teren97 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hey everyone! So basically, i have been a bionicle fan since 2005, and collected most of the titans till the end. I have a younger brother who is basically in love with bionicle, and he wants a set that is almost impossible to find for a reasonable price, Toa Mata Nui 8998, and his birthday is almost coming, so me and my mom are trying to find a way to get him the set! I want anyone to help me with this, because on websites like ebay, amazon and bricklink, they ask for your soul, i couldnt find anything cheaper than 250 US dollars! Overall, i would like anyone to tell me a place to get this set for around 80 dollars max. I can shop online, so any kind of help is appretiated, cause i really need to get this set. Any of you guys willing to sell me around that price, i would love to have it! Thank you already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UngluedBike Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 $250 is about reasonable. you will probably have to go for a second hand one, otherwise, unless you want to spend more, you're out of luck. sorry!

KopakaFan116 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 You can get a clone brand one on eBay for $59.99 usd. It is Decool brand, which is higher quality. Other than that, sorry, I don't know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdaptingChaos Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Im posting a post I posted on a different thread before: "Thought I would put this here: http://www.ebay.com/...=item3f34cfd81d It is a knockoff and if you guys wants a review on this knockoff, here you go: http://www.bzpower.c...a-nui-knockoff/ While I dont encourage the purchasing of LEGO knockoffs, to me, it looks like a pretty good deal considering the majority of Toa Mata Nui sets are usually $100+, in used condition. Also the pieces that are missing from this knock off (Mahri Jallers Sword) are easily obtainable :)" Hope this helped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I found several cheaper ones at Amazon and eBay, but nothing under $80, or $100 for that matter. Sorry.

AdaptingChaos Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I suggest you wait around to be honest. Usually they pop up on BZPower here and there. I remember I waited a bit and found one from a user for 42 USD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I would also suggest searching through the BST archive. Maybe some member didn't sell one and still has it, and if you PM them, they may be willing to sell. You could also part out the set from Bricklink if you're desperate.

Toa Lhikan Hordika Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) Not sure if you've seen this or not: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Bionicle-Toa-Mata-Nui-8998-BIG-set-LIMITED-EDITION-Rare-2009-Complete-/321410500549?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item4ad58f07c5 I know it's about $60 above your price range, but that's the cheapest one available on eBay. - Edited May 19, 2014 by Toa Lhikan Hordika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huh Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 this box looks like, it should contain a portion of 8998... unless it's too late x) http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-Lbs-Bulk-Lot-of-Assorted-Loose-LEGO-Bionicle-Pieces-Parts-Legos-mega-blocks-/111369645766?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item19ee25eec6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderscoreChronix Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) You can get a clone brand one on eBay for $59.99 usd. It is Decool brand, which is higher quality. Other than that, sorry, I don't know!I really don't think he will want a cheap chinese knockoff. It's not higher quality by the way, knockoffs have cheap low quality plastic. Keep looking for the real deal, don't buy the fake one. Edited July 6, 2014 by Toa Chronix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KopakaFan116 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I wouldn't say "much" lower quality than real Lego. Here is al link to a cool review:http://www.bzpower.c...a-nui-knockoff/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is al link to a cool review:http://www.bzpower.c...a-nui-knockoff/The OP is inactive I believe. If you want to discuss Bionicle knockoffs,, I suggest you do it in Bionicle discussion, not buy\sell\trade.
