So did i win? haha I'm excited for these, It'll be good to have a finished set of kraata again! Compared to what i did have at one point: Those are two seperate sets, one of them is on plexi glass and the other is on the carpet, i sold my finished set trying to get my first car to TLH and i recently sold my incomplete set to help fund my Platinum Avohkii escapade. I miss the little worms! MC

I'll start them off i suppose, $700 for the full set!

Thanks! I actually have the Platinum Avohkii and the Solid Gold Hau. I have yet to obtain the white huna, but I'm actually working out some details for the white huna now, hopefully it will be mine soon. Mc

All Krana are rubbery, except for the metal krana kal (SSKK and WMKK), the grey plastic krana kal (GPKK) and the vacuum metal krana kal (VMKK)

Hey guys, this is the start of my newest trade topic, I'm planning on opening up a Museum/Gallery dedicated to Bionicle. Seeing as how i already have the Platinum Avohkii, and the Solid Gold Hau, the rest of my wants shouldn't be to difficult to find, short of a few key pieces. I'll be updating sometime today hopefully and will have an official list, i just thought i would start the topic today and see if i can spark some interest. Wants: Here is where I will put everything I need. Sets: Collectibles: Kanohi: Kanohi Nuva: Krana: Kraata: Rares: Kanohi: White Huna Brown Komau Metru Blue Matatu Metru Red Huna UK Misprints(Don't need Blue or Brown Matatu) Krana Sterling Silver Krana Kal (SSKK) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/TLH/Collectibles/Krana/sskk.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/TLH/Collectibles/Krana/sskk_back.jpg Grey Plastic Krana Kal (GPKK)Vacuum Metal Krana Kal (VMKK) Gold Kanoka: Haves: Sets: Collectibles: I'll be updating again tonight with a more official list. Thanks MC

You guys don't know the half of it...lol I'm just kidding, but I'm going to post a picture here before to long. Mc

I made a video review of the Solid Gold Hau a while back, if anyone is interested. Just thought I'd mention it. Mc

Not a problem man, you helped me in getting the Platinum Avohkii! I think its only fair! Haha. I need to get the MEK again now, wish me luck haha

I think TLH and Roger C-T should be on that list of dedicated fans, just for their collections, but also because of their rare pieces. Of course not to sound arrogant, but i think my name belongs on the list with TLH and Roger C-T, I'm opening up a Bionicle Gallery, and i own a lot of really rare stuff from bionicle's past (SGH, and the PA ect.) But yes! You get my point. MC

If it is your last resort, and he will only sell it for that much. then go for it, but you will have to have a lot of stuff to sale, i sold a good amount of rares from my collection to get the Platinum Avohkii, not including non Bionicle stuff i sold, and saving funds from my job as well! Good Luck, but wait for the Reddit guy to respond. You never know, luck may be on your side! MC

I myself wouldn't pay that for a gold hau, and I own one! the Platinum Avohkii was different because it was so rare and do valuable, but the gold hau, even being as rare as it is still isn't worth ten thousand euros. Mc

Hehe, I know who your talking about, but when I talked to him months ago the price tag was different, to say the least. Before I had my hau, I was considering buying his, but for the price he wanted I kept looking around And eventually stumbled into mine. Mc Edit: The person your taking with also offered to loan his to me for my gallery as a guest exhibit

Absolutely beautiful! I would love to have the SSKK for my collection and soon to be gallery! Keep yours eyes pried open my friend!

Here it is guys! the video is finally done! Link:http://youtu.be/xcpjfhwsRX8 MC

Thanks! It took a long time to get, but it was easily worth it. A lot of people think I'm rich or something now, haha. The only rare pieces I'm missing now are the VMKK, GPKK and the ever elusive SSKK. I had all 8 VMKK, but I sold them to help fund the Platinum Avohkii. You wouldn't be willing to sell or trade yours anytime soon though I'm guessing? Mc EDIT: I'm gonna upload the video tonight after I'm off work! Stay tuned!

