Toa Lhikan Hordika Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Is there any chance that it's for sale or will be any time soon? I'd be willing to offer $2000 right now.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Ah, and here I was thinking the Platinum Avohkii was lost to history forever!Thanks for sharing, it is nice to know that the person who owns the mask is aware of it's value. Quote believe victims. its actually not that hard, and youd look kind of bad if you were to, say, side with an abuser because theyre your friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you enjoy your stay. :)Wow, this is really cool! I was wondering if we would eventually hear from the person who owns it in the future. A (very) late congratulations to you on winning it.

Meiko Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Welcome to BZPower! I've always admired the Platinum Avohkii, and I still do nowadays. And that says a lot because I've lost a lot of interest in Bionicle. I have to say though, I've never seen the back of it. Is it fully compatible with LEGO with an axle and all, and would you mind adding a picture of the back?

They might be able to give a price on how much that amount of platinum is worth at the exact moment. You could even add more to the price from there for it being collector's item.

-Sidorak- Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I have some questions!Was winning it really as simple as just calling a phone number? Did it come in a case? With a certificate of authenticity? What else was in the prize pack that you won? Did you ever talk to LEGO about the mask? How did you come across BZPower? What made you decide to sell the mask now?

Toa Lhikan Hordika Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Is it sad that I feel the need to correct the spelling of "Smeagle"? It's Smeagol :Pscyther_grovyle, if you look above, he said that he's hoping to sell it for a minimum of $4000 USD.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan McStudz Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I, for some reason, don't quite believe this. I mean, this is something bigger than the 24K Golden Haus and the White Hunas put together. And it's almost certain that our friend Chase would have known about this site and posted in it a long time ago. He even has a three-year Avolkii (I believe you get it after three years, correct me if I'm wrong).So did Chase just stick the Holy Grail of BIONICLE in a closet or Storage locker in California for ten years and suddenly remember that he had it after seeing this thread? (Google is a wonder when you look up "Platinum Avolkii") I mean, that seems to be the only explanation.I dunno. What took you so long in coming out and telling us that you have such a relic, Chase?The Precious! Smeagle must has it! He must!"What... Did you sayyy???"I believe that's pronounced Sméagol. Just saying. One Mask to rule them all and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan McStudz Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Look, I'm not trying to put Chase down. I just find it curious.I would say "Pics or it didn't happen", but we do have pictures. And when I searched up "Platinum Avolkii", nothing came up. Maybe Chase should take another picture and have a little nametag he wrote. You know, so that we have 100% proof that this is legit.

dee.3x3 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 It's a little hard to tell if this the real deal from the quality of the pic, as a bit of silver spray paint could get pretty much the same affect. But the fact that the owner is thinking of selling it kind of makes me assume that it is real, as selling a fake platinum Avohkii and getting away with it sounds like a challenge.So I guess congrats to Chase for owning this. I must say I'm pretty jealous, although I prefer the gold Hau myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
