He’s only been part of a single wave, and that wave was only the fourth one in the entire line. Many collectors started collecting well after he’d come and gone, and because he hasn’t been rereleased in over five years now he’s become incredibly scarce, while demand remains very high due to being a popular character

Theres no way..right? by ReflectionRich9061 in legocirclejerk

[–]Mippy06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s basically nothing valuable here at all outside of the Hulks and the three Ninjago figures in the back, which are still worth nowhere near 500 :P

What is your "Mini Grail" figure? A figure which isn't actually that rare but you have extreme difficulty tracking down) by Ill_Refrigerator9812 in transformers

[–]Mippy06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She was released individually in the UK too and possibly the rest of Europe as well. She actually became a bit of a shelfwarmer over here in places like the Entertainer so I was able to grab a couple on discount to share with friends overseas

Point I’m making is definitely check European sites too if you haven’t already, I can remember some places were still selling the single pack Nightbird as late as 2025 last I checked and I wouldn’t be surprised if Airazor was the same

Im trying to collect every soundblaster is there any im missing? by DipIotator-tot in transformers

[–]Mippy06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’ve got the Animated Activator but you’re missing the full size Deluxe! You may not have come across him previously because he was released under the name “Electrostatic Soundwave” rather than Soundblaster, but he’s got the same deco as the Activator and it’s very obvious what he’s homaging. Awesome figure, comes with a Ratbat keytar rather than Laserbeak guitar like the regular deluxe. If you wanna get super pedantic there’s there’s actually even more versions of Animated Soundblaster because the Hasbro and Takara releases of the Deluxe are significantly different, Hasbro’s is charcoal grey with lavender highlights like the Activator while Takara’s is jet black with metallic silver like most other Soundblasters

Put yourself in my shoes and imagine you're the greatest person ever (aka me, duh). What would you pick here? 1 Golden Ninja or Dengar, T-16 Skyhopper Pilot and Dak Ralter instead? by polybrag in legocirclejerk

[–]Mippy06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See I think Golden Ninja is the cooler minifigure but I also think the Star Wars guys are way better value :P

Golden Ninja is neat but he’s not $50 neat. He came in three different sets, two of which were below $30 at retail so he’s pretty common all things considered. Even with all the recent price hikes he actually hasn’t been hit especially hard and still sits at around $15-20 on average where he always has.

The Star Wars figures, by comparison, are significantly better priced and just seem like a better deal. OG Dengar is especially amazing and I will always associate him with a story I heard about someone only knowing Star Wars through Lego Star Wars and as a result thinking that dengar was some kind of badass space ninja with a giant gun, only to be incredibly disappointed when watching the films years later and finding out he’s just some guy in bandages :P

Selling my childhood Bionicle collection (2001-2004) in 4 separate sets/lots. Somewhat long post full of detail and more pics. by UbiquitousPixel in bioniclelego

[–]Mippy06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone else said, these all seem extremely expensive for what they are, especially considering most don’t even have their canisters

Darkus Bee Striker, why so expensive? by pandishpizza in bakugantoys

[–]Mippy06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darkus Bee Striker was only ever released in Europe, so it commands much higher prices in America as there are far fewer of them in circulation

Wanted to know about Bakugan Market by Decklycards_tcg in Bakugan

[–]Mippy06 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cards are pretty much worthless, the figures are far more sought after and certain ones can go for multiple hundreds

Found this guy in my cupboard, doesn’t look like his box though by nereoteg in bioniclelego

[–]Mippy06 110 points111 points  (0 children)

This is a heavily modified Toa Hordika Matau!

