  1. Past hour
  2. $1500-$2000. It's rare but I don't think you could justify much more for plastic personally. I imagine this will be an easy mask to counterfeit down the road too, fan made mask recolors are getting really good.
  3. Today
  4. You're putting us on the spot a little bit with that question. I can't imagine something like this would be cheap for you to do, and I'm not comfortable arbitrarily throwing out suggestions or requests without knowing what I'd actually be getting. I'd recommend first having a look at what this service you're contracting is capable of. What colours do they have available? How closely do they match official Bionicle parts? Can they blend colours? What will it cost? Do some tests to see if there are any issues with fragility, quality, detail, etc. Take some high-fidelity photos to show people the quality of what they'd be getting. Then, if you decide it's worth getting into selling/distributing, maybe put a poll on Reddit, some community Discord servers, or somewhere else with greater reach to gauge what kinds of Kanohi people might want, and what colours they'd like to see.
  5. here is my proof. look to the circled areas. you can see painted parts and 3d printed parts.
  6. @Nato G @doodleloot I'm thinking about using a injection molding service to make existing masks in new colors. I would outsource it via a prototyping company (what colors and masks would you want?)
  7. Absolutely, and the market for it already exists. There are numerous creators in the community who produce parts resin casts of existing pieces in new colours.
  8. I haven't yet, but I think eventually I want to get some. The quality of a lot of the recasts being sold has gotten so good that they look pretty much like the real deal, it's honestly really cool. And there's just something kind of magical about seeing the old maks in colors that were never produced but featured in MNOG or other media. And I don't think the legality is much of an issue, the quantities being sold are comparatively small and it's not like Lego is selling these masks themselves anymore.
  9. Why should I care, if no one else does?  Has been my attitude towards a lot of things for a long time, but I never thought the day would come where I'd say it about my writing. 

    How much deeper can rock bottom's basement go? 

  10. ASMR Alise rambling (technically the video is word association, but I'm still right).
  11. Yesterday
  12. just putting this out here I know it's probably illegal (an example would be a metru komau in dark green)
  13. @Michalso are you fine with the parts being in the us?
  14. what is embers?

  15. area to attach shield like the breakout version yeah I made nex after
  16. You're right about that, I mentioned your last point as a possibility in my post as well (doesn't explain the Tridax Pod though, since that's completely different from the production part). But then again, the original poster themselves weren't even trying to sell these off as protoypes. So it's just really weird situation overall. I've sometimes seen people dismiss genuine (that we know to be legit) prototypes as "fake" because of them featuring printed parts and some people immediately take that as an indication of them being fan made or fraudulent. But you're right, these look like they could also be from Shapeways and admittedly, the print lines on these look less noticeable than for example the Lewa Axalara prototype parts from Toy Fair. Comparing the print from the images with the shadow leech mesh from Stud.io though (at least the one I have installed, from the Biopack/Stud.io pack), I'm not sure it's the same model, and I'm a little inclined to say that it is not. The Stud.io mesh is really lowpoly (it just looks smooth in stud.io because it's smooth shaded, which makes no difference to the actual geometry of the mesh when you print it), especially in the back, and even though the print is small, the back hull is still super round in the print and you don't see any of the faceting that is present in the Stud.io model. I'm pretty sure at least some of that jaggedness would show through. There's also a few other details that don't seem to match up exactly, like the fins having rounded off edges in the print, but being sharp on the stud.io model. I know Shapeways offers a polished SLS method where the print gets some of the surface finish removed, so that might explain the edges being more rounded, but from my experience printing with them, I doubt it would be able to clean the lowpoly jaggedness up to this extent. But who knows, it could also just be a custom or modified version of the model. That being said, the Tridax pod is still really weird as it seems to be a completely unique mesh, and doesn't match up with the Stud.io one at all. Both the outside decoration as well as the inside structure are completely different (plus the same issue with lowpoly geometry as the stud.io shadow leech). The pod is honestly the most notable part about this whole thing to me that makes me think there could be something to this. I also wasn't able to find a Tridax pod model that looks like this online anywhere 🤷‍♂️ But hey, I could also be completely wrong, it's just some things that stood out to me. Still think it would be interesting to get more images from the new owner if they're willing to share some and be able to take a better look.
  17. The reviews are overwhelmingly negative, which is hilarious. I might grab it in the future when issues are fixed and there’s a price drop, as well. As for the last game I played, Slay the Spire. Wonderful game that I swear is impossible to beat. Not even with the best luck and most stacked layout can I beat the final final room.
  18. I was really tempted to grab it as I never got a chance to play it when it originally came out, but with all the reviews about it, I'm going to wait until they fix the multiplayer and possibly go on sale
  19. Has anyone dared to try the Battlefront Classic Collection?
  20. I like the blending of HF and Bionicle G1 and G2 pieces. They go together nicely. Between the two, I think Nex has a more unified look. Rocka's Hero Core looks too obscured and I also don't get what the bump on his right forearm is supposed to be, but I like Rocka's industrial-looking color scheme. Overall they are both good models, especially Nex.
  21. Probably so. It is crazy to imagine copper komau inside of cereal.
  22. I am thinking $1500ish those masks on bricklink are over-hyped by people who sell their masks at unreasonable prices, and then buy them back. Then, they list it again, justifying their unreasonable prices.
  23. Last week
  24. The lighting is weird and messing with it for sure, but in the first one out of the bag it looks to have some sparkles in it along with some markings that only show up on the Copper one, specifically the lines from the eyes to the top and the one line that is at the top of the right side vent. Those marks appear in all the flip/flop colors like gold, silver, and copper from early Bionicle, while the Brown Komau just has a solid color without those lines. Also, those bags look a lot like the bags that random Kanohi would appear in when found in Nesquik cereal in Europe when that promo was running in the the early years.
  25. Hello, I have gotten hold of a White Huna mask that I'm looking to sell. What is a fair price for it? I heard about the one selling on bricklink for 3000+ euro but that seems unreasonable.
