Bricks Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) Well it's improbable that someone have one of these items. But well maybe I have luck. So if you would sell on of these send me a personal message or if you know someone, who could sell them, too. And this isn't a joke, it's real and I'm in search of such rare Star Wars things: -Clone Building Event(MISB besides box): -Celebration IV Promotional: -501st German Garrison figures (need all versions): -Red Vader helmet: -Mr.Impossible solid gold C-3PO: I'm happy if you could send me a message or post a reply if you have one of these/or know someone who have them...

Captain Green Hair Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Have you checked BL yet? I know there are chrome gold 3PO's on there.
Legoman Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 -Mr.Impossible solid gold C-3PO: Are you serious man?! Those things are valued at $14,000US, let along the rarity. Good luck...
Captain Green Hair Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Are you serious man?!Those things are valued at $14,000US, let along the rarity. Good luck... The cheapest new one on BL is 109,99$. http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=17&...mp;searchSort=P Are you serious?
Legoman Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 If you re-read it, you might notice he said SOLID gold. Only 5 of these were made. Where as 10,000 were made of the chrome one were made
natelite Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 [/lurk] you are both WRONG. TLC made 5 14k gold c3pos, which means gold PLATED. solid gold is 24k gold. so the thread originator won't be able to find a solid gold c3po unless he send a template to a goldsmith and ask for a customized solid gold c3po. with gold at $970/oz, a solid gold c3po is worth in the $5k or so to make alone. good luck! [lurk]
Captain Green Hair Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Aaaaah ok, i didn't know there was a gold plated one as well, sorry! I'd like one of those chrome gold ones though.

[lurk] Really? Wow... I never knew that! I would have though if it were gold plated they would have said so
natelite Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Really? Wow... I never knew that! I would have though if it were gold plated they would have said so [/lurk] i did a little bit of googling...i was also wrong. 14k gold means the gold content is lower than 70% and it has been mixed with another metal (typically copper) to form a stronger alloy. pure gold is very soft (not soft as in that you can bend it with your hands but soft enough to dent or scratch easily...like normal lego. ) so i guess it is solid gold. just not solid PURE gold. okay, i guess that little bit of puzzle is cleared up. legoman is the winner.
Legoman Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 okay, i guess that little bit of puzzle is cleared up. legoman is the winner. Really? Oh yay! Whats the prize? Lego?
Bricks Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Okay thanks for clearing that up! I mean the 14k gold one, well if someone have an 24k gold one he could inform me, too And yes my topic is serious, and I don't search the 1 of 10'000 C3PO, because I have already one... Greetings 'Bricks'
Legoman Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 How much would you pay for it? I don't have one, but I'm intrested to know if you would seriously pay $10,000+ on a lego fig
pr0visorak Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Bricks how much are you willing to spend because I can tell you people are willing to pay like more than one hundred doolars for each thing that you pointed out.
natelite Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 to provisorak, i dont think you need to worry about bricks. he has a BL shop with lots of rare parts, mfs and sets after all. he can easily afford most on his list. except for the solid 14k gold c3po. that is coming out of his paycheck! i still believe it is cheaper to get a goldsmith to custom make one and in higher karat.

Sorry, that I must disappoint you. It's not my BL-Shop. But the fact is right, that I have a lot of great stuff (like 3 MISB Chrome Vader's). Greetings 'Bricks'

LegoJoe Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I was looking around on Ebay and found the Celebration IV promo. http://cgi.ebay.com/LEGO-STAR-WARS-PROMO-T...1QQcmdZViewItem
ILikePi Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Hmm..I never even knew of a "Celebration IV" promotional until now. Thanks for providing that picture to expand my LEGO Star Wars knowledge Bricks!
pr0visorak Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Great job finding it! I am definetly not going to buy that! Its not worth it.
Bricks Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!But... But how? How'd you get them (3? far out man) Woah 3... How many sets did you buy? I bought: 0,00 sets I get 2 as an present and on was from bricklink. So I know that I could be a lucky guy. Topic: I'm also interested in this item: 'Bricks' Edited March 1, 2009 by Bricks

Greetings 'Bricks' I didnt care to read the whole interview,but clearly,the C3POs are 24karat. Steve Witt is an Lego employee after all,he should know it. Behead me if Im wrong
