Let's do a direct comparison of [1] "70412-1: Soldiers Fort" (2015) to [2] "6263-1: Imperial Outpost" (1995):

- Older set has a big baseplate which enables a child to start building a new structure easily

- Older set has well-pronounced architectural elements like arcs and slopes and feels like a solid structure, newer set feels airy and ad-hoc

- Older set has minifigs with a simple paint, newer set has cartoon-like characters

- Older set has a more realistic colour scheme, newer set again feels cartoonish

- Older set has a specially designed backside for playing and putting minifigs

They look like different tiers of sets the first one is like a 20$ set while the second is a 10$ one
