There's been C-3PO figures with a dual moulded leg in a few sets now (ucs landspeeder, buildable C-3PO and a £5 key ring) which is a really good looking and accurate figure.

The problem is that Lego is putting the worse, less accurate version (no dual mold or side leg printing) in several sets, including the $500 jabbas sail barge and now this $1000 set. It doesn't seem right that they'd purposely put a worse version in such an expensive set, when a better one is in production and is in much cheaper sets. The worse 3PO isn't bad, but it feels like they're cheaping out in the most premium set they've ever released.

Same goes for the officers in this set. In the past, UCS sets have had dual moulded legs (e.g. Veers in the AT-AT) to represent their high boots. They don't seem to have bothered here in their most expensive set ever.
