Whether it be a thrift shop, a liquidation store, flea market, garage sale, or at school, I would like to know what places other than a supermarket or Lego store that you have found Bionicle sets (intact or wrecked).
I found whole lots of Bionicle sets and parts at Value Village (thrift store) a few months ago. Every few weeks I would go there and there would be a new bag of parts (somebody in my area must’ve been a heavy collector and decided to donate them all away). But now, there are no more.
At school I found a bunch of Mctoran and metrutoran in a box labled “stop-motion figures” locked away in a cabinet in the tech room. There was also a box of assorted parts that I found in my school’s “play-room”.
I once got Kalmah from a friend at my old school who didn’t want him anymore. Was missing a piece of armor and both orange tentacles, but pretty good deal.
A classmate of my dad has a ton of Lego and Bionicle in his basement. He said he’ll ship the Bionicle to me for free, because he doesn’t use it anymore. There are a bunch of unopened Bohrok in there too.
Althought, I did find a toa mahri in a K-mart on sale once, back in 2009/2010. I don’t remember it except that it was a Toa Mahri and I think it was Nuparu.
I’ve found a Boy Scout in my community, his father a Troop Leader, and found countless parts in a full closet. I didn’t take any home, but I know it contains Vezok, Turahk, Gali Nuva, Pohatu Nuva, A Boxor, and countless others. Needless to say, I hope he hosts a garage sale sometime.
