I actually decided to try and order one from aliexpress, we´ll see if/when it arrives.
Seeing that Lego sells neither replacement parts nor the sets anymore, i thought i´d test it to see how it compares to the original ones i bought back in 2016.
Still it´s a shame that these knockoffs are like exact copies of Legos sets but still get sold everywhere...
I recently found one for just 10€ on Ebay kleinanzeigen, guess i was lucky
The best option seems to be to get them in a bigger collection of parts/figures or in places like the facebook marketplace
Going back through the 2016 Lego catalog i noticed a different Version of the Umarak Combiner Model in the german version
I can´t seem to find any relevant information on this on the Bionicle wikis...
for comparison:
the official Combiner Model on biosector01:

vs the version in my catalog:

Might try to build it someday since it seems more interesting than the official one
(btw pls tell me if i post this to the wrong thread, haven´t done anything on this forum since 2014)
I noticed the same, it seems odd to me that the much hated on G2 is so pricy.
Going back through old Catalogs i thought maybe i should get myself Tahu Uniter of Fire, which i considered quite pricy with its 19,99€ back then but...whoa thats a lot
