LEGO Star Wars 75398 C-3PO Review! (2024) 

C-3PO was unarmed

Turning C3PO into a backpack for Chewy would make a pretty awesome YT short.

When the arms fell off at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="453">07:33</a> it's actually because they weren't connected all the way. You can see it in the previous 30 seconds. The gray elbow pieces aren't supposed to be visible like that. Look at the official set images

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="228">3:48</a> bro chill💀

Let's get a K2S0 set like this

I really like that he is slightly sunk into the sand, makes Threepio seem to have actual weight

1138 pieces! Somebody made an effort on the quantity considering the significance of that number.

Call the empire we found the droids we were looking for

It being able to scale perfect to R2 is so sick

MAD respect for getting ANOTHER set early

Thank Lego for making this amazing model best display set of the year

I was initially opposed to buying this set but honestly this set looks amazing! You get the best C-3PO minifigure of all time and the build is so well put together and $140 dollars isn't bad for what your getting.

Lego should make a brick built B1 or B2 battle droids or maybe both so they can be displayed one with each other that would be cool

Maybe it's just because I've gotten used to it by now, but I feel like the eyes look better than they did in the renders

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="407">6:47</a> C-3PO is doing a questionable salute

The build stream was fun! Glad to have the review!

The only two things I don't like about this build (besides the stickers) are the eyes (as usual) and the bloody silver leg. I just wished LEGO would STOP making his leg silver. It was never silver in the films. His right leg was brass, not silver. So for this to be accurate LEGO should have either used their drum lacquered gold (which I know they wouldn't 'cause it'd cost them) or just use tan.

I don’t mind that the ucs C-3PO is in this set because it’s another premium display set literally about C-3PO. However he doesn’t belong in cheaper sets like people are clamoring for because he is meant to provide some exclusivity value for the people who buy it. Not to resell or anything but just to own something cool and exclusive that they paid a premium for.

The only positive note about this set is that it’s face isn’t has horrifying as chewbacca’s 😂

Personally i like the mix of different gold colors, it gives him a nice old and weathered look. Not to mention that he would likely have dozens of replacement parts after his long "life", which likely would have a different color aswell. What really bothers me is lego refusing to recolor the joint pieces for some reason

What buildable figure would u want to see next if u could pick any

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="451">7:31</a> I had my arms RIPPED off! 😱

he looks really like a cool build

This is the Droid I'm looking for!

I still find it weird that a set with a base scales with a set without a base. Unless you build your own base, the two will look uneven in terms of height

Considering the limitations of Lego , they are bringing out new pieces in colors not available making sets like this possible from an accuracy stand point . This set is real nice and i will be getting it as a result of this video , I like your reviews but my Visa not so much , lol .

I'd love to see how the size of this compares to the bigger R2-D2s, like the 75308

The QT-KT astromech set leaked. It’s a Rebel vs Stormtrooper mega battle pack. It’s an updated version of the 2 we got back in 2007

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="450">7:30</a> Bespin Mining Colony C-3P0 option confirmed!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="217">3:37</a> “That piece I did not put down all the way” So, he DOES occasionally have time to experience the building of LEGO sets. Good.

I find it funny how R2 has Tatooine box art but no base and 3PO gets no box art but the base. That being said this set grows on me with every review I watch. Seeing him with R2 is just perfection 👏

Gorgeous set, but you're so right about the head being too many different colors.. that "cheddar" color is throwing me off lolol

So the silver bricks do exist. I thought they dont! Lego!! When do we get our hands on Padme’s Nubian!? That ship is a dream.

“It seems like we are made to suffer, it’s our lot in life.”

I love how you manage to get all these sets early to put out good content thanks for everything❤🎉

The way @Mandr was messing with that “hip” piece was just a lil sus

They simply used the stones that were in stock for the set and didn't introduce any new ones, especially with the right leg, light bluish grey instead of silver, which is really really Bad for the price. 4 out of 10. 90 Bucks maximum …

I gotta think currently at this point Lego knows the droids are really the only feasable and liked buildable star wars sets outside of maybe grogu or yoda. I would love to see them tap into droids more with K2 and IG-88, both would be quite popular and succesful sets. Also with a droideka out its possible we get a battle droid and super battle droid. Hell maybe even a dark trooper from Mando or if they really want to make me happy they could do HK-47 from KotoR, a market they have yet tap into outside of the Revan and Malik minifigs. I would also like to see them bring back the buildable troopers on the level of C-3PO and Chewy as well. I think stormtroopers and clone troopers in that style would be incredibly popular especially for MOC

Very nice set I love the set plaque with the hinges hope to see more of that with sets like this. Now they need to make a buildable battle droid so we can swap the heads.

The good thing is that Chewie was on sale Wednesday this week on Amazon for 30% off so he was $140 and most likely Lego will put him for the same price by Black Friday and maybe even 40% off by then!

I like how this and the old Technic figure have the same eye pieces used.

nice set

The longways stream was pretty cool btw!

This wasnt on my wish list initially but the fact it is in scale with the $100 R2D2 makes me want to pick this up if it goes on sale

Stickers in a 140$ set not my money

we still need to see it next to the UCS R2-D2

Great set but arm not sure about those arms

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="227">3:47</a> ermm what's happening there? 🧐

This looks really good. I am glad I preordered this one. Looking forward to getting my copy. Great review!

