I bought this set about 15 years ago from Lego, 15 years later in a pristine
box, sold it and the buyer opened it to build and found a bunch of substituted
parts.

7664-1 (Inv) TIE Crawler
536 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2007
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Legends

For those who are familiar with new sealed vintage collectibles what are your
thoughts?

Can you post what alternate plate and slopes he found.
It can give us a clue to what has happen.

This was not a question about what/why lego did this. It is about vintage collectible
sealed items that are considered mint/correct when sealed and only after opening
can be proven otherwise.

I always take pictures of the seals, if applicable.
It would be the responsibility of the builder to communicate any facts, after
the fact.

That is a cool set!
