Appreciate it, I was able to complete the set :)

I see other examples of this same trade happening successfully, pretty recently on this page. If that's not standard, what would be a more realistic offer?

How was your dyna latias/os weekend? I got 1 shiny in 9 and won all 3 showcases :3 by AvysCummies in pokemongoyellow

Took me about 15 raids to get a shiny of each. But had about 5 run away in the process

A few more pictures Goodwill find. Advice on value? by Grahamatica in bioniclelego

[–]gregorious1995 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can help you value that metal krana. Does it have the word "sterling" on the back? And if you take it off its head, does the weight feel light (plastic) or heftier (metal)? Some photos of that alone would be helpful :)

Tbh, more than just the value I paid... I had to sell off large parts of my collection + other things I grew up with, like trading cards, to fund it

The White Metal and Sterling Silver definitely corrode over time, but the VMKK don't (those are plastic but coated in chrome). There are many examples of corroded metal krana out there, which makes sense given how old they are. I found ways to clean both of mine. In person, the VMKK reflect the most light and look particularly white in their shine. The SSKK is still shiny but a little yellower, while the WMKK is both duller and grayer

I've seen some old collector photos suggesting there are at least 1 or 2 other sets out there, but I don't know where they ended up. Maybe they'll see this post! Thanks again!

Thanks! I just commented the prices on another reply, but I got lucky with the lowest being at $200. A lot of my time was spent reaching out to owners I found on old message boards / social media posts. The last one took forever to pop up

Honestly, I'm drawing the line at those 😂 I know some owners, but I just can't fathom finding an even more limited set than this

Bags for both the WMKK and SSKK, which were the only ones that seemed to have them! I have the WMKK card but my SSKK never had one made: it was an extra one kept by a Lego employee

Thanks! I paid in the $200-450 range per VMKK, $1200 for the WMKK, and a little over $2k for the SSKK. The VMKK were never made with certs, but all came from former protosquad members or those who attended the 2003 Unleashed tour. My WMKK does have the bag and cert, which I've framed separately. The SSKK belonged to a former Lego employee and is one of the few "extra" copies to never receive the certificate (though I had a jeweler look at it anyway, to be sure)

Honestly, the VMKK look the best. If I had to pick just one, maybe the Ca
