BooManChew Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hi BZ folk, My son and I attended a Bionicle event back in the day (Oct-2002) that promoted the prototype "Quest for the Mask" game including the Toa Nuva. I convinced the nice lady who was running the event to pack everything up afterward and give me a call if it was going to be thrown out. She packed, she called, and she gave us the whole thing, including the original box from Lego. There are a few pictures here. The main gameboard (Mata Nui) is huge, printed on heavy gauge vinyl. The characters were fold up cardboard stand figures, and the dice were big blow up gizmos. http://s26.photobucket.com/user/wuttin/library/Bionicle%20TRU%20Game%20and%20Posters The protoype game is a small boxed afffair, complete We also have a number of posters that we got from corresponding events at Walmart, the orignial TOA and the Toa Nuva. I think we have them all. Just curious if these things are rare and valuable? I've never seen them on eBay so I have no gauge. All the best and thanks for any info,Steve 3 Quote Click here to make nothing happen! [flash=250,100]http://www.menol.org/signature.swf?id=quark.swf aLL yOur BasE arE BeLong tO Me!!

Mask collector Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hi there, looking at the pictures of everything you have here, I'd love to have all of this stuff! I'm opening a Bionicle Museum called "The Bionicle Archives" I would really love those posters and the game! As for a price, I'm not sure what I would value them at, but they would be going to a great place! 1 Quote Were you a member of the Protosquad? if so please PM me!

Please contact me if you, or someone you know has any GPKK! Mask Collector MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Lhikan Hordika Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'll offer you $100 for it all if you're interested. - 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooManChew Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Wow, thanks for the replies. Clearly some value. I'll have to chat with my son and see if he's interested in parting with them. Is $100 the going rate or would I expect to get more if I put it up for auction? I don't plan to do that but I do want to make sure that if we sell it gets a fair price. You can be honest, I understand this crazy collectibels biz (a bit). Thanks again,Steve 1 Quote Click here to make nothing happen!

Thanks again,Steve I'm not sure because I've never seen a set like that before. I'm sure it could fetch around $100 or maybe more in an auction, but I honestly don't know for certain. I guess after you confirm with your son that he may be willing to part with it, just see if anyone's willing to top my offer here. - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mask collector Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I offered to get it all as well, first actually. I just haven't made an offer yet. I'll wait a little bit and see what others offer, then I'll put mine in. But I will give you more then $100 for the whole lot. Quote Were you a member of the Protosquad? if so please PM me!

Flintsmith Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised if each one of those posters went for $20-30 on ebay. The huge vinyl game board Is amazing. The printing cost was probably $80. Coolness, age and rarity take it sharply up from there. How many of the paper posters are there? I bought a ToysRUs pack for the Bohrok card game and it came with a LOT of posters. I would expect you could easily get $100 for the vinyl game mat alone. Double that with the full game set up (Inflatable dice? How out-there is that?) Plus $20 per poster. You never know though what would happen on eBay. The posters I have sometimes sell for $10, sometimes for $30. 1 Quote How I make metal masks. Trans-purple Kaukau Olda . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't trying to step on your feet or steal a deal from you there. I had actually started my reply before you posted yours, but I was at work at the time and had to stop writing my post for a few minutes. Then after I finished it, your post was already up. My bad. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munty Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I'd strongly recommend you list this as an auction here on BZP if you decide to sell. That'll get you the best price. If you give it a cooling off period (ie. ends x hours after last bid) you'll maximise your sale price. Just the fact that you have MC and TLH both interested in it is a very good sign! I'd love it too but not in a good place to outbid these guys right now Quote Check out my Bionicle store on Bricklink here!> > > Bionic Bricks < < < Let me know if you can help me find these last few collectibles!Also looking for WILD KRAATA and a VMKK Yo!!!

BooManChew Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Thanks guys, all great advice and chatter. Class-A group here for sure. I spoke with my son and he would like to keep the original Toa posters to go with his figures. He has 5 of the 6 (missing Gali), pretty sure we got them at WalMart right around the same time as the TRU event (they were giving out exclusive masks and posters one morning if you happened to be lucky enough to know about it). He is, however, willing to part with the game set which includes the "trivia card" posters, one each for the six Toa Nuva. I've never auctioned anything on the site. Let me look into the "how to" and I'll post it, along with a pile of fresh, more detailed pictures. Thanks again to all, Steve 1 Quote Click here to make nothing happen!

Mask collector Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I would really like those other posters! If he is willing to part with them in the future, you should let me know!

I just want to make sure before I throw in any offers. - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooManChew Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hi TLH...yes, I will start a separate auction thread for the game set, but without the original TOA posters.
