Biotoakid Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I went to Toys'R'Us today with $35 and bough Cendox V1 and Ackar. But when I was looking I saw Titan Mata-Nui. His box really was quite large. And the price tag was terrifying. $50. I wanted him but I was short about $20... But what surprised me the most was that considering I live in a small town, we ACTUALLY got Titan Mata-Nui before most places! But another thing that surprised me was that I haven't seen Skopio yet... Quote
Bfahome Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Cool. Whee repeated generic response. Anyway, it's a pity that he's $50. But BZP has already posted the news. Quote
-MZ- Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Interesting, but I'm still not much of a fan of that set. Good for you for spotting it though. Quote
Shakar Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Cool. Pisses me off that he's 50$ (and, most likely, 50 Euro). He doesn't have many more pieces than Takanuva, does he? I was hoping he'd be 30$, if that was the price I would've bought him. But he's overpriced IMO. I'll probably wait for a sale next year- Takanuva's priced down at 21 Euro on S@H at the moment.

Biotoakid Posted July 22, 2009 Author Posted July 22, 2009 Whee repeated generic response.Anyway, it's a pity that he's $50. But BZP has already posted the news. Yeah but this isn't BZP. I think it's disappointing that he is so much money but has no story time as a titan. If I ever get two I'll just build one and keep the other boxed up. Mata-Nui WILL be worth a lot more someday. I also don't like the size of the box. But it's easy to spot Quote
Monasti Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 i MUST get this set. I haven't got on since 2007 and im getting this one now... Quote
---Vertea--- Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I saw him too- along with ALL of the vehicles at my Toys R Us. I got Thornatus. Quote
VBBN Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Way too pricey for a parts pack. Only plus side is we will soon see some decent reviews, not like the one on BZP that looked like a crappy webcam. ;] Quote

The Alchemyst Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 That logic would work for any set Biotoakid. xD But truthfully, prices of Bionicle sets haven't gone that far up. Even the Manas went up from like $80 to $110 MSIB. And with inflation, the $80 back then is like $100 now. Albeit, exclusive MISB sets have gone up, notably the exclusive parts packs from TRU in 04-05 and Vezon and Kardas. But then again, most people would just buy used, as long as it's in good condition. That's my two cents. If you're going to buy Lego to resell later on, use it on licensed themes. [Or why don't you just invest it in stocks? :P] Anyway, I don't think I'll ever be getting this set. [-TA-] Quote
Front Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Ok, do you guys think a review would be appropiate ? I might do one in the next days. The Titan is expensive, yes, but it is also extremely large. It's not my favorite set though, not by a mile. Quote

[-TA-] Well I wouldn't buy to resell anyway. Just to play with it and display it. Also, Front, do you own it? Because the BZP review sucked... Quote
Front Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Also, Front, do you own it? Because the BZP review sucked... Yes, I got Titan Mata Nui. There has been a lot of bashing of this set, so I think I should show how it looks, with some great pictures showing the better side of the set. Quote
The Iron Knight Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Yes, I got Titan Mata Nui.There has been a lot of bashing of this set, so I think I should show how it looks, with some great pictures showing the better side of the set. Could you, please? I've seen your reviews of Stronius and Mata Nui, and they were excellent, so I'd like to see something more in-depth than the BZP one. Quote

If you have '08 Taka-Nuva still built ( Or have even had him ) Post a size resemblance... I'm going to Toys'R'Us with $60 this weekend... I wonder who I should get... Quote

I wonder who I should get... Haven't got that Titan, Taka Nuva. But I have a Kardas built, so if I shower him first, to remove all the dust, I could make a battle scene againt Mata Nui. Quote

Avohkahs' Sparks Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Considering the variety of the quality of the pics and how the set is potrayed in them, I cannot really decide if I like it or not. I will get it either way, since I collect all of the sets, but it is hard to tell. Quote
Front Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) How many peices are in the set? 366 pieces A lot are simple technic connectors, but to give some examples there are: 21- yellow ball cups (old Bionicle hand) 23- 3-module cross axles 10- black balls with cross hole all the way through Front Edited July 23, 2009 by Front Quote
Biotoakid Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 I went to TRU again the other day and got Kaxium and a Hotwheels and they had one Mata-Nui. And before there were 3 Quote
HumanPackMule Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Is the head the same size as the Legends version? Quote
Bfahome Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Is the head the same size as the Legends version? It's a Metru head and a 2008 Ignika in gold. So no. Quote
Luke McAwesome Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Actually saw him today when I went to pick up a copy of Space Truck Getaway. The box is waaaaay oversized just for one figure, and the price is bonkers. He did look cool, but I don't dwell in Bionicle too much these days, and I just don't have that kind of money. Quote
