Thank you, @Hutere_the_Toa_of_Air, and @pizzacheetah for the welcome! The first thing I did after I signed up was to read the rules and FAQs. And thank you for pointing me to the marketplace. Even after just a day it seems like you guys have a really good community here!
@Scorpion_Strike Thanks! I am also currently working on a Turaga collection too, although I only have 15 out of 36 .
You could have your own Toa Mata Mask collection too, it just takes a lot of time buying lots of masks on eBay, keeping around 10 from each lot and re-selling the rest. It only takes about a year to do.
Yes, I know it looks odd, but it is the correct mask according to Lego they never produced a trans-brown kaukau. The yellow misprint mask would look a ton better but I do not own one.
I leaned very quickly how to use eBay effectively. I stared with $50 and didn’t spend a dime more on the collection and I also got around 100 figures added to my collection. It’s not hard, just takes patience. I do some woodworking so I made the case, it saved me a good deal of money on it.
I honustly don’t know, but maybe you could sell it to someone for something like 40/80 dollars. I don’t really know. but for collectors this could be a must buy.
first of all, these need to be mass-produced. there’s a pretty obvious need for stuff like this.
second, i really appreciate how sleek it is. it could easily go in any room of a house.
third, my only criticism is that it doesn’t seem to be comparable for g2 masks. i realize that this is a more difficult thing to do, and you probably only intended this for g1 masks, but if there were a g2 version of this, i believe you would reach a larger consumer base. just a thought.
Thank you for all of your input, it is most helpful! I have given the g2 masks some thought. I did come up with a design for attaching the new masks (Pictures below) The only issue I came across is that it would be a hair bit more expensive to buy all the parts for the new connection. It requires the new head, a #2 Technic cross-axle, and a ball joint with hole. I would also have to determine how large the case would have to be to accommodate all the gen 2 masks that have currently been released, but otherwise it seems to be doable.
