I’m kind of doubting a Droids 3PO in series 3 though. For a “surprise” figure, it’s just too predictable and obvious, which is unusual for Medicom’s part. Another thing is with the issue like some have mentioned about having a carded R2 and plastic bag 3PO for display. To me, it just doesn’t sound like something a Japanese toy company would do unless they expect people to open the R2. Well they might still put him in anyways. If we do get it as a chase figure, maybe one can customise a card packaging for display with the R2.
And BTW that is a pretty good price for a $96.88 BIN R2! Nice score!
