Chrome Gold C3-PO pics

[xwingyoda]

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-

[sam89]

Excellent pics Yoda! Hopefully mine will come soon! :-D

[Siegfried]

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*

[Siegfried]

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. :-)

Hello,

How exactly did you get that special minifigure?

In case you wonder, yes, I live on planet Mars. ;-)

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 ;-)

[Starwars4J]

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

Oh, you mean the contest that took place here?

But was (or is) there another possibility to find in europe?

[sam89]

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.

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.

Man, these chrome 3-PO's are going like hotcakes! I'm glad I got one in my AT-ST.

[Corvus]

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* .

[Grand Moff Viceroy]

Very nice, but they should paint under the hands, hands, neck, and in the legs.

[dunamis]

Nice! Thanks for sharing. Congratulations!

[Kernow]

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!

[Piranha]

Its Beautiful *wub*

I wish I had one though *sad*

Come on Wal-mart, hurry up with those SW 2007 sets :-D

I hope I find one in the NS,AT-ST or TIE Crawler
