This is the first X-Wing ever produced by LEGO. I have never taken it apart. With R2-D2 and Luke Skywalker. (Got to tell you, there is a little yellowing on R2, especially on the backside.)

My sister “accidentally” knocked my entire Lego collection off a bookshelf one day she was pissy. I kept getting told it was an accident, and I need to let it go as a teen. it’s been 20 years and I still remember her goddamn smirk when she did it.
This was my favorite set, even if it was simple by comparison to the others.
I never managed to get everything back together and it killed my enjoyment for many years. Several pieces seemed to just disappear.
I now have a few star wars sets, but someday I want to get the UCS TIE, X-wing, and LAAT, and venator. And since I absolutely don’t have the money for any of those, I’ll end up paying a insane amount if I actually get one.
Nostalgia trip, here I come.
Holy shit! It sounds like you’ve got a terrible sister!!
As to your other problem, I’d recommend looking into bricklink for any pieces and, as far as I know, used sets. Now, if you can build those sets but not need anything that identifies it as that set, then the prices decreases.
As a teenager she absolutely was terrible, but (Un)surprisingly when she graduated, started hanging out with different (and more mature) people, she chilled the fuck out.
