Hapori Tohu Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Got money to burn, and want to spend it on an extremely rare Bionicle mask? A German eBay seller has posted a listing for the 2015 LEGO Inside Tour Exclusive Gali Mask, a transparent blue Mask of Water of which only 250 were produced and only 200 were distributed. The one for sale is number 43/200. The current bid is 91 Euros (approximately $99.80 US dollars), and you have a little over nine days left to place a bid. If this piques your interest, follow the link above to check out the listing! View the full article Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Smoke Monster Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Interesting. I may place a bit for this after Christmas if I have the money to do so.

Lyichir Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Goodness, the price on that has certainly climbed since this morning! As of this post it's at 322 Euros (approximately $353 USD). I think that's still lower than the last one that sold on the open market, which I believe went for $500 USD, but who knows how long that'll last.

Rooster Nui Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Yeah, no thanks. I wouldn't mind owning that mask, but I'm not going out of my way to pay a few hundred dollars for it. Maybe ~$50 - ~$100. That's final, though. No more than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naota Takizawa Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Why are so many fans bidding for this transparent mask and supporting a scalper? I get that it's rare and all, but is it worth spending thousands of dollars? Quote If you like Pingu & want to support a good project, click here.

Lyichir Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Why are so many fans bidding for this transparent mask and supporting a scalper? I get that it's rare and all, but is it worth spending thousands of dollars?"Scalper" is a little harsh, don't you think? We don't know the seller's motivation for selling the mask. Perhaps they are a "scalper" and went on the tour just to make a profit (though I feel the odds of that are slim). But it's also entirely possible that they ran into money troubles and needed to sell off a cherished collectible. Or that they just aren't interested in Bionicle and wanted to sell the mask to someone who was (and make some money to invest in their own preferred themes at the same time). Lord knows that as much as I love my own copy of the mask, I would almost surely sell it for as much as I could get for it if, say, my house burned down and took the majority of my Lego collection with it. I understand that it's frustrating that the bidding has gone well outside the means of most people, but I don't think calling the seller's ethical standing into question is called for. 4 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSkeletonMan939 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Winning bid: EUR 935.00Approximately US $1,015.69 I'm sure the seller is far happier than the winner about this transaction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
