There's no excuse for this one. With the Statue of Liberty, it only had one piece and even the fans couldn't fix it. This could've got one printed tile that would've nailed the eyes
They just need to not be the studs with holes. I think even if they were the solid studs it would look so much better.
The last thing we need are more custom molded pieces.
Wow. Guess I’m the only only one whose socks got blown off by the awesomeness of this.
I too saw the thickness, but insta-dismissed that as a real complaint.
I miss my Technic C-3P0 (8007) which exploded when you hit his center “button”. This one’s definitely scratching that nostalgic itch, but that price? Oof. 😮💨
I have the big R2 because it looks good with BB-8 and Wall-E. Now this is making me want to get rid of those two and swap them with the smaller R2 and this. I like BB-8 but I've gone off the sequel trilogy and these 2 together are more iconic
That’s my question as well. I have both of the UCS R2’s, but I’m sure they’re both much to large to be in scale. Not that I need another big R2, but the pair is so iconic! Plus I really want that Malek.
And yet Lego can't do more than one Architecture set a year at this point anymore, it's be nice if they released something that wasn't Marvel or Star Wars.
I see they've at least partially learned their lesson from the shell-shocked, mangled disaster that was Chewbacca. =P Those eyes will haunt us forever.
Could do without the silver leg though tbh, offsets the design for no obvious reason or benefit. At least it's a simple construction, easy enough to source replacement parts for that one bit of anatomy.
Why not the silver leg? That's how he appeared originally and it's his most iconic look.
Also I'd say the eyes are still not great. A printed tile would've been much better
It's visually offputting, breaks the aesthetic cohesion of the design - and it's clear from many other comments around the net that I'm not alone in that sentiment. ;)
The eyes definitely still need work, that dish element certainly doesn't do justice to the original illuminated circle grills he had.

Thick legs!
Looks chubby in general, and I’m not a fan of the face.
I think that’s because he’s supposed to look like he’s got his back arched
Congrats! You solved the puzzle. The C in C-3PO is for “Chubby”
C-3XL
Im the opposite i am pleasantly surprised at how good this set looks!
Didnt skip leg day after tatooine.
Thicc thighs save lives!
I hate the eyes, love the model.
Yeah it seems like they can’t nail eyes on the big scaled models
Except for the Tuxedo Cat. Those eyes are *P U R R F E C T I O N*.
They are printed pieces... So that is a bit like cheating.
I really wanna see what they look like without the 1x1s. The dishes alone might be nice.

Is it a call-back to the technic version from early 2000s?
That’s what it instantly reminded me of
I'm ok with the eyes but i hate the mouthpiece
C-3P0 has seen some things.
Should have been a unique molded piece tbh.

C-3PO also ain't exactly as skinny as a battle droid. I think the thickness makes it look more like Anthony Daniels' suit
BBL C-3PO
Surprised they didnt add an extra gold leg and red arm for another $40.
We wouldn't recognise him then. Seriously though I'm glad they didn't do that. They have a tendency to include extra crap and bump up the price
They should have added the naked look in the phantom menace, too, for another 50, as well as the attack of the clones silver look for yet another 100
He got that CAKE
I hate stickers and feel they are such a cheap copout to adding a huge amount of quality in sets like this.
100% they make sets instantly look cheap to me too. Mostly because of the difference in reflections compared to bricks
Don’t ask me how I got my silver leg
Just curious… how did you get your silver leg?
He bought it from this talking raccoon in a space prison.
I TOLD YOU NOT TO ASK THAT!
He took an arrow to the knee
Looks amazing, can't see why everyone is complaining.
That’s a lotta sticker.
I almost didn’t recognize him with the silver leg
Aren’t you a little fat for a protocol droid?

Good bot. 😊

10th 1st look!
or the 1st 10th look!
How is this the first look? We’ve been seeing this set for days now.
Official from Lego vs leaks
Looks like the one from Spaceballs

No red arm option? I hardly recognize him
Should have made him more swole https://preview.redd.it/cg3dt8fbsn9d1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ff2fe2f72053a0418b04cbd4b8d1e66e7eea8c4
As a community, I don’t think we’re doing enough to push for 1:1 scale builds. Let’s worry about the cost later..
The cost seems to be the communities biggest focus these days
Fuck. I already have R2D2. Now I NEED this.. I’m running out of room
I have the big R2 because it looks good with BB-8 and Wall-E. Now this is making me want to get rid of those two and swap them with the smaller R2 and this. I like BB-8 but I've gone off the sequel trilogy and these 2 together are more iconic
Will it come with an optional red arm too, I wonder.
Well it's 100 times better than big boye Chewbacca
Rumor has the set will have 1138 pieces. What a coincidence..
Why is he caked up tho
It looks like a trophy lol
A low budget Oscar
With its stand it looks like an Oscar statue
YES. I NEED THIS
“R2D2 watch ur language always having sex with robotic strangers!”
Dies ist fit with r2d2?
It looks mid but way better than the chewbacca Also not like I could make anything close to this
gonna need a banana for scale
I need better pictures but overall this looks like something id get. Maybe even the small ucs r2d2, even though i kinda prefer the big one
Is this proportionally accurate to the R2 set? That’s the only way I would buy it.
That’s my question as well. I have both of the UCS R2’s, but I’m sure they’re both much to large to be in scale. Not that I need another big R2, but the pair is so iconic! Plus I really want that Malek.
Just read in a blog that it’s pretty accurate – my poor wallet.
Thunder thighs! Woah!!!
He didn’t skip leg day
Hold on, does that minifigure have a dual molded leg? I'm surprised it took so long to finally get a C-3P0 with one
I seem to remember there being a previous one with a dual-molded leg, but it might have just been printed.
Eyes aren't the best, but looks nice otherwise, imo
I swear he never had a silver leg in the timeline I came from
The eyes are bit creepy
Oh, I hardly recognized him without his red arm.
Is it metallic gold or pearly gold?
The eyes ruin it for me, but everything else is really solid.
If they can chrome gold the ring in LOTR set, then C3PO minifig should be chrome gold, just saying
Neat, but pass.
I wish they'd come up with better eyes. Overall it's pretty great though.
Eh
C-3PO not C-3P(zero)
And yet Lego can't do more than one Architecture set a year at this point anymore, it's be nice if they released something that wasn't Marvel or Star Wars.
Giving this a good look-over.. and I hate everything.
silver leg???
Silver in episodes 3-6
Damn. https://youtu.be/AaeMR6tAD8s?feature=shared
