xwingyoda Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 According to BL it's called Pearl Gold. are you sure ? Was that colour ever used in parts before ? Looks way darker than the bottom of the new droideka part ;-) *yoda* Quote
ApophisV Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Looks like the dull chrome gold from the Vikinger king helmets to me... Quote
UniqueBuilder Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 (edited) are you sure ?Was that colour ever used in parts before ? Looks way darker than the bottom of the new droideka part ;-) *yoda* This minifigure (SW161 - C-3P0 - Pearl Gold (Set 10144 production error)): http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?M=sw161 Is currently labeled as a "(Set 10144 production error)" - to my knowledge, and based on LEGO's response, this was not a "production error" but simply a purposeful color substitution. ;-) Edited June 25, 2007 by UniqueBuilder Quote
xwingyoda Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Looks like the dull chrome gold from the Vikinger king helmets to me... I really don't think so !!That helmet is way lighter in color ;-) ;-) I saw the topic UB ;-) But the regular / normal C3-PO is Pearl Gold ;-) That still doesn't answer my question regarding the color of tha new C3-PO ;-) *yoda* Quote
Starwars4J Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 I almost went to buy one from BL :-D instead though, I'll just buy another sandcrawler... Those look absolutely amazing. Very nice color change *wub* I guess this is their reaction to all the people upset about not getting a chrome 3PO Quote
oo7 Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 But the regular / normal C3-PO is Pearl Gold ;-) Yes, edit: No, that's pearl light gold. I think this one is a beautiful new copper color. Like the copper speckle color, except it's not mixed in with the metallic black..... Quote
xwingyoda Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Ok there is something I don't get, will all the sets with a C3-PO will have him ? 2008 won't have any C3PO dang !! Don't tell me I have to buy another Crawler like SW4J X-D *yoda* Quote
Starwars4J Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Ok there is something I don't get, will all the sets with a C3-PO will have him ? 2008 won't have any C3PO dang !!Don't tell me I have to buy another Crawler like SW4J X-D *yoda* Look at it this way...we get more Jawas X-D Quote
Turaga of Force Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Wow, awesome news! Thanks! I am not a SW collector, (too expensive because I collect BIONICLE and City) but I love SW, and now there's a 4th 3PO I have to get this!!!! Thanks! Quote
Grand Moff Viceroy Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 i don't like this one because it will make the other c-3pos feel jealous. Quote
Piranha Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 *wub* That really is a great fig This makes me wonder,Will all the new sets have that color C3PO or only the sandcrawler? Hehe,good thing I haven't purchased the sandcrawler yet :-D Or the jabbas barge or the new Slave 1 or the ISD Why you ask? Its a simple matter of logic One day they will go on sale and I can get them at really low prices The week or so before they get the new summer sets,every lego from last year will go on sale Thats the day I pick up most of my Lego (good thing hardly anyone visits the Lego Isle here or we'd be out in like a day X-D) Piranha Quote
Siegfried Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Wow! That is nice. Shame about the $50.00 BrickLink price, but hopefully it will be in a new set soon. (The sandcrawler is too expensive for Australians.) Quote
badgerboy Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Aww Maaaannn! Not another C3PO that I'm going to get fleeced for! He looks ace, a possible alternative to the gold chrome one? I hope they keep up production of this variety and ditch the old 'toffee' coloured one! Quote
superpabz Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 Hi I got one of these C3POs in a Sandcrawler back in March - presumed they simply changed the figure. That would be too early for it to be a response to the "Golden" figures? Set was purchased from S@H. Have only started reading the forums recently, hence never mentioning it before. First post BTW.

Though for that money, I think it would be reasonable to expect a chrome gold one. Edited July 1, 2007 by lostcarpark Quote
Starwars4J Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Shame he's not in the UCS Millennium Falcon. Though for that money, I think it would be reasonable to expect a chrome gold one. Haha, yeah, it would've been nice if they gave us the chrome gold one, but as they said all future c3po would be this new color, it's likely that the UCS MF will have them Quote

BrickBob Studpants Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) I think the new C-3PO is way better than the old one. That colour is so beautiful! *wub* But the old hands look weird on the new torso... I hope TLC change that. :-/ But it's sad that there's no C-3PO in the sets from this year... I hope there will be one in one of the next year's sets. I don't want to buy a second Sandcrawler, there are other sets I want to add to my collection! X-D Edited July 1, 2007 by Lego-Freak Quote
Starwars4J Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Not in this case - 5 minifigs included: Luke, Han, Chewie, Ben and Leia. I could've sworn 3PO was in it...oh well, my mistake :-$ Quote
