    With the silver bohrok eyes, Bricklink sellers always get Pearl Light Grey ( which is the silver colour used in Bionicle G1) with Flat Silver. There are only very few flat silver bohrok eyes. I think one ( only one) came in Bulk vs Vapour, not sure if any more were released before they changed the mould

    Imagine having a piece that only appears in one set, but the one in 3 sets still costs more. 💀

    I think it's kinda funny how squid launchers are arguably the worst projectile weapon Bionicle's ever had, and yet the demand for them is enough to make them like, $10.

    I have Bomonga... and he has that spinner. I got him back in December of 2004 when my mom took me to Wal-Mart. I remember that I was able to get 4 of the Rahaga, Bomonga being one of them. After all these years, I had no idea they changed the spinner. Same with Krekka. I got him summer 2004 and then again from the Ultimate Dume set in 2005. So I have one of each of those hose parts.

    I have the black armor piece from K2SO, already knew about that one... but the one that caught me off guard was the grey spinner. I've had that piece in my collection for years and years, never knew it was rare or valuable in any way. Neat!

    One day I’ll discover a means to travel to a dimension made up of Lego sets, free myself from the financial aspects of plastic addiction, but until such time I’ll just have to settle for window shopping.

    7:59 if its from that set, then it may actually have some credibility. you wouldnt know it from just a quick glance, but that set is deliberetly super rare, only 20,000 copies exist which may sound like alot, but given the amount most lego sets are produced, this is not much, and it was approprietly labeled as limited edition. each set also has a unique printed number plate withthe sets production number.

    I got some of Karzahni's marbled dark green Mantax armor from a bulk lot. Sadly no Karzahni, but it's nice to just have some pricey parts in the collection.

    I'm an insane person and am working on a full collection including every set, combo model, and variant. All I have left is variants and a few combos. I am part of the reason there are very few yellow jetrax panels on bricklink, I had to buy 2 yellow jetrax worth to make a yellow destroy cycle.
    I very also recently had to nearly buy out the US stock of the weird red half gearbox piece from the master builder set, because it needs 10 to make all of its variants.

    I was lucky enough to get a complete Karzahni for $400AUD in 2021. The fact that it’s roughly doubled its value since is nuts. I’m keeping him forever

      Dude, I found this secondhand toy shop in Rome back in 2016, which had a complete Karzahni IN THE BOX with unopened bags, just the box wasn't sealed and the guy was selling it for 80€.
      I immediately bought it without even checking the bags inside. Then I got home and discovered there were almost all bags from Hydraxon as well! I'm still amazed by this finding to this day.

      I wanted to buy more but we were poor

      I saw one earlier this year for 200 (I think he only missed his cape) and it immediately sold in the next few days kinda sad I contained myself and didn't impulsively buy it as I had already found a pretty cheap Axalara T9 literally a few days before that

    Edit: Same for g2 Lewa. I also have no idea how i found the purple bohrok eyes for so cheap, but i remember wondering why they were a dollar each. Little did I know...
