So, EARL_0, this is why you got a Golden Threepio?!

So, we finally get to see a gold one, huh?

Wonder what it’s worth….

I always wanted to do that, except with a regular C-3PO and a crown. But this is so much better….

Paleo, I think this is just one of the “chrome-gold” ones, not real gold; but it still must be worth a bit, as there will only be 10,000.

Either this is fake, or the following ebay auction is fake

I hope the one pictured is real because I am disappointed by the photos in the auction.

They’re both real. The gold-chrome C-3PO is a special prize in a limited number of sets being released this summer, to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Star Wars. Extremely rare.

That one being auctioned on eBay is the pearl-gold version in the new Sandcrawler set. Only “rare” in the sense that it’s in a fairly expensive set — but it’s in every one of those sets.
