I love / hate today’s set, 5002948 C-3PO. First of all, the picture on the polybag is grossly misrepresenting the figure you actually get. It looks way shinier than it actually is, looking almost chrome like. Mentioning chrome and C-3PO is bound to put fans in a tizzy. Anyone seeing this polybag for the first […] The post A Year of Polybags 206/230: 5002948 C-3PO Review appeared first on FBTB. Original link
