Anyone who found one in a battle pack please reach out and speak. I’m pretty
skeptical about it appearing in such a small set, although a few sources say
it has been.

You’re not thinking of C-3PO - Chrome Gold (SW 30th Anniversary Edition)?
 
Minifig No: sw0158  Name: C-3PO - Chrome Gold (SW 30th Anniversary Edition)
* 
sw0158 (Inv) C-3PO - Chrome Gold (SW 30th Anniversary Edition)

He was in sets sold in North America, Darth Vader was given out when you bought
for a certain amount.

Now your testing my memory he said something about getting a figure from a
battle pack he got from the store and he was talking about some different rare
Star Wars minifigures including darth vader and now that you mention it C-3PO
so you might be right on that I can’t say I’ve ever followed to closely on the
differ y Star Wars promos from many years ago

But it also could very well be the darth vader one if he was also one of the
ones included in sets

but I can't say who uploaded it

I know it’s been said vader was in battle packs and C-3PO was only possible to
get in the bigger sets, like 7667 MTT for example.

Hey man,

This is LifeBricks on YouTube that was brought up within this discussion. I indeed
personally opened up a 2009 Assassin Droid Battle pack back in 2009 and pulled
out a sealed chrome vader. Also back in the day I remember seeing a couple other
people post YouTube videos on them getting it out of the 2 battle packs that
year as well. So speaking from direct personal experience I can confirm they
were placed into atleast some battle packs.

If these were alternate figures in sets, why are they not showing as such in

Hmmmm they were randomly inserted in some sets but not in most so that’s a tough
one. It’s more of something that a note should be added to the item entry itself
then to the inventories of the set probably

Best not to set expectations for buyers too high, when the chance is infinitesimally
small.
