Description

Gold is the story

Metallic gold is listed as one of the four main colours, alongside black, light grey and dark grey, and it is what makes this figure instantly recognisable as C-3PO. It is also the key to buying a used copy. Metallic gold was rarely used in Technic, so those parts are the hardest to replace, and their finish shows scratches and wear more clearly than plain colours. Check them first in any listing, then work through the rest of the inventory, which is made up largely of common grey and black elements.

The droid and the series

C-3PO, the anxious protocol droid, appears across the Skywalker saga and is one of the most familiar characters in Star Wars. In 2001 he joined a series of large buildable figures made from Technic parts, which also included the battle droid and the stormtrooper. Building a character is quite different from building a vehicle: body, arms, legs and head come together as separate sections before being joined. The result is a figure meant for display, and it looks best next to others from the same series.

A lean inventory

The 339 pieces are spread over just 62 part types, averaging more than five of each. That is a fairly compact selection for a Technic figure, and it keeps checking a second-hand set manageable. The parts list on this page shows every element with its colour and quantity, so you can tick them off one by one. Many of the pins and beams are shared with other figures in the series, which helps if you are rebuilding more than one of them at once.

Using what you already have

If you own other Technic figures from the early 2000s, the What can I build? feature on this page compares your collection with C-3PO and lists any missing parts. In many cases the gold pieces are the only ones you will need to hunt down, while the standard grey and black elements are already in your boxes. The parts list on this page gives the colour and quantity for each missing item, which makes ordering replacements straightforward, and any spare pieces left over can go straight back into your boxes for other projects.
