Best Collectible Bargain

[Obsessionist]

What is the best deal you ever got on a collectible Bionicle part? When I went to an engineering camp once, I had a teacher who had a box of donated Lego with a bunch of '01 mask pack masks in it. I asked her is I could by them from her, and she said that since they had been donated, she guessed that if I replaced them with more donated Lego, she would be fine with it. She mostly wanted the Lego for it's structuran stuff, though, so masks didn't do her much good. She accepted a bag of MegaBloks in exchange for a dozen or so masks and assorted bionicle parts, one of which happened to be a misprint red Ruru!

Nice. I once went to a Mindstorms camp and found a Kakama Phantoka. Wouldn't let me keep it though. Other than that, I got the red Bahrag Queen for 17 dollars off Ebay!

[Akuna Toa of Sonics]

I got my complete Muaka and Kane-Ra set for only $20 on eBay.

[-Blank-]

Well the greatest deal I ever got any Bionicle for was Malum, Toa Ignika, Kiina, Tanma and Nektann...for free.

[Sumiki]

My memory's already fuzzy on this, but I want to say that I got the Skopio for something like 70% off ... Can't forget my Disk of Time for MakutaFest '10 and my Metru-Blue-and-White swirled Great Miru from BrickFair '11, either.

[Based Goomy]

Once bought a Toa Mata from a garage sale for a dollar.

[Binary Code]

$16 for a shoebox full of about 60 mask pack Kanohi including a chrome Hau and two copper Hunas. It also had a bunch of other pieces and stuff (and Antroz!) thrown in, but the topic clearly was asking about collectibles, so... 10100101 BC 01000101

[GeluNumber1]

An unopened Gukko and Jalla for $15 at a thrift shop.

[Zarohum]

I found Gelu's chest armor laying on the sidewalk while walking my dog. I've had a few good deals, but none that were free.

When I was looking for some BIONICLE's on the internet, I had found a BIONICLE Power Pack (complete, with Chrome Rua) for € 10,00 (about $14,00 ).I've also got a long time ago a 2001 Maskpack with Christmas (that was also the only Maskpack I've ever got in my childhood). I've got 2 misprints in it: a Brown Ruru, and a Light Blue Kaukau!!

[Republic Commando Sev]

The best "Deal" I've gotten is a friend of mine gave me the complete set of the Gukko Bird and Jaller for free. Sev

[The Great Spirit DM]

I bought a Kanohi Nuva/Krana pack at full price... seven years ago. Yeah, that's it. Nostalgia... Noncollectably speaking, though, I bought Velika for 50 cents. My only ever bargain.

My mother found a huge box of Bionicle sets from '01 to '03 at the dump. After cleaning them off and throwing out the broken pieces, I found a lot of masks, including an infected Hau and the powerpack silver Hau. Plus I got a ton of extra Bionicle parts from it too.

[Aedai Rivin]

hmm.... I've gotten a set of masks (Turaga Nokama, Nuju, and Onewa) Teal Miru, Purple Pakari, and complete Jala Mctoran for 5 bucks in like 07. Besides that nothing. Rivin

My best bargain was from a friend. I traded him around five of my bakugan (which I wasn't really playing anymore,) in exchange for Photok (without his own sword, but with one of Solek's swords I believe,) another av-matoran jetpack, Kopaka Nuva (no mask or shoulder armor, and his only weapon is was Kopaka Mata's sword,) and Matoro McToran (no disk.) Obviously, the best part was Matoro (even without his disk, since I have a few kanohi from 2004,) and Kopaka Nuva. Best deal ever. Too bad he wouldn't trade his Jala McToran, but it was the only other one he had, so I can understand his reluctance.

From the dump? Wow, I've got to hang out there more if there are free Bionicle bits to be had! Of course, it may be the cheapest way to get Bionicle, but it sounds like you really had to work for them.

For about £10 on eBay, I got a big job-lot of pre-2004 pieces including: - 2003 Kraakhan- about 12 Kaukaus- about 6 Hunas- about 4 Rurus- about 20 tan Bohrok-limbs- 3 almost-built Rahkshi- about 5-canisters-full of other random pieces

[Eskeleto532]

Well in collectible terms, I didn´t have any kind of bargain, but set wise, my friend gave me Takanuva, Makuta and all the Toa Mata for free, only Onua and Pohatu were incomplete, but have since been completed.

[Makuta Matata]

I saw Whenua and Onewa Metru in a store for $5 each. In 2008.

[~Xemnas~]

My cousin gave me all of his Bionicles... for free! That's technically a "deal", right?

[Touko Fukawa]

I got a large box of bionicle sets including Pohatu, Onua, and Gali Nuva, a Trans-Green Miru, a Turahk, and a bunch of other stuff, for free from a kid who was clearing out.

[Kopekemaster]

Well, I got 32 LBs of LEGO (about half of which was Bionicle) for $35, I got 35 Bionicles for $20, I've gotten several for free, and I got a trans-blue noble Ruru for free.

[Aris621]

I remeber that I got a complete collection of the Turaga, Bohrok Va, and a lots of Krana. I'd got it on my birthday from a friend.

[banana92]

i got 2 makuta, 2 exo-toa both tarakava, pohatu, another tahu, kopaka (all mata) hafu, 3 bohrok, 2 bohrok kal, many masks, all form my friend, and for what, asking him for the blue pakari for $0.50 (all with masks too) i also got the kane-ra and makua sets for $35 at wal-mart

[Dralcax]

My friend gave me a Movie Edition Krahkaan for free. He thought it was a normal Kraahkan and gave it to me without negotiation.

[Peach 00]

Never gotten any masks, but I got all the Toa Nuva for about $100. They had been long extinct from any stores, and I believe it was around 07', so it was a pretty good deal for all six.
