Glad you got verification and I hope to get my hands on one of those masks one day... I know you were looking for Kraata but I doubt you'd be willing to trade your Pearl Avohkii for them

I'm a bit out of the loop on these, what are they and why are they fake?

sadly no, my avohkii is 100% a keeper, it's the crown of my collection, and i'm entirely done with both set and wild kraata! they're all just vibing in a tower i built em. i'm still looking for prototype and misprint kraata, but the avohkii wouldn't be a trade i would make. i have other things i'm interested in selling or trading, but none of them are prototypes.

I doubt they're the same background. Both look like they're sitting on pretty standard black poster board paper. I have a sheet that I use to take pictures of stuff with that looks pretty similar to both of those backgrounds being used, and the one from Bricklink even has the bent edge of the paper in it. Also, Eduardoji is selling from the US while Bionicle Universe is in the Netherlands. They're most likely different pieces, and like Letagi said it's highly likely a bunch of them were also out there at Lego or with employees.

Also, Eduardoji's story isn't that far out there. Binkmeister did work for Lego at least at one point as a webmaster (not sure he ever handed any of the masks out himself at the same convention he gave them to Black Six), and it's possible the seller is misremembering Black Six from a convention as a Lego employee.

Anyone else intrigued about the toothbrush stuff though? Bionicle Universe claims that they were used as test pieces for the toothbrushes, and Eduardoji apparently collects toothbrushes per his Ebay profile. Just a weird coincidence.

Eduardo is legit. I've been talking to him for over a year now, since Korea_Nui got three of the prototype Avohkii's off him for 200 bucks. Eduardo was a Colgate employee who designed many of the bionicle toothbrushes, and had several nonproduction pieces stored away, which is where the Avohkii's came from. the ones in the Binkmeister bag likely were from the same batch but just went to different people who were involved in product design, one of which was Eduardo. he's a legit seller, is the point, I recently received my prototype Avohkii from him and it looks entirely real, matches the others I've seen online. he even had design sketches of some of the unreleased 2003 brushes. Really cool stuff, but he likely has very little left, and after Bionicle Universe listed his for 30x more than he paid Eduardo for it, i don't think he's going to be eager to sell what he has left.

Right-o. I think it's interesting how the vohtarak shell from the Battle of Metru Nui set was also made in Pearl Gold from the switch happening, but the pearl gold Keelerak shell never happened. I guess early on sales data on the Battle Ram indicated that it wasn't super popular and Lego thought, naaah, we're not making more of these.

That's likely the case, though I kind of wish it weren't, I've got a few dark gold keelerak shells and I wouldn't mind a pearl gold one lol

I found one listing of the disk for $15 in 2016. The five hole Kraahkan that I known of where sold for $175,200 and $275. These where in perfect condition sold on eBay with a 18% Markup on the price set by the seller. These where Buy It Now and Best Offer sales options.

Do you mean "$175, $200 and $275" ? I cannot imagine one ever selling for $175,200 haha

Also I love that you made a list of the PGK prices, I think I'm the $129 one in 2021!

I paid about 100 CAD for my 5 hole Kraahkan, was just last year, no idea on the 175 Kanoka but mysteriouspi is probably right on that!

I have a 5-hole Kraahkan. First post in this thread says it's worth about $100, but someone offered me $200 plus a Pearl Gold Kraahkan (worth $300-1200) for mine. I'm not sure what's it's actually worth, but I hope this helps.

This is absolutely insane, the PGK has been known to sell for several times the five hole Kraahkan alone... Wild. Some people don't know what to offer for things, which I can relate to something but this is unbelievable

Alright, sweet! Feel free to DM me when you're ready to buy!

Let me know if interested, I ship from Canada and everything except the stuff priced by offer is first come first serve. Given I need the money sooner rather than later, I am really not looking to reserve things for far down the line, but you are welcome to ask. Shipping will be on the buyer but I'll make sure it's the cheapest I can get with Canada Post that will give you what you want with regards to tracking, insurance and shipping times! Feel free to message or comment with any questions. Thanks!!

******, where do you even find stuff like this? Those are awesome.

I wish I could say magic haha. I had to drive (or more accurately, have my girlfriend drive) 2.5 hours both ways to go get em, but it was the same source as most of the prototypes on the list.

See a new notification here reminded me, I haven't posted my prototypes I acquired this year... Two of them aren't actually mine, the launcher and the skrall blade, those are my girlfriend's but eventually when we move in together our collections will combine and they'll be reunited lol.

Pictured are a rough design prototype of the midak skyblaster, a skrall blade with a medium blue looking decorational part in the center, a 2007-style glow in the dark inika chestplate (Jaller/Kongu/Hahli's one), yellow shadow leech, and a weirdly coloured thornax fruit. The thornax is some sort of foggy but translucentish white with black bits, including the thorns and one circular area on one side, and all the black is rubber. None are for sale ever just to be clear but I thought it's nice to add to the known prototypes!! That list is already tantalizing, let's make it even better haha. I can take better pictures of my three prototypes if needed, and can ask the same of my girlfriend

oh i want these so badly too... if you find a seller who has more than one of any of them, please let me know!!

it really is, i had a miserable time, it's filled with people listing the colours wrong (or just not at all) but it's typically the fastest way to find em. i can ask some others i know were collecting if they have extras for trade/sale if you like, although it's unlikely they'll happen to have the ones you're looking for

I checked my duplicates, unfortunately I don't have any of these as extras. I assume you've tried bricklink? they can be miserable to track down there but it's worth checking for the final seven

oh for sure. i think it would be really cool to have sealed mask packs too, especially of all the eye colours.

if those are the 01 packs you have junglejunggames, those could have the light blue kaukau, although the chances are veryy low

i'm pretty sure he owns two, and sold the other to someone else. he at least had two but i remember him having three, as he does. dunno how he gets all that stuff.

i did end up getting one of socketball's lovely pearl gold avohkii casts, but am still definitely looking for this prototype for my collection if anyone ever has one for trade or anything!

nice to see you're almost there too, i'm only missing cyclone as well, though not any of the ones you are. i'll check my spares for any of these ones but i doubt i have any of them, i only just got my first stage 5 cyclone and cyclones are rare in general, but i'll check c:

can i trade ?? I contacted you on tumblr, but you didn't see it 

feel free to DM me, DM's are always open, especially if you have what i'm looking for! I checked my tumblr and didn't see anything from you i don't think but tumblr hardly works these days haha

It's probably some form of copper color as 2003 had the Krana Kal in copper and the promotional copper masks of victory. The copper Krana Kal look to be golden colored in many instances, hope this helps, I'm getting most of the Krana in the mail soon, so I hope I'm right.

they do look quite gold but are in fact copper, besides the flat dark gold ones. however i've been told since that there's actually a difference between the reddish gold of the light gold avohkii and the copper colour used for KK sets and the krana. i won't know for sure unless i get my hands on one though!

Hi again, sure. I also included another one I just found.

ah shoot. i'm sorry, i was wrong, the gold one isn't the one i thought it was. sorry for wasting your time :c thank you so much for entertaining my search for kraata!

25 minutes ago, ToaRachmaninuva said:

These are probably the "interesting" ones. The rest are just the common ones you get from the rahkshi. Not sure that's of any interest to you. Just to specify because the photo is not very clear, two are orange/black and two are gold/black.

thank you for the swift reply and the picture!! i think at least one of these is one i need, the second from the right (gold head). it's just hard to tell what head pattern it is. do you have any better pictures of them?
