Vraiment Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) I always have this dream that I'm in a store with every single Bionicle set that was ever sold.This sounds...like a dream I have? I've had those dreams! Except most of the time it's not every set ever, just every set from one or two lines. Just a few weeks ago I found all the Visorak and Hordika in a Lowes. ...Yes, you read that correctly, a Lowes. Don't ask me why. Did you get anything? No, the dream consisted (as I recall; dreams are tough to remember entirely) of me being amazed that they still had the sets. I used to dream that before starting buying sets by eBay. Some dreams I'd get into the store hoping to complete my collection, but only sets that I already had would be available. In topic: When I visited Madrid, some random toy boutique had some Turaga and Bohrok Va, I bought one of each available!

Saint-14 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 While not recently, I used to find a lot of bootleg Rahaga at my local Dollarama. I sometimes do find sets at second-hand stores, although they are usually loose BZPRPG: Akamu, Toa of Ice Talk to me about Destiny!

Daler99 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Back in 2010, I stumbled across a store that was selling Tahu Mata, Gali Mata, Whenua Hordika, Visorak Boggarak, Exploriens, UFO, Knights Kingdom 2, etc.! :D I purchased Tahu, Gali, and a UFO set. What was the name of the store?I have no clue. I was on vacation in India. ~Daler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBBN Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I only get BIONICLES from thrift stores or online, but on the Sears website (if I remember right) I saw Krekka for a little more than 200$. (don't know if that counts though) Amazon still sells a bunch of older sets for very highly inflated prices. It's being sold from online retailers of course, but still they are sealed sets. Toa can run $60+, Boxed sets can go $180+, and some of the real large sets are upwards of $400+. What a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xan Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Once found a sealed set of Nui Jaga in a charity shop a long time ago. And now it's buried in the loft somewhere waiting to be sold one day. Edited February 15, 2015 by Craig B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kovika: Visorak Lord Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Saw a Takanuva Stars back in 2012, thing was buried away behind piles of HF sets. If my memory serves me well, then I think I saw Bitil in 2010 under a shelf stocked with City sets.

Dorek Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I found an Onepu in a French local store once in 2004. I should have cleaned out the whole stock of BIONICLE while I was there, but I was way too excited about Onepu, the one elusive McToran, to care. He spent the rest of the summer running away from Nidhiki and Krekka. 1 BS01's Ambassador (Like us, Follow us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He spent the rest of the summer running away from Nidhiki and Krekka.Now I kinda want to make a bunch of '04 Matoran... Pre-forums purge sig kept for historical purposes: Some cool Bionicles are the combiners. Example: Toa Jovan I've built a Krahka with 5 Toa Metru & Toa Norik, adding parts I needed to Norik. It needs 11 blue pieces (the ones that have +&O ends) but there's only 10 in all the Toa Metru sets. Do I have to attach her launcher to her arm?

StoaxTheHistorian Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I remember being at several Toys R Us's and finding some old sets in 2011, one had several Agori (Berix, Zesk, and Tarduk), Kiina, Ackar, and Axalara T9. The other had a bunch of Stronius sets. I also remember some of the Stars being sold at a third Toys R Us until 2012, and a Borders in 2010 which had Jetrax T6 and Rockoh T3 (got it for Christmas ).

banana92 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Back in 2003, I found the kane-rare and muaka sets at wal-mart, also, they were half priced so I snatched that up, wonderful set in terms of mechanical functions by the way, pretty amazing to see that head in action.

Element Lord of Milk Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I found a beat up Tarakava set in an airport gift shop in 2006. Sadly we were about to board a flight so my parents didn't let me get it. I also remember seeing a Lewa Phantoka sitting on the back of a shelf at a Zellers in summer 2009.

Grungemeister Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I saw a couple of Toa Mahri and Barraki sets in Walmart in 2009. I didn't get them because I already had all of the sets from when they were actually being sold.

The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) In 2007 at a Toys R Us, I found a few boxes of Toa Lhiikan and a couple of Visorak. I didn't have money at the time however, I was just looking around (I really wish I had the funds to get Lhiikan ) Oh, and in 2005 at a Wal-Mart,on one side of an aisle there were Toa Hordika and Visorak, and on the other there were still a crapload of 2003 sets. i got Takanuva and Hali that day. And another thing, by the time the Glatorian Legends sets came out, the Mistika set wave was still on shelves. Once more, another thing: In 2006 I had gotten Toa Norik and Toa Iruni in a two-set-in-one package at Walgreens. Later went back and got another Iruni (every Norik everywhere had been sold. I guess people must have loved him).
