The misprinted Bohrok Kal faceplates are a previously documented phenomenon. It appears that Tahnok, Lehvak and Pahrak can all sometimes come with each other’s face prints. This is fairly rare, but the pieces don’t seem to be very desirable on the secondary market.
That bohrok is indeed something special! I actually spent a while tracking down one myself. Tahnok and Lehvak Kal can both end up with the wrong pattern on their head (Pahrak's and Tahnok's respectively) and I've only ever come across maybe 5 or 6 others online who have that green misprint! There's bound to be more out there obviously but still a neat find, congrats!
@@brickthumb The good news is the red one is a little easier to find because more people know of it. The bad news is that also means more people try and price it up. I got mine by trawling through bohrok job lots on ebay so if you keep doing what you're doing you're bound to find it eventually. Best of luck!
Neoshifters were awesome, loved the little guy that transforms as a ball in the center of the big neo shifter guy. As a kid I would carry around the little guy all the time since he was so small and portable
Another fantastic unboxing! I look forward to your uploads every week and it's so fulfilling to see you making such progress with your mask collecting in 2023. I guess there will always be new listings and insane finds out there waiting to be picked up, which is really reassuring to know! Very happy to see you finally got a Pewku (only took three Takuas) and that you were able to restore so many of these figures. That misprint Lehvak-Kal faceshield is such a special find and I'm glad you spotted it on-camera too! I look forward to more videos and I hope you're able to find more hidden treasures in the chaos realm of UK eBay listings!
Getting closer to shiny Toa Nuva! Just need the following: - Green Hau Nuva - Brown Hau Nuva - White Pakari Nuva - Brown Kaukau Nuva (For those wondering why I didn’t mention the Brown Akaku Nuva, it’s because Kopaka Nuva requires a limb piece that doesn’t exist in tan for a brown version)
I’m vicariously re-living my childhood through your channel. I’ve recently gotten back into bionicle by showing them to my son and we’ve begun our quest to collect the original six Toa!
Many of the earth orange and dark orange parts on Pewku are rare, if not exclusive to that set, although the Bohrok eyes in dark orange also came in two "Parts tubs" in 2005 (8715) and 2006 (6620). It was also the last standard set to have "Voodoo Arms" in the old dark gray, even though one of them also came in another Parts tub (6638) which I obtained around 2006 as well. This was a similar story for the Technic "catch" in earth orange (sometimes called "Old brown" or "Mata brown"), which debuted in the Technic Droideka (8002) in January 2000, and also appeared in part tubs before being phased out by 2006.
Love the editing on this one! And yeah I've heard about those misprints before, not super common but also not really worth anything. Still, a neat thing to have!
I think you should make a display for the various masks that came with Matoran, Rahi, and other sets from 2001-3, considering how many of them you already have. Would be a good place to display the masks of victory, chrome and corrupted Hau masks, and any other miscellaneous masks from those years.
Awesome haul man, I’m gonna check my bohrok because of this :p Actually found and bought 3 prototype masks last week, they’ll be in at the end of the month if things go well ^^
Question could you do video for the rakishi, not trying to dye them or anything since i think you said it was impossible, but could you try to use the pre-existing colors to make the other rakishi, all i onow of the ones possible is the rakishi of weather control or something idk, the green and brown one, i know you can mix and match to get the others ajd i think there is a sliver one or something And maybe when you get a 3D printer you can make the pieces unable to be dyed, i love you collection videos and the ones where you experiment with stuff, keep up the good work
I just recently got a bag of Bionicle parts on Offerup for $15, which seemed like a pretty great haul, having 80-ish percent of an Onua Nuva figure, until I actually went through the bag and found a silver Gali Nuva mask! It feels odd to have such a rare item. Does that sensation go away when you have multiple items that rare? Either way, I wish you the best of luck on your journey! Let's hope 2024 proves to be even more fruitful!
Haha, that's a really good question. The feeling hasn't gone away yet, at least not for me, but I bet the big collectors who spend thousands on rare items will start to lose interest in the "cheaper" things!
@@brickthumb I've talked to a few of those people before, and honestly, they kinda scare me! I can't imagine having so much money that a $150 mask is just a drop in the bucket!
@@headcrabking9054 Damn, yeah, that's crazy. I think even if I had the money, I would still prefer to hunt through boxes instead of just straight up throwing cash at everything! It's the hunt thats fun, not the buying.
@@brickthumb truer words where never spoken! I have an almost complete toa mata/nuva collection, all exclusively from buying parts, and it's so rewarding to be able to piece a set together from what you have available!

Transrok kal
Fascinating, thanks for the info. I wonder why it's just those three?
I managed to get a Tahnok misprint. Hoping to find the other two
Honestly, this is one of the TH-cam series’ that I actively keep up with!

Thanks for the info. I guess I need to track down the other one now, so I have a matching pair!

I use those lil guys to give my mocs a lil buddy :3
glad takanuva finally got his rightful mask

Wake up bebe, brickthumb uploaded a new video
Transelemental/shiny bohrok! Neat. Might wanna give 'em the shields to match the faceplate, that'd be fun.

Really love your videos, with the music and your calming narration. Perfection.
Thank you, glad you enjoy them :)

Aaaw was hoping it was worth something at least, then I could trade it for more masks, lol. But yeah, I guess it's still a neat thing to have.
Very nice catch of the misprint and the new animations are 🔥
I've been waiting for this one to come out😏

I'm very curious to hear about that missprint, hopefully we will get news from you soon
You could use the spare Takuas as a base to make some custom ta/ga matoran
when is the new quest for the masks video???
You should replace the weapons on your misprinted Lehvak Kal to match the misprint
i have galis silver mask. and i got it last sumer
Holy crap i had that exact white and blue neo shifter as a kid
at this point you can make a big bohrok swarm display
My levak is just normal :( You should give him the fire claws to match!!
If i remember Eljay also had a misprinted bohrok kal on his review years ago.
Sure did and still do! Tahnok-Kal with a Pahrak-Kal print in red. It's the original one I got back in 2003!
Awesome haul man, I’m gonna check my bohrok because of this :p
Actually found and bought 3 prototype masks last week, they’ll be in at the end of the month if things go well ^^
Whaaat seriously? Where from!?
@@brickthumb eBay of all places. I was searching for the mythical metal kraana ;p
Ooh! I know I'm late, but I hope they arrived safe and sound!
@@hollowknightfan2379 No I got scammed :s
Just 2 normal masks and the 3rd one never arrived, even tho it was from the same person
Misprint ball man
Great fun, love this series. Wait, where did the Protodermis Kakama comes from? Did I miss a video?
you should do a Krana and Krana-Kal stand as well!
What’s the story behind your brick thumb?
I have a blue kakama Nuva that I got from a Facebook marketplace lot
And I have no idea what to do with it
Why not use the misprints to make shiny Bohrak Kal?
Question could you do video for the rakishi, not trying to dye them or anything since i think you said it was impossible, but could you try to use the pre-existing colors to make the other rakishi, all i onow of the ones possible is the rakishi of weather control or something idk, the green and brown one, i know you can mix and match to get the others ajd i think there is a sliver one or something
And maybe when you get a 3D printer you can make the pieces unable to be dyed, i love you collection videos and the ones where you experiment with stuff, keep up the good work
U still need a white pakari nuva?
You should do a shadow toa metru video
I have all krana kal except for pahrak kal's
Shiny Tahnok-kal? 🤔
you've got a misprint Bohrok very rare you should keep it
