Xabla Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Have you ever found any old Bionicle (Or Lego in general!) years after they were gone? My TRU still sells some Stars, Glatorian in 2012, and Barraki in 2011. Also, I once found some Barraki in a K-mart in 2011. My stores also sell 2010 HF sets to this day. Oh, and Harry Potter sets.

Oh, and Harry Potter sets.That's pretty cool for sure. Once in 2005, I found a store in a small town (don't remember where) that had like every Bionicle from 2001 till present still fully stocked. It was awesome. Also my local Shopper's Drug Mart used to carry old Slizers, Technic and Orient Expedition for as long as I can remember. Probably till they renovated. Barely sell toys anymore, which is disappointing. The toy section used to be killer. -NotS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xccj Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I remember KB-Toys used to have a selection of Slizer / Throwbot sets well into the 2000s... I want to say 03 or 04. I picked up a second Turbo from them many years after the theme had gone away and been replaced by Bionicle. In fact, KB-Toys often had a lot of older Lego sets... probably because they weren't selling well, which is why they went bankrupt in 2009 and no longer exist. Otherwise, the stores I frequent do a pretty good job of keeping their selection up to date and rarely have older sets around.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 In 2006, I once found a Pohatu Nuva set among some Avak sets at either my local Target or Walmart. (I don't remember which) That's the only set I've found in a store years after it was released. Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

I used to go in there and in late 2008, they had columns and columns of Barakki and Piraka and no '08 sets at all. I also received some of my first Bionicle sets as gifts, purchased from that store: Tahu Nuva and Pohatu Nuva in early 2005. And I remember getting lots of '05 Star Wars figures from there in early '09 before it closed. 1 Other great bands: Iron Maiden Journey Mercenary The Unguided Trivium Boston Stratovarius Symphony X Epica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyG Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 On one of my holidays in Spain I somewhere found a (sealed? It was definitely a closed box at least) Gahlok Va. Pre-forums purge sig kept for historical purposes: 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?

masterchirox580 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I did on two occasions, I remember once finding some left over stock of the toa metru back in early 2005 and bought Onewa (although considering the time I'm not sure if it counted as old), and I remember finding some visorak in a store in summer of 2006 (I bought Oohnorak).
