Yeah. But there is an even more limited number of solid 24k gold ones made from gold that was taken from Ft. Knox. One of the criminals from the smuggling ring made the gold into Lego figures and mixed them with the plastic ones. It was payback for getting what he felt was the short end of the deal. Now if you find a real gold one, better get rid of it fast! The criminals and the government will do whatever is necessary to take back all the real gold ones.

True story.
