Market Watch: Unusual Items and Mixed Parts

I’ve had to miss a couple weeks of writing the market watch due to some health issues, so I tried to do some extra searching to make up for it this week!

toybricksonlinestore has some mixed lots of BIONICLE parts available. They appear to be sold by volume rather than weight, and offer different sizes of bags as well as up to 20% off when you buy more than one. They offer a guide to give you an idea of the bag sizes, shown filled with various bricks (though not BIONICLE parts) next to a ruler to help you judge what your getting. The prices range from $5.91 for the smallest bags and all the way up to $17.65 for a large, not including the multibag discounts. It’s hard for me to gauge the value in comparison to the pound lots I usually look out for, but they advertise 100% authentic parts and only have 2 negative reviews in 12 months, and have sold more than 400 of these.

ebageohat has something I don’t see very often anymore, one of the earlier BIONICLE watches with the customizable interchangeable links. This is more of an item of opportunity than a deal though, as it’s a little pricey at $42.50 USD, although shipping is a more reasonable $3.85. However, you can make an offer, so maybe you can get them to budge down to the current Bricklink price of EUR 26.25 ( About $28.05 USD)? It’s one of the more interesting BIONICLE watches in my opinion, especially to leave unopened on a shelf.

-On the subject of watches, one of our own community members (Yo Yo Flamingo) still has one Visorak watch left for a reasonable $25.00 bucks with 3.50 shipping on eBay. Yo Yo Flamingo has some other BIONICLE items that may be worth a look, although you will want to compare prices.

Here’s an unopened Bohrok Va Display up for sale. You probably wont see any more of these for a while, unless someone cleans out an old toy-store warehouse. It’s a bit beat up, but bidding starts at $750.00 USD if you want to take a crack at it, or $1,100 to buy it now and skip a bidding war. I have no idea if its actually worth either of those prices and didn’t find any record of them going on sale before this. Obviously you will need to do your research before thinking about buying this one.

Here is another item I’ve never seen before and cant put a price to: Masks to clip to you BIONICLE Shoes and Daypacks for 39.99USD, or best offer! I honestly cant tell if these are any different from the masks that came with their respective Toa Metru, or if they are altered in size or connectors to fit onto the advertised merchandise. If they are no different, then they have no real value once they are removed from the packaging. In either case your probably going to want to keep these sealed to preserve any value.
