Natman8000 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 It is a bit gimmicky that they made a chrome vader. He is really shiny though. Look, if it sells more sets, than what the heck? Why not? Quote
user Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) I would prefer the Threepio. It would make more sense to have since C-3P0 is pretty shiny in the movies, but Vader isn't all that shiny. In fact, his suit looks like it's made out of plastic in the movies, so it makes sense to have a plastic Vader. Besides, the Threepio fig is older and more valuable than the Vader, and there is still a chance that Vader could come out of one of the sets I will purchase this year. It sounds to me like you really want that 3po and I can't blame you it's awesome! I have seen both the real c3po and real vader costumes used in the movies and darth vader was'nt very shiny so I'd go with 3po. I hope they make more chrome minifigs like a super battle droid or a JAWA! Edited March 13, 2009 by computerbug Quote
CloneMe Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 C-3PO simply because you cant find him anymore and because your still got the possibility of getting the vader. And 3PO costs more. Quote
RileyC Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Id go for the chrome C3PO because hes actually knida chrome in ROTS which is cool. And it looks a lot better than the chrome vader. He's not meant to be chrome!!! Quote
pr0visorak Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I voted Threepio simpy because he looks better when he is shinier than vader. Quote
baby Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 It's hard to tell though, as you can see the shining armor of Darth Vader in Episode 3. But I think C3PO is better as it was really chrome in the movie. Quote
soc399 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I voted for chrome Vader. I know Threepio is more movie accurate, but Vader is so much cooler. Plus, I still have a chance to find a chrome Vader. Quote
Bounty Hunter Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Gold OWNS metalic any day! I would say 3PO. Well duh because of my opening statement! Quote
Legoking Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I would have to say chrome c-3po because I have him, but not chrome Darth Vader. But I think chrome c-3po looks better than chrome Darth Vader by far. Quote
Millacol88 Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I would say Chrome c-3po is better. It's more movie-accurate. And theres no chance of finding one in a set. EDIT: Missed KimT's post on merging. Quote

What if you found him in an old set that a local store had . I chose C-3PO just because I think the minifig generally just looks better. Quote

I didn't think of that. It' incredibly unlikely, but if it did happen, it'd be amazing. I guess it's possible, considering the amount of old, MISB sets that get sold on BL and ebay. Quote
Filip Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Am I blind or what? I can't seem to find the contest and I would really like to at least try to get my hands on either od those figs! Quote
The Who Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Am I blind or what? I can't seem to find the contest and I would really like to at least try to get my hands on either od those figs! The only contest going on is in the Watto's Junkyard thread, and neither one of those figs are the prizes. This thread is just about which you like better. And I like 3-PO. Quote
Filip Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 The only contest going on is in the Watto's Junkyard thread, and neither one of those figs are the prizes. There is an awesome contest over at (the new & improved) FBTB where the Second Prize winner has the choice of either a Chrome Vader or a Chrome Threepio Quote
The Who Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 If you knew that already, why did you even bother to post the first time? And this is Eurobricks, not FBTB. Quote
Filip Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I know that this is Eurobricks and not FBTB, but I still want to know where to find the contest. Quote
KimT Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I know that this is Eurobricks and not FBTB, but I still want to know where to find the contest. Try FBTB I really have no idea where on FBTB the contest is. I guess you need to do some searching there - maybe it's a little late to enter if you're not a member already. (which I guess you're not since you're asking about the contest here) Quote
