos, have a great design aesthetic and are nice to look at. Though I am tempted to finally go through and toss some of the more misc boxes I have. Boxes that don’t look that great that had say a mug or a some other item that wasn’t completely boxed up.
So… I dunno. I don’t think I will get this set because of 1) room and 2) I usually get vehicles, not set pieces (Though I do have the Bespin carbonite chamber.)
I do want the minifig… I wonder if they changed it from the most recent Slave I kit.
I’m hind sight pissed that tossed all of the boxes for my old PC games after college.
Collecting of vintage PC games seems little weird. Apparently a lot of the time the old large format boxes are more valuable than their contents. So given that I don’t desire to have the boxes I could have sold them off for a pretty penny if I still had them. I have a lot early release versions of significant games, and some very obscure ones that had what are apparently now highly collectable boxes.

Some of the old school stuff came with some really good ephemera inside!
I still have all of my Star Wars game boxes, even if they are not all first editions or some were used and a bit beat up

I still have all the disks, manuals and pack ins. Like there’s a bag of CLOTH maps around somewheres.
