KimT Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 Mine arrived in the mail today. And I must admit that it's a thing of beauty It's as wonderful as it is ugly. The chrome looks... ... ... well, just odd somehow, but it adds that special thing that makes it all add up. I contemplated wether to open the polybag or not and in the end it all came down to this: Pro: If I open the bag, I can pet it and look with my fingers Con: If I open the bag, then it wont be MISB and the collecting value is "broken" After 2 or 3 seconds of speculation, I carefully opened the side of the polybag with a scissor. Thinking: "How hard can it be to get another one to keep MISB?" Thanks to you who sent it to me Quote
KimT Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 Do you mind if I ask where you got this?Did you have it send from Sweden or did you find it at a store in Denmark? I suppose you had it send from Sweden, but I think its worth asking. Yes the stamps on the letters are Swedish. Does that answer suffice? So no sadly I didn't find this in Denmark. Quote

Thinking: "How hard can it be to get another one to keep MISB?" Thanks to you who sent it to me I got 2 for free! I opened one of them for a cool display that I´ve planned, but for that I also need the chrome gold C-3PO. So I put the other one on BL for $120 thinking that if I get it sold, I´ll buy one of those. When I checked, about an hour ago, someone had already bought it! I´ll take some pics of the display and put them in a topic here after that I´ve finished it. Quote
LEGOscum Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Shoot, if you wanted a chrome 3PO that badly I'd have traded. I have some spare. Edited December 16, 2008 by LEGOscum Quote

Dennimator Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Shoot, if you wanted a chrome 3PO that badly I'd have traded. I have some spare. Do you want to trade it for something else/sell it? (I´ll send this to you in a PM too.) Quote
Ronan Nissen Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Shoot, if you wanted a chrome 3PO that badly I'd have traded. I have some spare. Spare chrome c-3po's! My God what I'd give to get one of those except I have nothing close that is equal value. Quote
General Magma Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Will this be in the Netherlands too? Quote
The Crazy One Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Ahh, I've got one, it is a must have edition, and it is seriously , seriously shiny! I just recieved it as a pressie from my aunt and it came with the model. I am so happy, but the golden C-3p0 is still on my wishlist. I'm willing for trades with the C-3po, i'll try and equal the price though Ebay is my number one place for rare items! Legoscum, how many have you spare, i'll try and equal your price!

LEGOscum Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Will this be in the Netherlands too? As the earlier posts in this thread indicate it is not known what European countries (with the exception of Sweden) will receive these promotional exclusives.

The Rancor Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Sweet! Although I'm probably not gonna buy more than one of the sets which are bigger than battlepacks! Edited December 17, 2008 by The Rancor Quote
ReZourceman Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I'm in the UK, and just bought Vaders TIE from LEGO shop in Milton Keynes.....and NO chrome Vader. :( Was actually part of the reason I bought the set. Quote

Then I'd suggest that you reread the topic or just read the entire topic. The Chrome Vader came in a separate polybag as a promotional. Quote

CopMike Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Not necessarily, another guy found one in the AAT.Yes, and he lives in the USA! So I wouldn´t put my hope up so much .Steve Witt, TLC: The Chrome black Darth Vader is going to be randomly inserted in 2009 sets in the US just like the chrome gold c-3po was in 2007. this means it won't be in battle packs or retail exclusives (including shop@home, target, wal-mart, etc.). There will be around 10,000 just like last time and it will be a luck of the draw thing, just like last time. EDIT - check this out: mrCool CopMike Quote
