I have the 3rd Edition Warhammer 40k starter box, and the Battlefleet Gothic starter box.

I unfortunately got rid of the Dark Eldar from the 3rd Ed. box though. The models were bad, but they were the first models I ever painted. I learned my lesson though, and won't be doing that again. I will say though, if there were any painted models I had to part with, I'm glad it was the Dark Eldar and not some of my other stuff.

I have Assault on Black Reach. I absolutely loath the Space Marines in the set, they are awefull moulded. I mainly bought it for some cheap minis to start off with, but more importantly, I bought it for the rulebook.

I used Macragge to start off a Space Marine army and then traded the Gaunts and Stealers for a Wraithlord for my Eldar. I also kept a few for display; one of the stealers is impaled on my Dread's power drill.

Oh wait. Does Doom Count? I didn't think it counted because it's more like a full game than a starter set... Should I change my vote? How do I do that?

3rd ed 40k, 4th ed (macragge) No longer have the marines though. Got rid of them. I prefer RT monopose models to current clip togethers.
My spacehulk is v1.0 (not the current v3).

I never bought 2nd ed 40k, and have never bought a fantasy starter box.

3 AoBR, it's been a pain converting them so they don't look the same, heavy bolters here, lascannons there, a book to make a libby and stuck a captain in term armour, lightning claws and TH for the terms >< still good though

Does 3rd edition count? If it does, that means that I've bought two, but only still own one of them. I have a set of orc and imperial buildings for Epic, I just can't remember if I bought the box, or if one of my friends did.

I'm losing my memory... :(
