How many days it took to find this. Around a week .
I should be ecstatic however , I have to admit that I'm a little bit disappointed .
After fiddling with it just now , I sort of understand why certain retailers are reluctant to keep it in stock .
Compared to the other 3 non shiny designs , C-3PO's shiny gold surface looks damn good in your hand . The downer is that it scratches easier than a mica top ,and much like a Christmas bauble, you really have to handle this with care or else the paintwork will be chipped off .
Oh wait , but there's more . Where the ears are , the edges are rather rough and the paintwork doesn't look properly done. Went through all the pens on display and in the end I settled for the example you see on top.
Which makes me hesitant to search for the Silver Stormtrooper next . Probably won't have a rough edge problem but high chance it will be scratch prone as well .
Strictly for the die hard writing instrument and movie merchandise fan . If you get this , you'll want to get a proper padded pen case to protect it . Careful upkeep is crucial .
Price : not cheap for what is essentially a thick regular ballpen
