  Finally listing a small chunk of a huge bag of Bionicle parts and came across:
part 43855 - Bionicle Mask Akaku Nuva in Pearl Light Gray

While it doesn't show as a known color for any set in this color, I found
in another thread that this color variant appeared in two mask collection sets.

I'm wondering why this color specifically sells (and has sold) for $150+.
The other colors that are almost as rare sell for $5-10 or less.

Making me wish I started going through these Bionicle/Hero Factory parts sooner...

As a person who has sold three of the last eight of these, I can help. The original
mask came in white with the Set 8571. Each of six unique Nuva masks had a starting
color.

Then sets 8597 and 8598 introduced all six masks in all six colors.
AND THEN sets 8599 and 8600 introduced the very rare pearl light gray masks ("Protodermis")
along with krana. Five of these six command the $150+ price tag. Sadly, the Miru
Nuva mask is worth far less, for reasons I don't yet know.

  Any ideas as to the effect of a moulding error on the value for this.

Note that one of the six holes is not there, it has the outline of the hole but
is still filled with plastic.

Found this in a large bag of bionicle parts bought for just £3 whilst on holiday.

[p=44815]

Nice condition.

These are pretty rare and listed under the 4-hole chin version. Go to the most
expensive lots for sale, and you'll see them.

  Just jumping in here -- what are the odds that the current submissions (i.e.,
the Stage 1 examples in the pending approval queue) get approved? I loaded a
bunch of kraata over the weekend and the system jumbled up all my tail comments,
so I had to delete them all. This new systems "seems" better, but waiting for
all the items to be approved is proving tedious.


We have begun discussions about it within the admin team. We should know soon
if we will be moving ahead with it or not. Stay tuned.

From the Pending Images - Items section, it appears that the decision was to
not move forward with the new system. The three images submitted by Axaday are
no longer awaiting approval, but the new names are not in the catalog.

I didn't see Randy's post and grew tired of all of them clogging my pending
items. I deleted the listings, but I could start them again if directed to do
so.

Fair - let's see what the admins want. I have a ton of images to upload once
approved.
