Interesting Bionicle Finds Topic

[Pohatu: Uniter of Stone]

My brother found a Kanoka Launcher in his Sunday School's toy bin. Sadly, there were no disks.

[Munty]

I have black and white coloured Kanoka launchers but have no idea where they're from... I got one at the same time as I got me tanoka so perhaps they came together? That is pre bionicle though I think so not sure if the tanoka even came with a launcher!

[JMSOG]

My friend a couple years ago decided he did not want his bionicle sets anymore (which included Rockoh T3, all the barraki, a handfull of nuva, various-titans-which-I-can't-remember, the mistika, a few bohrok, a couple piraka, a couple mahri, gadunka, and a ton more), so he put them all in a box and said he'd sell them to me for $10. I felt bad because I thought he was ripping himself off, so I gave him $20.

Kanoka launchers came in the disk packs in red, white, blue, brown, green, and silver (all Metru colours). The black one came with the trans-red Kanoka, but I don't think it was in any disk packs. Like you say, the Tanoka was a Throwbots prototype and the launchers weren't designed until 2003ish.

 

Also - more on-topic, I just remembered that several years ago my cousin decided to sell his Bionicle collection to me for $100. It included Cahdok & Gahdok, all six Bohrok, some Rahi, and plenty more that I don't remember off-hand. Definitely a good deal.

I saw that listing end, you were certainly never getting mine that cheap! You realise this isn't the ebay topic though right

I found an almost sealed Roboriders LAVA set at Goodwill for $3, on a day where everything was 50% off, so I got it for $1.50

Found a bunch of Kanoka packs at a Lego store a couple of days ago (in Prague). Which is probably the strangest sight I've come across, seeing as how they're 10 years old and just lowly collectibles. Still bought one though after hesitating a bit.

You should have bought ALL of them. And sold them to us.

Back in 2010, while I was on vacation, I came across a store that had:

 

Tahu Mata

Gali Mata

Hordika Whenua

Visorak Boggarak

 

I purchased one Tahu Mata, one Gali Mata, and one UFO set.  I think that they were all around their original price!!!

 

I also recently got an Exclusive Tahu Mask off of eBay for $35.

Like, factory-sealed? That's pretty awesome.

[Daler99]

@NotS: Yep! They were factory sealed! I opened them right after I got home.

 

Edit: I'll take a picture (if I remember to ) and post it.

That's so awesome! Even more so that they were original price. Yeah, definitely post a pic if you have the time!

I got a black Nuva leg, I think it may be a prototype.

And you told Charlie you didn't buy it you fibber

[TheSkeletonMan939]

In 2010 I found the Bionicle Collector's Sticker Book in the back of some book store. Pretty amazing considering that it was a 7 year old book.

Or..... did I?

Found a slightly very rusty GSR set. 5 million pieces is gonna take a long time to build. Many parts missing to the Metru nui section. No box either.

[IcarusBen]

Craig, don't troll us. The GSR set has 3 million pieces.

[KopakaFan116]

Craig, don't troll us. The GSR set has 3 million pieces.

Oh. From my knowledge, it had 3,766,359 pieces. That's what the box says.

[Munty]

Pff whatever Kopakafan. You know darn well noone has ever found one boxed!

[Xan]

No no, I heard the advert back in the day. It also said the matoran were each sold separately.

 

Too bad Bricklink doesn't have core processor pieces.

I found a sealed Hewkii Mahri set at a garage sale for only $1 once!

[Toa Borox]

I don't remember if I posted about this or not here, but I found a few misprint pieces in my giant bin of Bionicle parts I didn't even know I had until a few weeks ago.

I'm jealous, I really miss my Hewkii Mahri. I should start scouting out garage sales.

Hah me too! Were any of them really interesting?

Well, here's what I found: 2 gold/clear Bohrok eyes,and a set Inika Jaller thighs/legs that seemed to be injected with a swirly black pattern.

Found a Matau for 4$

Which kind? That's kinda average for the Turaga version.

[Owlexander]

I found Makuta at Goodwill for $3

 

The irony in that statement is hilarious.

I bought Tahu Oko on Wednesday!

I bought all the Toa, 2 protectors, and LOSS yesterday. I will receive them in 4 days (maximum).

[MartinCollects]

Not bad KF, that's a cheap Von Nebula! It kinda doesn't count because it isn't Bionicle but I think it's probably fine to discuss it here anyway!

 

Also, this;

Wow! I'd really love to have a banner like this, would fit very well next to my detolf cases

Is it a cloth material banner btw? Kind of hard to see on the picture!

It is indeed material. Very nice too! Got it rolled up safely upstairs right now which is good as it won't wear or fade but kind of a bummer as I'd love to have it on display somewhere!!!

I bought the Kanohi Kraahkan: Epic Edition a while ago. I'll do a review of it once I get it on Friday or so.

[Munty]

What on earth is the epic edition :s

I once got a beat-up Piraka Stronghold for $8 at a Wal-Mart, around late 2007 or so I think. It was a pretty sweet deal.

Also, in 2010 I was able to find a couple of Thornatus V9 almost hidden away at another Wal-Mart, on clearance (for $25).

 

More recently, I found some Quest for the Masks packs at a Comics n Stuff a few weeks back.
