Turaga onewa Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I saw this polybag on Facebook and it is full of Bionicle misprint rurus. Does anyone know where this is from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

confused piraka Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 well the bag says 'service' on it so maybe that means something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turaga onewa Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Probably Lego Service, but I cannot find any others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.B.O.C Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Are there other pictures of the bag? Just my guess, but Lego did release Service Packs from late 90s-2000s if I recall correctly. I don't recall if they're resealable ones, but it's possible this is one of those bags and just full of misprints. However - all guesses. The misprints were parts produced for the first production run of the Kanohi Packs in Europe, it's possible they eventually just sorted out a number of them when they prepared more shipments and some of those bags eventually got out. A lot of test colors and moulds seem to have gotten out and are now resold for tons of money. Possibly related?

Turaga onewa Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Unfortunately, these were all of the photos that were there. I guess there could have been Matatu versions of this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turaga onewa Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Possibly those brown komaus and white hunas came from Lego service packs only released in some regions of Europe, but I have no proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger C-T Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) That explains why this BL shop has a bunch of NEW condition Rurus: https://store.bricklink.com/ciprinius?itemID=105888914#/shop?o={"pgSize":100,"itemType":"P","catID":"235","showHomeItems":0} I originally thought maybe they found a pallet of original mask packs and cracked them all, but they only have Ruru, Pakari, Miru and Kakama, all in these colors in high quantities. My best guess would be they somehow found an overlap at some point in time with these still being 'in stock' internally at LEGO, and being able to place orders through customer service. I'm going to message the BL seller and see if they will reveal any secrets. EDIT: Also, would you mind linking the original facebook post/group?
