Iruini Nuva

Any chance you'd be willing to part with the Kakama/Komau in the photo as well? Also curious about the Quest for the Masks card, when it arrives and you can see it.

 

TWO NiB Toa Mata-Nuis?????

Yes ONE is good, but TWO is better! 

 

I'll start the bidding at $1.

Seriously jealous, lol.

Hey all, as the G1 sets continue to get rarer (especially sealed), what's your approach to striking a balance between preserving a collection and enjoying it (building and displaying models, MOCing, etc.).

For instance, I've long had a policy of opening my first copy of a set, and generally keeping the second sealed. As a result, I have some neat items like sealed Toa Mata, Bohrok, etc.

On the flip side, I recently cracked open a sealed Jaller Mahri (my first). It was one of the most fun builds I've seen in a long time, but I felt awful doing it.

How do you approach this issue?

Hey Flintsmith, when does the bidding end?

 

I still have all of my old Biotech files around if you need a copy (I see Havoc and The Insurgent on your list, for instance). Most of the sites are still live and accessible, too (www.insurgent-game.com, havoc.biotechgaming.com).

 

Crazy to see all these old filenames I remember.

 

Funny you should mention that Iruini, because it turns out I was just testing my copy of The Insurgent around the same time I noticed your post. Turns out, it's one of the few games that still runs perfectly. Good to see a familiar face. 

 

Haha, glad to see it's still kicking. I don't know if you've spoken with the BioMedia guys yet, but I could also probably host a web archive of all of these old games. I should probably dig through the BZP Software Library and see what's still there, too.

Hey B6, can you provide any further context for the judging in this contest? Beyond building interest, are they/you looking for set and production inspiration? Do you know if they're looking for a villain that runs in the $10-20 range vs. $60?
