For collectors only. — “10,000 of these were randomly included in star wars sets in 2007 as part of the 30th anniversary of star wars. It comes in a white poly bag with these details on it. The minifig is the usual minifig - 3 parts of the head, torso and legs, but the chrome gold plating and... More rarity has made it unique.”

Brick Fanatics
“In 2007 the LEGO Group randomly inserted 10,000 4521221 Chrome Gold C-3PO minifigures into 30th anniversary LEGO Star Wars sets. These editions were hard to find but do pop up on the secondary market from time-to-time. In addition, 100 rarer Chrome Gold C-3PO minifigures... More were produced in special packaging as part of a promotional giveaway in the same year. This version included a printed backing card and congratulatory winner’s letter and are much harder to find.”
