TheFerg714 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hey, sorry to be that guy that joins a message board just to ask one question, but I have a slight conundrum, and I really have no idea who to ask, or if this is even the right place to ask said question... Anyway.. I used to be a huge Bionicle fan when I was a kid. I have quite the collection, especially of the stuff that came out between 2001 and 2004. I plan on selling most, if not all, of them, but I would like to keep a few just for nostalgia's sake. I'm specifically curious about (as the title suggests) whether the original Toa or Toa Nuva are worth more. I have a complete set of both, with all of the pieces, but no instructions or canisters. I do have the canister and instructions for Pohatu Nuva however. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Complete and in top condition, I'd say the Toa Mata (original Toa) are more valuable. The Nuva, for reasons I don't know, get overlooked from time to time.

Aanchir Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 According to the BrickLink price guides, the Toa Mata tend to sell for more (new and used alike). Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarkumen the Great Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Toa Mata are more iconic and sell for more, although if I had to keep one and sell the other I'd keep the Mata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToaTImeLord Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Toa Mata sell for more if you want to sell here on BZP go to the sell/trading topic.

Master Inika Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 The Mata are slightly older and arguably better sets for being more diverse. All the Nuva have in their favor is dual-action weapons and, since the Toa have been in that form for most of the story, I would say the Nuva are more iconic and story-relevant. But the Mata's benefits seem more valid from a resale perspective. Quote "You are an absolute in these uncertain times. Your past is forgotten, and your future is an empty book.

BrickDreamer Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Toa Mata, as they're more iconic, and being the very first wave, less people would have gotten them because it was an unknown theme at the time. Age also has its advantages, as newer fans would want to get the original six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imnotactive Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) To me, I would pay more for the Mata than i would for the Nuva, probably just because i want to collect the originals first. the nuva are pretty cool though.
