Steve the Squid Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Well since the other part of marketplace got closed down, I assume I'm allowed to talk about collecting stuff here? Dunno. There's probably a better place. Gata says that there's both "light yellow" and "dark yellow" krana, but neither are considered misprints. I can't find any other info on the topic. Anyone?

Art Vandelay Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) There are light and dark purple Krana, but the two yellow variations is totally news to me! Edit: BIONICLE Sets and Collectibles would be a better place for this. Edited August 16, 2013 by Trydeltix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Six Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Let's toss this over to Bionicle Sets and Collectibles...{Also I haven't heard of variations in the yellow Krana either.) Quote Bio of a BZP Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahkshi Guurahk Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Could you show me a quote of Gata saying that?

Brappy Hour Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 It's more harder to tell the difference between the two shades of yellow than the Purple Krana. At least for me.And by difference, I mean a pain in the rear. It's hard enough trying to find the Purple Krana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahkshi Guurahk Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Ironically for me my two purple krana, both Za I can tell apart easily, one has more blue.

Steve the Squid Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Here's the flickr post where gata said it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35153442@N02/4042832282 I'm thinking about starting my krana collection. Not actively trying to get them, but at the very least collecting passively, and avoiding repeats. And working out the best stand. I figure if I'm gonna do it, I better do it right. So yeah. I've certainly heard of the different purples, but gata is the only person I can find who says that there's different yellows. (though it looks like raptor agrees.) Is there any reference or documentation for this? I couldn't find any, and I found it odd that no krana checklists I found have the different yellow listed.

Art Vandelay Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I have a full set, but I have to look through the yellow ones to see if these are in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve the Squid Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 I just looked again at the krana checklist: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/CubeMaster/Checklists/all_krana.pngThe pahrak-va krana are tan, right? So that's not it... What's so weird is why does nobody know about this? Normally stuff like this is either common knowlege, or doesn't exist. So why is it like some secret? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatanui Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) That picture is a bit outdated. :PThere are definitely two shades of yellow. My guess is they changed the plastic at some point. The "light yellow" Krana appear to be rarer, but not as rare as to be considered misprints. To be honest, I've always found the diffence between the yellow shades more obvious than the purple shades.-Gata Edited August 16, 2013 by Gatanui Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

I think I do have a full set but I'm missing a silver Kanohi Nuva and a light blue Za (that one's tough to get for some reason ). I don't have full sets of yellow Krana in both shades, though. I could try a comparison shot if you want (and if Trydeltix isn't faster ).-Gata Edited August 16, 2013 by Gatanui Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

It would be worth it for a full collection IMO And the Za should be hard at all if you bricklink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve the Squid Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Oh yeah, I always forget about country filters on bricklink. I didn't have a filter on, but there were still like 20, I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klanadack Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I do have almost a full set.Upper more matt (dark yellow). Bottom row light yellow.The difference in the picture is minimal, but visible. The difference between the purple and the yellow is that the purple was supposedly intentional, but the yellow was not. Quote Chuck Norik is no match for Bruce Lhikan!

Lyichir Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Yellow and purple are both colors which are notorious for inconsistency, especially in parts from that era and parts in unusual materials like Krana. It doesn't surprise me that the Krana in those colors would have inadvertant variations.

Toa Lhikan Hordika Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Wow, I have to say that I'm disappointed in myself for not catching this sooner. I took a really close look at my Tahnok Va Krana and there were definitely two shades of yellow in my set. Gonna have to order some extras on Bricklink and hope that I get the right variations to complete the two sets. Nice find! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reya Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Nice find!I just want to point out that there are different shades of Shadow Kraata - like the Krana - and so 259 is not a complete set. I only discovered this when I was selling them. One of them was darker than the rest. If anyone has a some Shadow Kraata, could you compare them just to verify this?

I've started PMing people who I know have full sets to check it out. Maybe it is just a coincidence but from my experience when it comes to collectibles, there isn't many coincidences.
