(...) The Rahi. Good, they're finally coming out. The S@H catalog has Muaka and Kane-Ra at $70, so I guess TRU is skewing the prices a little high. The mask boxes are $3 at TRU compared to $2.50 on S@H too. And yeah, they're all expensive except for (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jul-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

I've noticed that Star Wars laser cannons make pretty good mask holders. The small end has a hollow stud that can hold a mask. The laser cannons can stand-on-end on a 1x1 attached to a baseplate, or stick straight out from a wall. -gyug (24 years ago, 10-Jul-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

I was at the TRU near the IKEA in NJ. They had all the large boxed Bionicle sets except the remote controlled ones. They wanted 80 bucks for the two catlike Bionicles. Thats alot of dough. Gotta jet. Jason F. (24 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
