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.
well, there are 10,000 gold PLATED C-3POs but only one in solid gold.

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.

Damn, I need one of these now…
If I had one, I don’t know what I’d do with it… Sell it, save it, or use if like this…
