It's not possible to answer your question because the term "old" is a
subjective term -- entirely dependent upon your frame of reference. To you
maybe ten years ago is old, to me it might mean something from before I was

What you should do is focus on dates (the year a Lego set was in production).
Just ask people when a set was made or look it up on Brickshelf or something.
Then you will know exactly how old "old" actually turns out to be.
