UnderscoreChronix Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I just noticed my name on the list of owners of a prototype Mata mask. *mumbles jealously* Why don't you just open a topic on buy/sell/trade to see if anyone has one? Maybe you'll find somebody who wants to trade. Because I can't afford to spend close to $1000 on a mask. That one you got on eBay was cheap. Prototypes like Craig's aren't as rare as things like the White Huna, and the White Huna only just manages the $1000 price. Besides, what's the harm in asking? You don't ask, you don't get. Simple as. A prototype Miru sold for $1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letagi Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 $1000 for just about any plastic mask is ludicrous, in my opinion. The solid gold Hau and platinum Avohkii are valuable for their metal in addition to the collectivity, so valuing those in the thousands of dollars makes sense. But the prototype 2001 masks should sell for a few hundred dollars at most, since there are several dozen of them out there. Also - check it out, we're on the fifth page of this topic.

Munty Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 You guys are missing the point. Super rare collectibles are worth whatever people are willing to pay for them. Are there really a couple dozen prototype Mata kanohi out there? Sounds like a pretty high figure. But even if there are, how many potential buyers do you think are also out there? It's all about supply and demand. If you have 1000 Trans Green Miru and only 500 people who want one then they sell for a few measly bucks. If you have a dozen prototype masks and hundreds of people who want them then the price is set by the market. And that price will inevitably continue to go up until all but one potential buyer is forced out of the race... That's why these things are valued so highly. They come around so rarely that you're essentially paying for the opportunity. If one came round every few months then you can just wait a little longer and save up. MC didn't have that option when he found the Platinum Avohkii for sale though, he had to sell huge parts of his collection to raise the money knowing that if he didn't get it then he probably NEVER would. Hence; super rare collectibles are worth whatever people are willing to pay for them... 1 Quote Check out my Bionicle store on Bricklink here!> > > Bionic Bricks < < < Let me know if you can help me find these last few collectibles!Also looking for WILD KRAATA and a VMKK Yo!!!

Grungemeister Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Great list, very in depth and comprehensive for collectors. Unless I'm mistaken, there should be a correction: "The market prices for all colours of Ruru and Matatu are generally considered to be roughly equal, with the exception of the black Ruru, which was later mass-produced and sold first with the Power Pack in 2001 and then the Matoran Hewkii set in 2003" Shouldn't that be Matoran Hafu? Anyway it's a good list and I learned about some pieces that I didn't know even existed.

Letagi Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed to be honest, since I might be getting one in a couple months from someone and by then it won't be as special. Ah well. But frankly, that photo that was on the TTV podcast wasn't conclusive at all. Am I the only one here that thinks it might not be a trans-orange Hau after all? It looks solid to me. I'll wait until more information becomes available before editing the entry.

Munty Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I just sold one for about $50 today but I think $30-40 is more reasonable while there are still quite a lot of them floating around... I'm not sure if it'll affect the guide but I think we've seen a marked rise in the price of VMKK lately with the last two selling for pretty much bang on $200. Getting a bit crazy imo but I think there are clearly more people vying for less items so I think we need to keep an eye on that in the future!

MartinCollects Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) It seems that you can put one hero pack in your cart like a normal product, (for the cost of 0,01) you can then add another standard product (For example a protector) And you will automatically get a second Hero Pack in the cart as a promotional offer.I am not sure if it works and that you will actually recieve 2 packs by doing this but on my final order it says that I got to buy 2 of them Edited February 1, 2015 by martin2988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanohi of jello Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Binkmeister Prototypes/MisprintsThey were always given out with the understanding that they were not to be sold; thus price estimates do not exist. That being said, is there any way to be able to get said prototypes/misprints? I don't want to drop tons of money on a single piece (they can't be sold anyways, so that removes that option), but something about them keeps calling me. Quote move along. nothing to see here.
