randomreviewerbros Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Now that BIONICLE is returning in 2015 do you think the old sets will go higher up in value than they already are worth?I personally think they will as new fans will realize there are older sets and want to buy some of them just for nostalgia Quote Go check out our Youtube channel!

Archon~ Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yes.Not only has it been a trend in past years, but now when it's coming back and when the old sets become even more rare, value will go up, while the people who have them will go down. Basic supply and demand laws really. 1 Quote Archon *** "For one to truly feel alive, the person must kill oneself a little bit each and every day."

Banana Gunz Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Sadly, they probably will get more expensive. I'm wondering by how much the prices will go up though...

Kaxix Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Probably yes, but I don't think the return of the serie will make such a big impact on prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bioniclepluslotr Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I haven't been able to find very many brand new sets for sale on eBay. They're mostly opened and sold for half price. Those that are like $100s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea-rex Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Most complete (all six and opened) range from £35 - 60.Ones with boxes go from £20 - 80.Ones without boxes go from £10 - 40.Unopened ones go from £60 - 200.So, unfortunately, it will go up in price, seeing as I got all six Toa Nuva for £10 in late December 2010, and they are now worth £45.Sorry bud.Although, now would be the best time to buy them before the release, because news is only just reaching the ears of eBay from what I can see.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Probably. I mean, some of the prices on the sets are already crazy. Toa Mata are probably going to be worth a lot, now that fans new and old alike might try to explore the origins of Bionicle. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea-rex Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Thankfuly my birthday is coking up soon (October 7th *_*), and I asked for money (and comic con tickets XD), so I might be able to buy some of the sets before they go through the roof. Hopefully. And if my dad also agrees to it, although he says I have too many of them. (I have about 30?).

Ragnar Lothbrok Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I've just ordered the 6 original Toa Mata from Bricklink, and they're all in the range of £7-£11 pounds each already. So yes, it will probably rise again after the new line is launched next year. Quote Twitter: @enkindle_this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin_verceles Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Definitely. For a long time, Bionicle wasn't exactly considered the most popular Lego franchise after it discontinued, though now that it's coming back in 2015, it's likely that it'll get back up there in popularity. Not only will it fork in new fans with it's science-fiction/mythological story, but it will also fork in old fans like me who are too nostalgic to not pay attention. This will also cause old fans to maybe tend to their nostalgia a little bit more by collecting some of the older sets, hence hightening the prices. The newer fans will also become curious when the find out that there were old Bionicle sets in the first place, and will likely want to collect those as well as the old sets.

bioniclepluslotr Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Go up in value. As in $100+ generally on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyori Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 In case anyone's interested, Amazon has quite a few unopened sets available: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dtoys-and-games&field-keywords=bionicle&sprefix=bionicl%2Ctoys-and-games Although, as you can see, the prices are pretty high. But if you opt to just wishlist someting and keep an eye on it, there's a chance someone will bring in one at a lower price. That's what happened with Takanuva for me. He's been sitting at 120 USD at the lowest for the past few years, but yesterday I found someone selling a new one for just 80, so I snagged it right then. So it comes down to how lucky you are and/or how much of a gamble you want to take with waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
