xwingyoda Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Ok my Padawans, I received my precious Chrome Gold C3-PO this morning so I decided to share a few pics with you ;-) I was really excited when I opened my enveloppe 8- Quote
sam89 Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Excellent pics Yoda! Hopefully mine will come soon! :-D Quote
Siegfried Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Thanks for the (very well taken) pictures. Do the arms, wrists and legs move normally? Do the legs come off? Quote
xwingyoda Posted July 24, 2007 Author Posted July 24, 2007 Thanks for the (very well taken) pictures. Do the arms, wrists and legs move normally? Do the legs come off? Yes to all :-D Its a regular fig you know :-P The only difference is that the fig is coated in chrome gold (sorry for not knowing the proper name there) Apart from that, its a normal fig ;-) *yoda* Quote
Siegfried Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Its a regular fig you know :-P I just thought that they may have chromed the joints over. Wow. *wub* Shame that I am in Australia and don't want it enough to pay the price to buy one on eBay! :'-( Thanks for sharing. :-) Quote
BaronSat Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Hello, How exactly did you get that special minifigure? In case you wonder, yes, I live on planet Mars. ;-) Eric Quote
sam89 Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 They were given away in a competition for Europeans. You had to build a vignette with C-3PO in it, and several golden C-3POs were raffled off ;-) Quote
Starwars4J Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Great review! I never would've thought that's how they chromed it...they even used a normal 3PO to do it, and not just any blank fig Thanks for taking the pics, even though to me it's like holding candy in front of a starving child :'-( :-P Quote

But was (or is) there another possibility to find in europe? Quote
sam89 Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 No, the contest was on http://www.Belug.be. There's no other way to get the figure in Europe. It's given away in random Star Wars sets in the US and Canada. Quote

It's given away in random Star Wars sets in the US and Canada. Thanks for the detail. And you confirm what I thought I understood by reading some news here... too bad, that figure is beautifull. Thanks for the pics. Edited July 24, 2007 by BaronSat Quote

Lt. Col. Thok Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Man, these chrome 3-PO's are going like hotcakes! I'm glad I got one in my AT-ST. Quote
Corvus Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 I think I have passed the safe point of jealously... To all who have the fig... You're all to lucky! Congratulations! *sing* Anyway, thanks for making that review, *yoda* . Quote
Grand Moff Viceroy Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Very nice, but they should paint under the hands, hands, neck, and in the legs. Quote
Kernow Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Nice pictures. Just make me even more disappointed I wasn't a winner in the comp. At least a few deserving people got it! *yoda* :-D Just don't rub it in too much! Quote

Grand Moff Viceroy Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 how do people outside of the US get C-3pos? Just curious. Quote
mutley777 Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 how do people outside of the US get C-3pos? Just curious. They won them in a competion set up by lego and held on 1000steine.de i think. On another note i just won one on ebay for a reasonable price *y* :'-) *wub* . Quote
