That was exactly my take on the C-3PX... It's outstanding as a stand-alone figure, so it makes the set really outstanding as a value. The astromechs are nice, R2's new and IMO needed, and the pack-in figures were alright. Personally I'll be unloading mine, but they're ok. The droids are outstanding though. Love Watto's droid and Kit Fisto's. R-3PO is so different from the Saga figure that the new droid and old droid fit into a hoth set-up well together.
