There are so many misprint Kraata and most of them are probably undocumented. Quality control on them was pretty bad. I doubt anyone has a full set only because every time one pops up it's a new one that no one previously knew about.

What price range are you looking for with the Brown Komau?
-
Is this still for sale?

The white one doesn’t look like anything special, just a little off color. The red one is pretty cool though, I haven’t seen one like it before!
The color is way more off in person, this picture was taken on a low end phone from 2018 in a room with terrible lighting so it doesn't do the best job conveying the color properly. It definitely doesn't look like an Anger Slug.

These were purchased in bulk, it would be very improbable that the original owner managed to pull ~50 misprints of the same kind, that’s the big thing pointing these to being prototypes. Do you have pictures of yours?
Ah, didn't realize they were bought in bulk.
Here's my Kraata, the white one is two-toned (I misremembered) but the colors still don't match up to any of the official ones, and the red one is actually missing some pigmentation in the front, the some of the stud connector and some bits of the face are transparent: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2F6hlllklgnhv51.jpg%3Fwidth%3D3120%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Df33be4a8caa6b2e21075301b51430a961ce5a630

I've gotten a few solid color Kraata from Bricklink in the past, I've got an all red one and a whiteish gray one that doesn't really match any of the official colors. Do we know for a fact that these are prototypes and not just misprints? Quality control on Kraata was all over the board, so many of them barely have one of their two colors so I suspect misprints are way more common than you'd think.

I don't have pictures handy since I don't have my collection with me these days but the Krana yellow is super inconsistent. Purples are too but that one's more well known.

I originally had decided to make sure I had both versions of the purple ones, but if this is the case and there's variation across all of them, I'll just quit where I am, and officially say that my krana collection is complete!
I'm a bit late to the party, but tbh I can barely notice the difference between Purples. Yellows are really obvious to me though, so I dunno if it's just my eyes or what.

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.
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 have it on good authority from someone who has had quite a bit of contact with the eBay seller that it is real.
I'm a bit out of the loop on these, what are they and why are they fake?

Yo hook me up with your slug guy, I got a few requests for him

I have both guides as well as a professional scanner that scans in ~8K resolution. I can provide scans for preservation. Only issue is most of my Bionicle stuff is back at my parent's house in bins and boxes and not where I can easily access it.
-
Shoot me a message with whatever range you're looking for.
-
Is this still available?
-
The Spinners pop up on Bricklink or eBay occasionally, so keep looking and you'll get lucky sooner or later.
As for the sponge, I own the only one currently known online afaik. Good luck finding it, and good luck affording one if you do.

I am willing to pay $100 if you still have your extra, I’ve been trying to find one for my collection
I've turned down offers of four times as much. And unfortunately, I just traded mine away a few weeks ago
-
Thanks! And wishing you the best with finding the ones you still need.

Are you still missing these? It looks like a stage 2 is in this eBay lot:
Also if you guys have spare Kraata to sell please let me know as I'm 75% complete.
Those are actually the opposite - Cyclone is Metal Blue head to Light Grey tail, these are Light Grey head to Metal Blue tail
Not to worry though, since the same seller had another lot with Cyclone 2 in it that I snagged this weekend. That was the last Kraata I needed, so I've got a full set now!

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
******, where do you even find stuff like this? Those are awesome.
-
I'll check my collection this weekend if I can. I only need one to complete my set, a Cycle 2 (Metal Blue/Light Gray). I'd be open to trade if I have slugs you need/you have that one!
-
How much do you want for the green Nuva parts?
-
I'm missing Stage 2 and 3 and that's all, it's crazy how rare they are. Had an easier time getting my hands on a Trans Orange Kraata or two as it would turn out.

I know that I have Cyclone kraata, I can check soon if any are Stage 6, if the trade is still open.
If you have any Stage 2 or 3's I'd be interested.

What would your offer be? I have two and I have no plans to sell either at the moment but I might for the right price.

Does your full set of RoboRider wheels include the elusive Gold Wheels?

$1500-$2000. It's rare but I don't think you could justify much more for plastic personally. I imagine this will be an easy mask to counterfeit down the road too, fan made mask recolors are getting really good.
