Attention Lego fans and Star Wars nerds: Lego is launching a figure of the protocol droid C-3PO.
You can currently find over 550 Star Wars sets from Lego on Galaxus. You might think that one more is all you need. But I think: far from it. Because fan favourite R2-D2 finally has his best friend at his side: C-3PO. With 1138 pieces and a price tag of 159 francs or 139.99 euros, the set will be officially released on 1 August 2024. It is designed for adults aged 18 and over and includes an exclusive minifigure in addition to the buildable C-3PO figure.
The droid can take several poses
The C-3PO set is 38 centimetres tall when assembled. The chest cables are represented by stickers, while the mouth and nameplate are printed. A special feature is the droid's rotating head. You can also move the arms at the shoulder joints and elbows, which allows for different poses.

C-3PO is compatible with other figures
The C-3PO figure adds one of the most iconic and popular protagonists to the Star Wars figure range. Together with R2-D2 and Chewbacca, the iconic droid looks great in any collection. Another nice detail is the printed brick for the 25th anniversary of Lego Star Wars, which emphasises the collector's value of this set.

Does the figure have the wrong colour?
The new C-3PO set will appeal to many collectors and fans, especially with the exclusive minifigure included. However, the decision to use Pearl Gold instead of Metallic Gold for the stones of the outer shell could leave some fans disappointed. This is because it makes C-3PO much less shiny than in the films. When I asked Lego, they have not yet explained why they chose this colour. As soon as I have an answer, I'll add it here.

All in all, the set is a suitable addition to any Star Wars collection and will probably find a place in many private displays. Personally, I will definitely get the figure and provide you with more details about C-3PO and his colour in a review as soon as possible.
