Gold Drill w/101 - Beastformers Vs Laser Beasts Boxset
Yellow Drill w/101 - Mail Away
Blue Drill w/102 - Punch Box
Maroon Drill w/103 - Punch Box

In order of rarity from common to rare.
Gold
Maroon
Yellow
Blue

I currently only own the Gold Drill myself.

I'm interested to hear what other collectors have to say on the Drills.

[JonnyPac]

Just gold as well.

[SaltLakeToyJunkee]

What makes the blue drill more rare than the yellow? I would think a mail away would be more rare but just my opinion.

I'm only going by how many members are looking for the Blue Drill currently that own the Yellow.

Making the Blue only slightly more rare.
But we are only talking 5-10 exist of each in collections we know of.

Look at the Blue Drill in comparison to the Clear and Stripe Carps from the punch box.
One was produced in higher numbers (Clear Carp / Maroon w/103) to the other prizes (Stripe Carp / Blue w/102).

Maybe a later lower production run assortment for the prize boxes contained the (Stripe Carp / Blue w/102).

Yea im going from what people say on here.

The yellow Drill seems a little more common then the blue but only a little.
So Salt Lake what you got?

[lhssenior]

I have two yellow, two red and one gold (and one TGB crystal clear ). I currently know of 5 blue and 6 yellow in existence since I started collecting (though I am sure more are out there) so blue is at least marginally more rare in the collections known by me. I would say they were probably produced in similar numbers as they at least seem to fetch about the same amount ($1000-1500) but that's a question I don't know that we would ever know the answer to.

I'm guessing that if a person has a drill they would be on this forum. So hopefully we can get a idea on this thread how many are out there. I actually got my blue one from Judith in the uk. So maybe there is only 4 blue that we know about. J

[lhssenior]

There are actually quite a few large collectors not on this forum and very private about their collections. I know of at least two in Japan that are not here so I wouldn't be too confidant that they have all landed here. Remember Battle Beasts were released in Japan and in many places in Europe so don't even assume that they all speak English as there are some deep toy networks in other places too!

[retroactive80z]

Yea good point mate forgot about all that for a second. Well guys keep letting us know what you have.

Guess most of his items were sold to people on the board or did he threw them out on Ebay as well back than?

On topic:

To me these drills, even with their rareness, don't change my opinion on any of the BB/LB accessory outside the Figs and weapons.
For me their designs are really hillarious and poor compared to the outstanding work they did on the figs and weapons, I still don't understand why Takara has ever agreed with these, the chariots, playsets and others in relation to the BB/LB line.

So you guess don't have to be affraid there'll be any competition from my side to get them

[Onyxiaphil]

I have a Black drill. It says Mastercraft on the side.

I thought the same thing which is why I no longer have the yellow drill. At the time I traded it I was more focused on the core 77-112. When I completed that trade it completed my LB set and I was happy. But then started dabbling in gumballs, greeks, variants, knockoffs, Sd's. I even thought the Sd's were lame and thought I would never buy those. But now I am only 5 shy and several weapons away from a complete set in each color. I kick myself in the pants everytime I think about trading that drill. I have owned multiple complete LB's and wish I would have been more patient. Now the yellow drill is one of the major things missing from my collection

GJNL I wouldn't doubt if you caught the drill bug one day because I thought the same things in my first few years.

Hmmm can't deny there are some similarities to my situation at the moment.............. so I've to be aware I wont make the same 'mistake' as you did Thnx for the warning James!

Of course we can be fooling around about these drills but I'm aware that they do have a serious value amongst most of the collectors out here so I all hope you manage to find the ones you're missing although it looks like there are not enough known to fulfill that.

If I remember well all the collection was sold to one purchaser. Maybe it was split later but I'm nearly sure that Roland13 never split it.
