Insights

Released in 2007 as a promotional Exclusive Minifigs item, Gold Chrome Plated C-3PO carries a distinctive chrome-gold finish and scarce insertion provenance, and its low supply and authentication sensitivity have supported collector interest while also producing thinner trading liquidity and higher volatility.

Set Facts

Only 10,000 C-3POs were given away.
It was packaged in a white polybag with the the text "Congratulations, you have found 1 of 10,000 Limited Edition LEGO C-3POs!"
The C-3PO minifigure itself is a pretty standard C-3PO but it is gold plated. This is a plastic minifigure covered with gold colored chrome and delivered in a white bag.

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.”
