Munty Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hi guys, having a good sort out of all my sets right now, both stuff for sale and also my personal collection. It seems I'm doing better than I thought with the majority of the canister sets released but there are a bunch of them that I need canisters for and the Mahri is one of them! I started looking around as they're hands down my favourite set of Toa and found the cases to be rather unusual... I've never had one myself but they look to consist of the plastic frame, card insert and plastic inner box bit. I'm told the back was sealed with cardboard?? Understandably most of that stuff goes in the bin but I have been lucky enough to come across the green outer shell for Kongu and I THINK all of the cardboard inserts which is a win. That still leaves me missing a whole lot of stuff though and I'm concerned I won't be able to find it without buying new and sealed sets which would of course be substantially devalued if opened (and I don't collect sealed sets!) So big question, did anyone keep theirs? Or do they all just end up in the bin? There are several bricklink items but just the outer frame or inner card piece so that's no good. Would appreciate any leads or advice as I'd like to have these boxes in my collection, even if they are a bit wierd...

Cambion Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) i kept all of mine, cardboard and everything, but as far as i can tell i'm the exception. i'm not interested in selling them, though, sorry. if you can't find any complete packages on Bricklink, i'm not sure what to tell you. i doubt anyone here would be willing (or able) to sell off just packaging, although i could be wrong. (also this topic is in the wrong forum) Edited October 2, 2014 by Arc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow pridak money gang Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I have a sealed Matoro Mahri that I was keeping for a rainy day, but that's the only one and I wasn't going to sell it, either. (which is good since you don't do sealed stuff) So it sounds like they may not be as much a rarity as you think. -Tyler Quote SAY IT ONE MORE TIME TELL ME WHAT IS ON YOUR MIND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portalfig Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I've got the outside shells for Kongu, Hahli, Nuparu, and two for Hewkii. None of the cardboard though, and I don't know if I would be willing to sell them. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munty Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) This is the trouble... Even if I do have all 6 cardboard inners (which I think I do) they're no good without the other bits. I reckon given time and persistence I could collect all 6 outer parts as well but I need at least the inner plastic case part to be able to put them together too and who the ###### would have kept them if they didn't want to keep them?! Have just got the Mahri bagged at the moment but will have to keep my eyes open I guess! Thanks for the replies though, it's interesting to see that I'm not quite the only person in the world who thinks these things are worth keeping. I guess it's probably a 'grown up' collector's trait to value the packaging as well as the item! Dang, seems I only have Hewkii Matoro and Kongu's cvardboard inserts Was sure I had more than that but maybe others will turn up while I get organised! If I had a plastic inner I could actually build Kongu's whole case...

Tea-rex Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I have the front panels and instructions for Jaller and Hewkii. I also have a Mahari bag form somewhere.

UngluedBike Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I think I have a Hahli box, with all parts. I'll have to check, you never know How much would you want to pay for one? -Bike Quote Also, if you're a resident of the UK and like Bionicle, go ahead and join us at this awesome Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BFUK7/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
