ToaofIron Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I remember once i bought a toa norik online, but the rhotuka wouldn't fire. I looked at the ripcord, and it had no teeth! I ended up buying one off my friend, so a $20 set turned into a $25 because he tried to rip me off. what's the cheapest thing that's happened to you when buying bionicle?

Peach 00 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 About $165 for all six Toa Nuva in 2008 with some missing parts, and then two days later, I see a deal for all six, including a few extra masks, and even two more Toa Nuva with it for extra parts and masks. Price? $82.50. Not kidding when I'm saying it was half price. Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

Always. Quote profiles i guess i'm a south american giant otter now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soran Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Found a Gukko and Jaller set online for $30. I didn't have any money and the item was about to end. I go to a friend's house and my mom decided to order it for me since I didn't have the money for it and I would pay her back. Turns out she ordered the wrong one. Now I have Jaller and a half built gukko which is missing 60% of it's parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexann Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 The worst deal I got was from TRU they sell the Bionicle and HF character for 2$ more then they do at Walmart with some sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratak Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Just once, and that was at TRU for the Space Police's biggest starship. I got it for $105, but when I opened the box, I realized that most of it was just big peices. I should probably have done some research.

Ektris Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 The worst I've experienced was receiving a gold Vahi with the stench of smoke so strong it could not be easily removed. And on top of that, it was bent. The smoke I found out about because of peer reviews. The bending was probably because of her horrible packing job.I haven't experienced anything else bad so far, but I've barely begun to scratch the surface of dealing with single people instead of buying at retail. As I continue, I wouldn't be surprised if I get another raw deal. They just happen.~|ET|~ Quote E-T... Phone home. "He walks among us, but he is not one of us."

Scrash Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I paid about ten dollars in a bidding for the Klakk set way back when. From 2009 and on, it went for about six bucks, shipped, on Bricklink. Quote plop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Warrior Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I don't know if this counts but...Got a great deal on Vultraz: $15 brand new....Turns out, the guy never shipped it (bought it a few months ago). I was robbed pretty much.Also, I let a $20 new Maxilos and Spinax pass by. Regret. Ended up paying $30 for a used one later on. Quote I AM A TOA OF SOUND.

Kopekemaster Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Well, I have seen some pretty bad deals at Wal-Mart, Borders, etc. But the worst one I have had is probably when my friend gave me some Bionicle sets/pieces, then came over later and took most of them back. It stunk. Quote My Writing Blog (more writing coming soon!)
