InkAlchemist1994 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I am a serious collector of Bionicle masks. Aside from the unobtainables, there are very few Kanohi that I don't have. I'm been scouring the internet (BrickLink, BrickSet, Ebay) looking for anyone that has the 4-Hole Chin Pearl Gold Kraahkan. It came in the playset "Tower of Toa." If anyone knows where I can find one, I would really appreciate any leads! If anyone has one that they are willing to sell, I'd be willing to pay at least $50. Here is a reference, although I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about:
Crezdonn Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Ayyy Reddit might also be a good place to post. https://www.reddit.com/r/bioniclelego/

I monitor the auctions, but that's as far as I'd like to go.
UngluedBike Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 There was actually PGK sold on Reddit not too long ago, so it wouldn't be completely hopeless to have a look there. Also, Crez I think you artificially inflated the price when you put up the false listing telling people to learn the difference :3 Also, if you're a resident of the UK and like Bionicle, go ahead and join us at this awesome Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BFUK7/

I mean, when I first saw it, I hoped it was a real listing (then when I saw the price I hoped it wasn't!). I might have found a PGK on Ebay in a used Tower of Toa set. These are images from the seller. I'm not certain that it is Pearl Gold, but I showed the seller Crezdonn's photo, and the seller said it was Pearl Gold. I bought it, I'll just resell it if it isn't Pearl Gold. 1

I haven't seen any sold besides the one on Reddit, so it's fairly hard to get. I could have put a price tag of $10000 on there, I don't think it would really affect the price.

InkAlchemist1994 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) I really hope it's just the lighting! It looks closer to Pearl Gold than Flat Dark Gold to me, so we'll see when it gets here from Russia. Edited January 11, 2016 by InkAlchemist1994
Crezdonn Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 It definitely looks more like pearl gold but I still don't think it's bright enough. Maybe it's worth asking to see if he has an actual pearl gold piece and to place them side by side?

After you listing went up for a while there were a couple of PGKs that were listed for around £800. They never sold and got taken down though. I think it just encouraged people to sell them for a high price :3 Also, if you're a resident of the UK and like Bionicle, go ahead and join us at this awesome Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BFUK7/
Crezdonn Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 What? Seriously? Was this on eBay or Bricklink, because I never got any email notifications for that item on Bricklink. Maybe I should add a disclaimer that it's not worth that much...

Maybe I should add a disclaimer that it's not worth that much...I found it on Ebay... I asked almost all of the sellers selling an opened 'Tower of Toa' set if I could see a picture of just the mask and whether they thought it was pearl gold or flat dark gold. A seller in Russia sent me those photos!
InkAlchemist1994 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 UPDATE: The Ebay seller that assured me that the mask was Pearl Gold was incorrect. I am still looking for a Pearl Gold Kraahkan.
InkAlchemist1994 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 I got my hands on a PGK! $27 in an Ebay auction. The seller had a lot of five pearl gold masks (one of which being a PGK) for sale last week. I was in a bidding war and lost out; it sold for $76. The seller listed the same lot this past week, and I won it! If you need one of these, keep an eye on: http://www.ebay.com/usr/legoderanged_atjax
Crezdonn Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I think I remember seeing that under sold listings. Congrats, welcome to the pearl gold kraahkan club

Now, if I can get my hands on flintsmith's purple kaukau, I'd be satisfied enough to call my collection complete. Got any leads for me?
InkAlchemist1994 Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 Mask found. Please close this thread.
