| Bionicle why have prices gone silly ?
i have just sold a collection of Bionicle sets, my question is why have prices
gone up so high on some sets ? i never brought Bionicle items before because
i did not rate it much, but now it might be worth buying some more ? does anybody
know why ? is it because Lego is not making any more, should i go for sealed
sets ? or loose lots ? maybe both ? i await to read some reply's . thank
you

| I haven’t bought or sold any for some time and not rated by myself.
That ended when I purchased several lots I thought were worth a gamble, they
sold well and at good prices.
My suggestion would be to purchase both sets and lots if you think it’s a good
price.
Still don’t like them myself but plenty do.

| younger generations that grew up with them now have adult money and want to buy
them. that paired with none being made anymore leads to high prices

I recommend that if you do sell bionicle, to get lots of it so it’s more likely
that someone will stumble across your store.

Fundamentally, it's interest chasing product...
Frankly, Bionicle among some other semi-dormant product lines, have been susceptible
to market-value retardation over the years, beyond what should be projected that
is. The product line is now playing catch-up in the marketplace.
Could explain in detail, but I’m not interested in doing so here in the forum
at this time. Just know that Bionicle is not the only LEGO line experiencing
or will soon experience the same appreciation.

Omg YES
My fav story is I was throwing away these little toys I got in an old lot of
LEGO, that were not LEGO
Then I found a MOTU (He Man) staff I recognized as being worth some $ so I decided
to check the other misc toys and low and behold the little guns I had been chucking
were G.I. Joe and I ended up dumping out my garbage to retrieve them and I got
something like $10-25 a piece (there were very old) I have no doubt the 90's
G.I. Joe stuff is also getting stupid, I bid on a few lots recently and could
never win them.
I flip vintage toys in general, so I'm always watching the market on various
stuff. I don't get to flip many "male" toys because they are nearly
impossible to get in bulk, too much competition. I do occasionally find some
MOTU and Transformers by just having an eye that recognizes it in unrelated lots.
I sell alot of FP and MLP and you can watch the popularity spike right around
20 years for self collecting, and 25 years for "I want my kids to play with
this too". Bionicle is in the self collection stage. lol