I did not care about the R2D2 set until this came out and now I want them both lol

Looks better then mini figure version of 3PO we got this year.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="233">3:53</a> Looking at his rear 😂

I want it purely to go with R2

Thx for the video! I only disagree in that I feel Chewy looks GREAT next to the pair!! I’m getting the Chew-io!

I think at this point, Chewbacca is worth it if you can find him heavily discounted, as the assumed belief should be that LEGO plans to make Han, Luke, and Leia in the future. Otherwise, yeah, C3PO and R2 are the perfect pairing to just get.

Would prefer some spots of the belly with 3D wires, e.g. like the tatic board in the Icons Police Station.

Lego should make an upscale version of Huyang

Oh my gosh. It’s the real C-3PO and RTD2.

First MandR bud I’ve ever been to early

I bought R2 mainly because of the rumored 3PO but also because I’ve never gotten one of the buildable character sets, glad R2 and 3PO scale well together. To me 3PO’s eyes aren’t scary, but something is off. Maybe it’s because the face should be flat then sink in for the eyes but the radar dishes first curve out away from the head before curving back in where the trans-yellow studs go for the eyes. Either way, like the set and will get it once it gets a discount.

Do an M&R custom where you put the c3po on Chewbacca's back

THX 1138 pieces iykyk

Nothing is a scary as the mona Lisa 😂

So does this set still scale with the slightly earlier R2D2, the one without darth Malak?

Can't wait to get my first ever C-3PO minifigure.

I literally watched the r2d2 review this morning before this came out!

I only wish it came with an exclusive anniversary figure like R2-D2. Just imagine it being like Shmi or a new Bail Organa or anyone we likely wont get in a set.

Never understood why they don’t use Pearl gray for C-3PO’s silver foot, we know they can do it cuz of Mad-Eye Moody from the Lego Harry Potter CMF. Still, I need that minifigure in my collection.

The pairing with R2D2 is so damn good 🔥

have you seen the new set leak for the star wars celebration set with the 25th anniversary r2 kt

Almost perfect. Only real misses are Stickers and no 25th anniversary Minifigure.

Overall, I think C-3PO looks great. I also agree about the "problem" of 'different' silver & gold pieces being used...they could have molded pieces for this set from a single silver, and a single gold. As for the eyes, I don't think them "creepy"...but, they are definitely NOT 'right' - the diameter is to big. I plan on "fixing" that problem when I get my C-3PO...but, I'll admit, I have to first figure out 'how' I'm going to fix it. Finally, as for putting C-3PO & R2-D2 together, I've already been at work on a MOC stand that will allow them to be placed side-by-side, while simultaneously retaining the base C-3PO is attached to.

I have the R2-D2 already, so I'm definitely going to get C-3PO, though I don't think I would want C-3P0 if I didn't already have R2.

I didn’t have much of an interest before but combining him and r2 looks great

Just built him and it was so fun to do

the only buildable figure i will probably ever care about this is actually phenomenal

Hey, gonna speak for everyone real quick. They should’ve made it closer to $200 but we get the entire figure in chrome gold and full chrome leg; along with a chrome gold C-3PO minifigure

Would love to see an iron man armor in this scale

I’m pretty sure the gold is a different color cause Lego doesn’t want to use money to make the specific pieces in the correct gold color

His outro music is an absolute bop, what is it's name

Anyone else get the thumbnail for other videos and channel logo randomly pop up at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="465">7:45</a>? Then at the end of the video they didn't appear....

ASKMANDR: The brick shell cases 25th Anniversary minifigure case only has 6 spots, but there are actually seven 25th anniversary figures. How would you display all seven figures?

This is exactly the info I needed at the right time. I was almost going to buy Chewbacca. Now I don’t think I will miss him not being next to the other two. Thank you!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="125">2:05</a> naw thats MJ-3Po now 😂

Now I definitely need C-3PO for my R2! 😍🔥

Add a octan oil can to this set would be so smart.

when the arms came off, it's like the small millenium falcon and the cockpit bridge deck arm... that comes off easily too. I think that, for the price, it's not worth it. The stickers are basic The arms falling off The head Other than that it's ok, but not for the price - i think they're getting sloppy. Most excellent review though, very detailed. Subbed!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="350">5:50</a>, I can't see the difference, that's one plus of being colourblind)

I really like the set in general and the combination with the 100€ R2-D2 is awesome but the eyes throw me off. Wish they did them with a round printed 2x2 tile.

Also do you think we will get a 212th or !87th battlepack Sorry to bother you , I love you content Bye.

I will get it to build an Oscar

Lego yang sangat keren, semoga suatu saat bisa beli. ❤

nice review

Just picked up Chewbacca (not a fan😬), to go along with r2 and c3po

Chewy is going to be worth so much one day im investing now

Nice review❤

“These are the droids we’re looking for”

Looks great. I saw the live stream. How was the building process? Was it fun or repetitive?

The fact that they used actual shiny gold for the infinity gauntlet for Marvel and they didnt do it here shows how much less Lego respect us as SW Fans. They know most people would just buy anything they throw at us without complaining. The ridiculous price increase on the next wave its just them testing us, and sadly it will work.... I have to say I buy most sets at sale a few months after release, and I hope people realize, that if more people just wait for sales, there will be more sales, since the price of the Lego sets its based on what people are willing to pay and not on the actual value of the materials and production. The set is really nice, and I wouldve defintely bought it, if it had actual shiny gold pieces, since it looks so good next to R2-D2, prolly will get it anyway at a sale.

Think it would look good with the big r2?
