InkAlchemist1994 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I am a serious collector of Bionicle masks. Aside from the unobtainables, there are very few Kanohi that I don't have. I'm been scouring the internet (BrickLink, BrickSet, Ebay) looking for anyone that has the 4-Hole Chin Pearl Gold Kraahkan. It came in the playset "Tower of Toa." If anyone knows where I can find one, I would really appreciate any leads! If anyone has one that they are willing to sell, I'd be willing to pay at least $50. Here is a reference, although I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UngluedBike Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 There was actually PGK sold on Reddit not too long ago, so it wouldn't be completely hopeless to have a look there. Also, Crez I think you artificially inflated the price when you put up the false listing telling people to learn the difference :3 Also, if you're a resident of the UK and like Bionicle, go ahead and join us at this awesome Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BFUK7/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, when I first saw it, I hoped it was a real listing (then when I saw the price I hoped it wasn't!). I might have found a PGK on Ebay in a used Tower of Toa set. These are images from the seller. I'm not certain that it is Pearl Gold, but I showed the seller Crezdonn's photo, and the seller said it was Pearl Gold. I bought it, I'll just resell it if it isn't Pearl Gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any sold besides the one on Reddit, so it's fairly hard to get. I could have put a price tag of $10000 on there, I don't think it would really affect the price.

InkAlchemist1994 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) I really hope it's just the lighting! It looks closer to Pearl Gold than Flat Dark Gold to me, so we'll see when it gets here from Russia.

Crezdonn Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 It definitely looks more like pearl gold but I still don't think it's bright enough. Maybe it's worth asking to see if he has an actual pearl gold piece and to place them side by side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After you listing went up for a while there were a couple of PGKs that were listed for around £800. They never sold and got taken down though. I think it just encouraged people to sell them for a high price :3 Also, if you're a resident of the UK and like Bionicle, go ahead and join us at this awesome Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BFUK7/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crezdonn Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 What? Seriously? Was this on eBay or Bricklink, because I never got any email notifications for that item on Bricklink. Maybe I should add a disclaimer that it's not worth that much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should add a disclaimer that it's not worth that much...I found it on Ebay... I asked almost all of the sellers selling an opened 'Tower of Toa' set if I could see a picture of just the mask and whether they thought it was pearl gold or flat dark gold. A seller in Russia sent me those photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkAlchemist1994 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 UPDATE: The Ebay seller that assured me that the mask was Pearl Gold was incorrect. I am still looking for a Pearl Gold Kraahkan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkAlchemist1994 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 I got my hands on a PGK! $27 in an Ebay auction. The seller had a lot of five pearl gold masks (one of which being a PGK) for sale last week. I was in a bidding war and lost out; it sold for $76. The seller listed the same lot this past week, and I won it! If you need one of these, keep an eye on: http://www.ebay.com/usr/legoderanged_atjax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