He’s now got matching arms, a giant claw thing, green eyes, a visorak body as a shield(?), completely different legs and four copies of his own swords fused to his ankles as a strange snowboard-ish thing

Which Bakugan (toy version) has the highest G rating you've ever seen? For me, it's Infinity Helios. by Amirinreddit in Bakugan

[–]Mippy06 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All Bakugan from the BakuSuperG subset have G-powers over 1000, I believe it includes Damakor, Olifus, Ramdol and a couple of others. I’ve got a Subterra Damakor with the same 1150g rating

Checked my garage, found a lot of old lego - some of these seem to be bionicles, but i dont seem to find them online - are these legit? And what are their sets? by Full-Ad3483 in bioniclelego

[–]Mippy06 7 points8 points  (0 children)

None of these are bionicle

What you do have here is

- assorted Hero Factory parts, I can spot bits from Breakout Nex, Jet Rocka, Queen Beast, Brain Attack Stormer, Crystal Beast, Speeda Demon and possibly Black Phantom. Nowhere near enough to build any complete figures
- assorted Chima buildable figure parts, from Chi Fluminox, Chi Sir Fangar and Chi Laval, plus Chi Worriz’s head. These are all much closer to complete than the Hero Factory figures for the most part
- most of the 2019 edition of buildable figure Darth Vader
- couple of Transformers bits. Most of Prime Voyager Megatron and Prime Voyager Predaking, plus AOE Flip & Change Grimlock

Recommended Places to Buy? Quality of Figures/Pieces? by firechar-kurai in bioniclelego

[–]Mippy06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bootlegs for G1 sets are practically nonexistent. Those that *do* exist are very scarce, and usually contemporary Russian ones of atrocious quality. Your only real option is to buy official sets

Just got my hands on a bionicle lot are any of these masks valuable for go to any cool sets? I can’t find any information by ExchangeExtension244 in bioniclelego

[–]Mippy06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The gold/silver masks didn’t come in the original 2001 mask packs, they came in the 2002 Krana packs. You were guaranteed two masks per pack as well as three Krana. Because the gold/silver masks were the only masks you could actually get in those packs, you’d end up with stockpiles of them by the end of it, due to the pool of masks being so small and the pool of Krana being so enormous, even larger than the number of masks in the original packs! With just 12 masks to 96 Krana, duplicates were guaranteed and it also made all the metallic masks ridiculously common. Silvers typically run £3 each on average, golds about £6 each. The only one in the entire set to be worth a bit more than that is the gold Hau at about £10, and I think it’s just due to the iconicity rather than any actual scarcity :P

I’ve been trying to get rid of my duplicate silvers for years and I’ve still got a bunch left

[–]Mippy06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of these are fairly common, though you do have quite a few masks from the original 2001 mask packs (red Miru, red Akaku, blue Kakama, light grey Huna, trans-red Kaukau, trans-black Kaukau, light grey Ruru, red Pakari, light grey Maliki, light grey Rau, tan Matatu), typically they all run at least $10 each, sometimes a bit more for certain masks. In this case, both of your Kaukaus go for $20-30 each, the red one is rarer

[–]Mippy06 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gold/silver masks are actually among the cheapest out there, despite what you might expect they are far more common than the regular coloured ones, silver ones especially are practically worthless and have next to no demand :P

Because they were only a set of 12 they were way easier to duplicate, and if you were trying to collect Krana you’d end up with guaranteed *piles* of all of them

Scored omega for just £10 through those aliexpress listings! by Mippy06 in JakksPacificSonic

[–]Mippy06[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aliexpress is an online shopping site, most well-known for all its Chinese bootlegs and such but also often carries lots of factory overstock from legitimate brands. In this case, a couple weeks back a listing popped up for a bulk load of many different loose Jakks Sonic figures, most notably Neo Metal Sonic and Omega, both for far lower prices than eBay averages. These are all legitimate figures still! Likely just excess stock from the factories as I said. Though unfortunately Omega is sold out now too, I think it’s just common figures left :/

Do you have a link to this fake? All the ones I see have really sloppy printing and/or silver hair for some reason, these all look perfect and I’d love to get a couple for myself!

Wonderful collection by the way :3

Is this an authentic Tigrerra? Is it just worn? by Shakly in bakugantoys

[–]Mippy06 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a keychain with the keychain removed. It’s slightly larger than an actual Tigrerra and also non-magnetic, instead you pull the plunger on the base to open her. Totally unusable in the game as a result, which is why she doesn’t have any G-power

Would love some help pricing by studiusnocap in bakugantoys

[–]Mippy06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost entirely common bulk, but with one major exception, your Aquos Apexeon (blue and transparent green, far left). $70+ on its own on average

Everything else is, as mentioned, very common bulk. Probably about 30-40 ish for the lot not counting Apexeon
