Something charming about all the studs on the panels

I’ll give you a cookie if you can name all the (incomplete) sets I just got in here!

Zaktan,
Avak,
Uniter Lewa,
Rocka XL (the two dark trans-green shells makes me think it’s the XL version rather than the normal 3.0 Rocka),
Inika Hewkii,
App-Controlled Transformation Vehicle (or as I like to call it, that blue RC tank),
…and I think that’s it? That’s the best I can identify.

Close! The Bionicle figures are correct, Rocka is the normal size figure (it had two of the green shells for some reason). Only the vehicle isn’t quite right, but blue tank isn’t too far off :wink:

OH! It’s the Remote-Controlled Stunt Racer, right? I should have realized there was no pink on the stickers.

Edit: Or, well, as prominent of pink.

To those who know about ziontyro’s custom wears, has special parts that they makes time to time, and you really have to keep an eye on their online store to see if they are available. Most of the time people buy them out before I can get a chance. This time I got some really cool ones.







These parts are going to be very helpful, especially since the uniters piece has gotten more expensive just for a single one and the The price varies on color for them too, gold and gunmetal grey being the highest on brick link.

There totally is. That’s one of my favorite aspects of slightly older Lego sets.

Wow! These are beautiful
lego is crazy for not making more pieces in translucent clear

You know, I always though it’d be cool to have an all-transparent Toa Vakama set, but had of course accepted I’d never have one. I wonder if this guy can make all those pieces clear.

He already has. Product Portfolio — Ziontyro's Custom Wares you can see all of them here.

Slap me thrice and hand me to me mama! I scored $51.28 worth of parts for $8 at the bulk parts table. Taught a tfol about gobricks (to prevent him from getting swindled) and witnessed a smug nine year old boy drop fifteen dollars on a sebulba minifigure after he had bragged to the crooked toothed manager about how he had checked the bricklink value first (she laughed in his face and I was appalled). Watched one of the clerks (a slovenly dressed man in his late thirties or early forties) fail to identify any of the 80s and 90s lego in the bulk table in an embarrassing attempt to make me think he was pulling out all of the rare parts. I laughed heartily at him and asked him if he found anything yet as he continued with his silly performance. It was a grand day at the bricks and minifigs and I will certainly be going back for more stories.

I also obtained these illegal unlicensed figures from a chinese associate. Really nice accessories here, my favorites are the commando droid heads in white you could make toes out of.

Are they generally like this, or is your location particularly inept compared to most resellers?

They’re not inept. It doesn’t matter to them as a franchise to train the clerks since they overcharge everyone who isn’t a parts expert. It’s a numbers game. For the one serious afol that comes in, twelve young families come in and get swindled. I used to own a bricklink parts store and ended up sitting on a ton of unsold common parts for months. Realized it wasn’t worth it and gave it to the lego club at my local library for them to have. The basic parts are now a free community resource as they should be.

I got this nifty carrying case with most of benny’s space squad for $4.00 at the salvation army.

Those cases are so rad… wish they still made stuff like that, they’re pretty good storage too.

Ha, when I was little my parents gave me fishing tackle trays to store small parts in, they work great and I still use them.