Three troy ounces of solid platinum, or about 93.31 grams. Mc

Hey guys! So, finally after about 1 months time since i purchased the Platinum Avohkii, the video and pictures are finally done! Sorry for the delay, the second half of the video was giving me some major problems, but its finally done, it was over 16 hours and had over 1780000 frames. along with the interview with Caleb Raff, Owner of "The Brick Hutt" the Lego hobby shop in Santa Rosa, California. So needless to say, this video and pictures, should really do some justice on the lack of documentation for the Platinum Avohkii. My official topic for the Platinum Avohkii, Posted Oct 31 2013 - 12:27 PM, was when I decided I would go for it, and if things weren't looking good after a little while, i would just give up. I knew about the Platinum Avohkii being for sale on ebay over a year ago due to this article from BZP: http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/8567-legendary-platinum-avohkii-shines-on-ebay/ luckily for me, the community of BZP was generous enough to help me out, along with some Parkour Classes and my job, the Platinum Avohkii was a feasible task. One of My best friends, and life long Bionicle fan, Mihai Cernetescu, stayed the night the day before. We were both pretty dang excited, Then our other really good friend Trenton Taylor, Who is also i huge Bionicle fan, and Fellow BZP Member(Dragoon973) met up with us at my house the next day at 5:00 AM, We left my house at 5:15AM, The car loaded with a cooler for food and drinks, we were ready for the long adventure!, we stopped for gas in Salt Lake city at about 7:30 AM, Meeting the Final Person to join us on our journey, A Good pal, and fellow Parkour Athlete Scott Rowell. We hadn't seen him in a few months, he knew I was going to try to get the Avohkii and when I told him it was time, we both thought it was a good excuse to see each other and hang out again. So after Picking him up we didn't stop for almost 250 Miles, our next stop was just for some lunch and gas in Elko, Nevada. After eating for about an hour and getting back on the road, the Journey only had one final stop, our Meeting destination. Battle Mountain, Nevada. A small town almost exactly in the middle of Santa Rosa, and Roosevelt Utah. (Myself and friends are all from Roosevelt) It was ideal because weather conditions and the fact that it was only 10 minutes off of being the exact middle. So when we arrived in Battle Mountain, we were just excited to be out of the car. We arrived to BM at about 11:45 AM, What we all forgot and didn't realize was that after we got there, we still had to wait about an hour due to time zone changes, and Caleb stopping for gas and lunch as well. So anxiously we waited, and waited, and waited! It seemed to have gone by so slow, every minute taking what seems to be an hour, Finally the time had come. He was only about 5 minutes away! Soon as his car rolled up to the gas station where we met, we all went up and said our hello's, after shaking hands with the man I had known over Email, Text messaging and Phone call's, he was just as awesome as I expected. So now the time came for the transaction, Slowly pulling the Legendary Platinum Avohkii out of his pocket, for the first time in my life, I laid eye's on what once I would call my Childhood dream come true. The Uncomfortable part came soon after, myself having $15000 Cash in a bank sleeve in my pocket, after seeing the piece, I pulled out the sleeve, gave it to Caleb's daughter, and we walked to the back of the car while he showed us the news paper article that he was featured in for the piece, the display case, all the paper work he had for the piece. Soon after, his daughter came and verified that the amount of cash was correct, and at that moment, Caleb looked over to me and said "Alright man, here you go, the Platinum Avohkii is yours" I never thought i would hear those words in my life. When i was a child, i knew about the Solid Gold Hau, and i begged my parents to buy it for me on Ebay way back in the day. I heard about the Platinum Avohkii and remember showing Mihai the pictures of chase and saying "Here is the rarest Bionicle/Lego piece ever made, we probably will never see it, or get to touch it, and we will never own it" and now here i am more then a decade later and it is mine. So after signing the the bill of sale, we said our good bye's and left, to cut to the chase,we got home at almost 10:00 PM that same day, it was a trip full of laughs and good times.I couldn't have done it without all the people from BZP who gave me support in my trade topic. Big shout out to Huh, Takanuva1988, Kayru, Omega12, Gonny, Krana_Enthusiast, Xelphene, Tritoa, Nocturn701 and everyone else! Your offers were fair, and you helped me out tremendously, i cannot thank you enough! And of course, I couldn't have done it without support from my two friends, Mihai and Trenton, I wouldn't have been able to get the Platinum Avohkii without these two, there is always people in your life who will be your friends, no matter what happens, and you two are most definitely that!

Andre: AKA MC

Hey I know this is off topic, but I can't message you, so I'll just post it My name is Andre. I'm the owner of the Platinum Avohkii, I remember reading a long time ago that you made a display for the Solid Gold Hau for kelly? I remember seeing your custom kanohi and I was wondering of you have any rare collectibles or custom stuff left? I'm planning on opening a gallery for my finished collection once I rebuild it, and I would love to have some customs of yours for it. Thanks Mc

Very impressive collection! I myself am only missing the vmkk and gpkk for my collection, I had all 8 vmkk but I sold them to get the Platinum Avohkii. I really hope that one day I'll have these as well. Your not by chance gonna be willing to trade or sell these any time soon are you? And do you have any other rare collectibles, some you might be willing to trade or sale perhaps? Mc

Yeah, sorry for the delay guys, the video is finally about done, I'll upload it to You tube as soon as it is finished. MC

I have figured it out, it's just taking a while because I have to render the whole video about 3 times to get the speed effects I want. I'm using pinnacle audio 16. Mc

I'm a he, the video file was actually 16 hours long, 1780000+ frames, plus the interview, I'm trying to hurry but the file is so long that it got corrupted at points, and I moved into a new house just barely as well. But I'll post the video soon. Mc

Hello all, so I have a request for anyone who could help me, I'm looking for pictures of all of the iconic places on Mata Nui so I can build them out of my spare parts. It's going to be the where I put all of my 2001 sets on display, and I would really like some help with this. So if any of you have or can link since pictures of iconic places on Mata Nui, it would be extremely helpful, I'll post pictures of my progress as I go. Thanks Mc

Thanks guys, My video is rendering now, but it had over 1 million frames, so i have to render it one more time, and then it will work. I'll post a new topic and have the video and all the pictures to go along with it. Thanks again guys MC

It is a chrome plated plastic kanohi, it is not metal. Mc
