Hope that Carapar head and Ehlek spine misprint find good homes, they're pretty sick.

Not sure if this belongs in this thread or if it's better suited for the eBay auctions thread, but: Another medium blue/Turaga blue Kaukau has turned up in a couple Facebook groups (Bionicle Maskposting & The Bionicle Marketplace). Seller is claiming the previous listing in a FB page sold for 4500 Euro. Am I cynical for thinking the rough equivalent of 5 grand USD is beyond the pale? I'm no stranger to dropping fat stacks on plastic and I know these aren't as ubiquitous as something like the brown Komau, but still.

Leaving this as I also already have a 5-hole. Given the prices of some of their other listings I wonder if they just don't realize what they have?

Thanks for the hot tip! Surprised it stayed up as long as it did, even with shipping it came out to less than Bricklink's cheapest lot.

Man, if that isn't a mood.

VP-BNCL-Shop. Dunno if they're the same person you're referring to.

Not eBay, but there's a seller on The Bionicle Marketplace page on Facebook taking bids for a medium blue Kaukau Kakama. EDIT: Got my mask names mixed up. Rookie mistake 🙃

Posting for the sake of posterity/record-keeping/bragging/etc; The brown Komau recently sold on Bricklink went to me. Compared to some other brown masks: Compared to another Komau (front): Rear comparison:

That's a shame; probably couldn't have afforded it anyway but was curious. Thanks for pointing me in the direction of that group though! 😀 EDIT: For anyone curious, the seller stated they received $2350 for the white Huna.

Is this on a specific page or just the general FB marketplace somewhere?

I'll be forever thankful I got 99% of the ludicrously expensive stuff out of the way and that now my main focus is mostly on esoteric stuff like combiner models and fanon builds but I wish I focused a bit more on collectibles like masks and whatnot. PGK is a very notable omission in my collection considering I have stuff like the 5-hole Kraahkan and 2015 Inside Tour mask.

As someone who did the bulk of their collecting in 2017 and came back to it a couple years ago I can't even begin to put into words what a mood this comment is.

While not as sought after as these two, I have a boxed/unopened Skull Scorpio with a gigantic "CLEARANCE $4" sticker from Walmart slapped on the front of it.

I've been out of the collector's loop for a while so I apologize if this digs up old drama or anything, but is this what happened with PGK's? Someone just listing the thing at increasingly absurd prices and buying it from themselves to drum up hype? I understand things get scarce over time but mentally I'm still trapped in 2017ish land where a couple hundred bucks for one was considered absurd.
