Remember a few weeks ago Richard from Denmark mentioning a new version of the LEGO Star Wars chrome C-3PO he heard about at the 2012 LEGO WORLD event? (You can read the original post here: LEGO Star Wars New Chrome C-3PO coming!) Well, if you have been waiting for C-3PO, there is some good and bad news for you. (Images below are from the May LEGO Store Calendar taken by LegoDad42. Click on pictures for larger view.)
The bad news first; there is no chrome-gold C-3PO yet, but the good news is that we are definitely getting a limited edition LEGO Star Wars chrome-silver TC-14 very soon! Just like Richard described; the new chrome droid comes with color-printed wires and more details than the original chrome-gold C-3PO from a few years back.
We don’t know for sure if the LEGO-designer talking with Richard referred to the limited edition TC-14, or if there is still a chrome-gold C-3PO coming. But in either case, the chrome-silver TC-14 should not be missed! It is a beautiful minifigure, and a must for any LEGO Star Wars fan’s collection!
And the best part? The limited edition LEGO Star Wars chrome-silver TC-14 is free with any LEGO Star Wars purchase over $75 at LEGO stores and LEGO’s online shop. This offer is only valid May 4th-5th! So mark your calendar to make sure you don’t miss out!
But this is not all May is bringing in terms of LEGO freebies! There is also an exclusive LEGO Super Heroes Hulk minifigure available with any order over $50, May 16th-31st at LEGO stores and LEGO’s online shop!
So, whether you are a LEGO Star Wars fan, or a LEGO Super Heroes fan, May is going to be a great month for you! If you would like, you can also head over to the LEGO Star Wars section or the LEGO Super Heroes section for more news on upcoming LEGO sets! So how do you like the May LEGO promos? Are you planning to get them? 😉
I can’t wait for the Hulk promo! That Hulk fig is awesome! And, unlike the Hulk figure they released already, it actually has purple pants!
Greg, yeah, I’m not sure why LEGO didn’t give purple pants to the big Hulk! And the minifig Hulk is definitely awesome! 🙂
No purple pants on the big Hulk because apparently Avengers Hulk will be in khakis or whatever.
+1 on the purple pants on the other fig though
Thanks for that clarification! 🙂
Looking forward to getting both the TC-14 and the Hulk minifigs!
Lego will be running the same promotion here in the UK and i for one am really looking forward to these new figures.
BTW i really hope there is a gold C-3PO some where in the pipe line.
I’m waiting for a gold C-3PO too! It would make sense to make one now that TC-14 is out! They would look awesome together! The happy couple! 😉
yes
Didn’t they already make a gold 3po?
Ye, in 2007 there was a promotional gold C-3PO (with the old design) available in random Star Wars sets. You can still get them on eBay or Bricklink, but they go for over $300! 😯
wow! didn’t know they went for that much!
Would you know if the rest of Europe will also have the same promo? A reader asked me on the TBB Facebook page and I don’t really know. 😕
i dont like him
I do hope the TC-14 is completely chrome covered. I got the chrome stormtrooper magnet a couple years back and the back of the legs, inside of the legs, and on the body under the arms were not chromed. It’s like they just chromed over the minifig in standing position rather than the individual pieces being chromed and then the figure assembled. Don’t go cheap on me LEGO!
I dont think im getting any of them. Im waiting for the ultra sonic rader!
My birthday month! :O I haz a plan! >:D
just awesome! 😀
