If you have any doubts/reservations, keep them.

I like the metal ones a lot better, but would be concerned with letting others play with them. WOTC minis are probably best for that.

Sure, you'll free up some cash if you sell them, but replacing them may be more costly, difficult, or even impossible later, if you change your mind.

They only way I'd consider selling them would be if I really, really, was no longer interested in SW gaming, and/or if I needed the cash for something I was much more interested in, instead.

Keep 'em! Get an offsite storage unit and some nice storage shelves and boxes. If that's too expensive, get a better job! If your new job pays well enough, buy a bigger house, with a two- or three-car garage that you can turn into your painting/gaming/storage room.

Your 7-year-old will someday be a dextrous young adult, who will appreciate and take care of the fine metal ships.

Ditch'em and get armada ships.

If you really need the money – sell.
If you really need the space – sell.
Anything else – keep.
Be very, very certain that the word 'really' is accurate in the first two cases.

Sell them and then 10 years from now buy them back. :-) IMO the Star Wars Armada figures are nicer any way.

I'd hang on to them unless space is at a premium.

If you're worried about the kid, put them on your computer desk for decoration for a year or two, until he's a bit older.

If you doubt, then keep. I've regretted many trades/sales.

"also trying to be practical." "Star Wars spaceships…"

Sorry, just doesn't compute.
