Turaga Majice Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 With BIONICLE coming back and the Mask of Creation in the fore, I'm looking back at my collection of legendary kanohi. And I notice that while I have, like, all the variations of the Ignika, I have not even one Vahi. And that seems just wrong. I've got an orange vahi on the way, but I want me that gold one. I want it bad. I'm willing to negotiate on price. I can offer money, and I suppose I can offer pieces as well, but I really don't have anything rare to trade; just a decent amount of duplicate parts. Side Question: Just so I know what I'm getting into precisely. Does the gold vahi have a plus-rod connector (having been made in 2005), or does it have the circle-connector that 2001-2002 masks had?

Methaxx Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) It has the original masks' circle connector as it was first released in set form in 2002, if I'm not mistaken. I recently got my hands on one so I know as much. Edited September 21, 2014 by Methaxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makuta Miras Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) If you want a gold Vahi, then I believe that BZP member huh has a few spares; I've just bought one off him myself. And by the way, do you happen to have any multiples of the Toa Mata Nui Ignika? I'm actually trying to get a full Legendary Kanohi collection as well.

UnderscoreChronix Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 The Vahi wasn't made in 2005, it was actually made before Bionicle started I think, and it was the first Mask LEGO ever designed and it was originally going to be worn by Tahu Mata.

bioniclepluslotr Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Is that the one that comes with the special Vahki? I think I have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turaga Majice Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the info, guys. I sure do hope I'll still be able to make use of the vahi in MOCs with the new BIONICLEs a-comin'. That's one of the reasons I wanna get a gold one. Orange doesn't go with a lot of other colours, but gold can go with just about any of them. If you want a gold Vahi, then I believe that BZP member huh has a few spares; I've just bought one off him myself. And by the way, do you happen to have any multiples of the Toa Mata Nui Ignika? I'm actually trying to get a full Legendary Kanohi collection as well. I'll give him a PM, thanks! I have duplicate Toa Pohatu, Lewa, Kopaka, Gali, Tahu, Onua, Makuta Antroz, Vamprah, Chirox (two duplicates, apparently), upon inspection. No extra Ignika. Sorry, man. Is that the one that comes with the special Vahki? I think I have one.Yeah. My research says it came with special vahki canisters, as well as in an "Ultimate Creatures Accessory Set" tub. I could buy one of those on ebay for $200, which gives two of them, two discs of time, and a whole bunch of old parts that I'm not sure I could find use for. So far, I'm hoping to get a better deal than that, with the kind folks here. If you're interested in selling yours, please lemme know!

bioniclepluslotr Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Are there different variants? I eBayed it and it looks bright orange, not gold. Mine is the gold one. Edited September 21, 2014 by bioniclepluslotr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55555 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Are there different variants? I eBayed it and it looks bright orange, not gold. Mine is the gold one.Yes, there are two different colors. The Orange Vahi were promotional masks available in 2001-2002. The Gold Vahi were included in specially marked Vahki, I believe they were exclusive to Toys R Us. In the story, the original Mask of Time was gold colored, but after the Metru Nui saga it was cracked and damaged by seawater so it turned Orange. - John Fives' Kanohi Shop BuildLikeABoss.Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makuta Miras Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) The gold one: According to the official collectibles topic, the gold Vahi is worth about five times more than the orange one. (I think; don't quote me on that.)[Edit] Just checked, and the Gold Vahi is only worth double the orange one.
