4kocour4 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Hi. So, I want to ask.Let´s say, I would be able to make Trans-Purple Kaukau. I bassicaly have all what I need, now just waiting for Dye to arrive.Do you think, that making an auction, for let´s say, 4 of them, for 30$ per one, is fair? Cause, you know, there haven´t been salo of one for quiet looong time. Is there anyone who would want one? Is there so many peoples that want them, so 4 wouldn´t be enough? Let´s just say, I would managed to make them, and sell them, for atleast 30$ per piece. Then what? I would try to replicate Transgrenie (Or how it was called) Miru and Metallic Purple Akaku... Would you be interested in them too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Imrukii Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 would 15 bucks be viable? or no. Because thats my personal mack, though my father did spend 101 bucks on the transparent Mask of Fire for me so.... I still would feel bad having my parent pay for it and not me.

MrRaves Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 The trans-clear Kaukau's go for around $15+ on bricklink, so I would think $20-ish would be reasonable for a dyed one. All of Flintsmith's masks are really spectacular, especially the trans-purple Kaukau, so I have no doubt you could sell 4 quickly for a decent amount of money. A trans-purple Miru would look really cool too! When you dye the masks, could you post a topic that covers the dying process? It would be interesting to see the whole process, as well as serve as a reference if others want to try dying their own masks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSciFiGuy Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 $20-$25 is the cutoff for me about most masks. Its true I havent seen a purple kaukau in a while either Bionicle: ANP aims to create narrated versions of all the Bionicle books, with voice actors for each character, and music taken from various media to enhance the story.

BTW. which mask of fire? You mean that clear one from NYCC? You could get this one for 40-50$ xD 101$ is really overpriced xD I was thinking about dyeing this one on purple...

On OfficialRare and Promotional it´s listed for 25$, and because noone have sell one for a very long time and well, not many people know how to dye masks, I think that 30$ is maybe even too low xD Hmmm... I don´t know if that would be possible, but hey, I may try it sometimes Hmmm, I was thinking about it, but if I would, I would post it on my blog.

4kocour4 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Moving to B/S/T.Ehm, that´s not necessary, I am not selling them now. I just wanted to know, if anyone would want them, I am not offering anything physically, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On BZP. I like it more over there, and people there appreciate rare piece if they see them, I don´t want some little kid who screams on mom: Mummy, buy me this cool mask! to get one, just so he could lose it week or two after. I want to see them in hands of colector´s and cool MOCers And, people over there are more tolerant to my lazynes/unability to get to the post xD EDIT :I just recieved the Dye and tommorow should be sunny. I take free-day from school and start working. If everything is gonna be ok, expect photos on Friday evening/night. Also, details: I will be selling 3 (Out of 8) immediately, for 30$ starting price. I am oppened for offers and money+trade. Then, there are gonna be 2 I will use for trade-only. I have another one for my friend and another 2 for myself. ("MOC" and just in case) If all 3 will sell for atleast 30$ per piece, I´ll be making Transgenie Miru, metallic purple Akaku and possible trans-purple Hau 2015. But only if Kaukaus gonna sell!Please, don´t close this tread, I will use it to tell you how are things looking and I will sell them in this topic to, if they are gonna be usable. Thanks.

Omega12 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Hope it goes better for you than it went for me. I couldn't find anyone interested at the $30 price range. The only one I ended up selling was for about $15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I might be interested in grabbing one of those Kaukaus, but $30 does seem a bit steep.

4kocour4 Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Well, unfortunately, this one didn´t work out. But don´t worry, I will keep trying. Next try with different Dye is gonna be in about 2 weeks. Hope it goes better for you than it went for me. I couldn't find anyone interested at the $30 price range. The only one I ended up selling was for about $15Well, you are a lucky that you could make one xD Can I reserve one for $30?Yes I might be interested in grabbing one of those Kaukaus, but $30 does seem a bit steep.
