The Rarest Bionicle Sets? (Not Collectibles)


Shadow Destroyer

Recommended Posts

A boxed Takutanuva is one of the few sets I'm still missing. Same goes for Voporak so perhaps the combiners in general are harder to find?

 

We already covered the Korean combiners bionicle+lotr :D

 

I have a boxed Takutanuva somewhere, but the box is water damaged on the inside partially.  :(

 

And the rarest set would probably be any set with lime joints that aren't cracked.

So, there are a lot of topics on here about the rare bionicle masks and collectibles, but what would you say are the rarest bionicle sets? (As in, hardest to find?)

I think the Piraka Kaita (Korea exclusives) are almost impossible to find, and then there's also the Sand Tarakava. It might be a prototype, but it was sold by Lego to some collectors, so I think it counts. Also, Toa Mata Nui and all the boxed titan combiners are difficult to find. Am I missing any?

Norik and Iruin sell for 2-3 times what normal canister sets go for so I agree they must be rarer than most. Karzahni is a good call as well. He's in just as high demand as TMN and I rarely have them more than a week or two in the shop. Just sold a boxed one for £75 though it doesn't compare to £110 for TMN it's pretty close!

Well, Toa Norik was never sold separately, he was only available in a two-pack with Iruini. That would explain his rarity. 

 

And yeah, I'm sure exclusive sets like Umbra, Karzahni, Lesovikk, Mutran & Vican, Icarax, Mazeka, Yellow Jetrax and Toa Mata Nui (titan) are worth a heck-of-a-lot as well.

Are you sure about that? I remember getting Iruni and Norik separatly a few years ago...  

 

Yeah, and the one person I knew who got Norik did not have Iruini

I got both Iruni and Norik both in that 2-pack for Christmas, lol. Didn't even know there were out in stores up until then.

Wow, I have Karzahni, Lesovikk, Mutran & Vican, and Icarax all dismantled somewhere in my parts bins. I had no idea they were rare

I didn't know Icarax was rare.

He certainly tends to be hard to find and usually has a relatively high pricetag too so I'd certainly consider him one of the rarer sets myself. Of course it's all a matter of opinion/perspective but I'd have Icarax up there with Karz. and TMN for sure...

TMN sell for around £70+ these days, I recently parted with a boxed one for £110 though and I also bought a slightly incomplete one (but with mask and yellow shields) for £17 :)

Regarding Toa Norik and Iruini: The two-pack exclusive version was only for the US. They were available separately in all other parts of the world. However, the two-pack still had them in their own individual canisters. So any purchased second-hand now are going to be much more easily found singly, even in light of their exclusivity in one region.

 

I'm curious how rare the yellow Jetrax T6 is at this point.

Well since I got a yellow Jetrax from the US, I have never seen another one pop up. There probably have been more, but are becoming increasingly hard to come by. 

 

EDIT: Turns out there are currently three available in the US. Was it exclusive to US stores or something?They have never appeared in the UK from what I know.

As far as I know, Takutanuva Mint condition, Karzanhi, and most unopened sets from 2001-2003 are pretty hard to find. As you progress along the years of Bionicle, the earlier sets become increasingly rarer with every year.

GENERATION 4: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation. Social experiment.

Thanks for all your replies everyone! Using some of your responses, I was able to come up with a top ten rare sets video on my youtube channel. Thank you for the feedback...

I think Takutanuva and Voporak are the hardest to find, at least for me

I've long had Karzahni and Icarax and picked up Mazeka at a car boot for £4 so, neat!

 

 

Wait, I thought those were fake. I saw a thread about that on BZ a while ago.

There was a massive war over whether they could be considered legitimate sets, and no consensus was ever reached. It was confirmed that the attributed set numbers were in LEGO's database as Piraka co-packs, so I really see no reason to doubt their validity, but a lot of people felt the packaging was suspicious for diverging from the norm so much.

If those are fake, then they are extremely convincing ones...

Looks pretty legit to me, in fact.

Some cool Bionicles are the combiners. Example: Toa Jovan

I've built a Krahka with 5 Toa Metru & Toa Norik, adding parts I needed to Norik. It needs 11 blue pieces (the ones that have +&O ends) but there's only 10 in all the Toa Metru sets. Do I have to attach her launcher to her arm? Please PM me if you can help me.

How come no-one has mentioned 8954 Mazeka yet? It's limited edition, and was exclusive to Walmart in the USA, soo...

Eh...I'd say it has the same rarity as Umbra or Makuta Icarax.
