Hapori Tohu Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Copies of the trans-neon green Skull Scorpio mask that was an exclusive giveaway from LEGO at this weekend's San Diego Comic Con have started showing up on eBay. Check out the listings for your chance to score a rare piece of Bionicle memorabilia. Prices fluctuate depending on each auction and the "buy it now" listings, but several reports have shown recent sales hovering around $30. For the right price, this is a great opportunity to add and exclusive piece to your collection!

Lyichir Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I picked up one yesterday for $25. If you want one, now's probably the time to get one—attendees looking to recoup some of the con costs seem to be putting their masks up for auction en masse, so there are plenty of masks available for reasonably low prices.By the way, thanks for reporting on this, Ben! I'm sure a lot of BZP members will be grateful for the heads up.

Nescent Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Was able to nab one for $22! I missed out on the NYCC mask, so it'll be nice to have a G2 exclusive. Edited July 13, 2015 by Nescent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xccj Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Heh, I got one last night for $26, but then they were one of those who added $9 for shipping. Probably the highest I've ever paid for an exclusive mask, but on the other hand it still seems like a more reasonable price for said exclusive. Now just need to make sure I don't lose this one at the next convention.

Nescent Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Heh, I got one last night for $26, but then they were one of those who added $9 for shipping. That's how they getcha. I feel kind of queasy for spending so much on a single mask, hopefully it'll feel worth it when I get to hold it in my hands. Did you lose a mask at a convention?

Dark_Stranger Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Just got one for $31. A bit more than I had wanted to spend on a single mask, but considering others are going for over twice that, I guess it wasn't a bad deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swimming Beard Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I got one this morning for $30, though shipping brought it up to $35. I'm working on a MOC right now that I think this would look great on, so I couldn't resist. Quote "I pitea the fool!"

steelviper77 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) I missed a sale that I thought was really good and started to feel a bit bad before I ended up getting one for 10 dollars less, glad I picked it up when I did!

dviddy Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) One for 35, got a second for 20. Feels nice. Edited July 13, 2015 by DeeVee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkchampion Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Tried all weekend to get one for around $20. I ended up getting one this morning for $25 plus $2.99 shipping. That's what I got the other mask for a while back. At least I have a great custom figure in the works for it this time.

Ektris Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Got mine from there for $35 (just gotta wait for it to ship) and felt pretty good about it, but you people and you're ~$20 ones aren't helping. I like how it didn't take long for the prices to go down and stabilize. ~|ET|~ Quote E-T... Phone home. "He walks among us, but he is not one of us."

I like how it didn't take long for the prices to go down and stabilize. ~|ET|~A lot of people seemed to expect the prices to be higher due to the NYCC masks initially going for more. But not only is Tahu obviously more popular than the unreleased Skull Scorpio, but the transparent Tahu mask was essentially the first Bionicle mask available to anyone in four years, which probably inflated demand for it. At least, that's my best guess. Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Nui Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I don't think I'll be getting one. Shipping is expensive for where I live, so it comes as no surprise that I have to pay $20 extra for a piece of plastic that's being sold for $40 AUD. I'm not worried about it, though. It's an exclusive which wasn't meant for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mate.397 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Man, I still have to wait for some of the auctions to get close to ending to get my hands on one, maybe,MAYBE a second if I can even get the first one, but I won't push my luck. Also what in the world costs nearly 30 bucks on the delivery? I have ordered from the US a few times via BrickLink and those were not that high on delivery prices.
