| Gold Vader Case | |
| This is the legendary Gold Vader Case that Steve Sansweet popularized in his book, Star Wars: From Concept to Screen to Collectible. About one hundred of these cases were made by Kenner to test the gold metallization process on the upcoming C-3P0 cases. In a way, it is truly a C-3PO case prototype. |
