Question regarding Ben 10 Humungousaur

[Takanuinuva]

Is the brown used on Humungousaur the same reddish brown used on Ogrum and Chi Mungus? I want to use some of Humungousaur's parts for a Chi Mungus mod.

Yes, it is. And his Sand Yellow (Dark Tan) chest plate is the same color used on Avak and CHI Vardy.

Thanks Aanchir. I just had to be certain so I didn't order the parts first and find out the browns were different.

Oh boy, now I regret not buying Humungousaur even more.

Good luck trying to get one now, Ben 10 sets go for about $40 bucks new.

Well I didn't get all of Humungousaurs pieces. Just the feet and one of lower arms. That's all I needed for my Chi Mungus Mod. The other parts except for the tail aren't useful to me.

I'm not sure. The sets have incredibly low rating on Brickset and weren't very popular so if you want to get them 2nd hand ypu could probably get them $15/£9.

Just looking at them on Bricklink, all but one of them are available used for $10 or less, a considerable discount from their original $15 price. Jet Ray and Spidermonkey are especially cheap. The only one that IS extremely expensive is Swampfire, which can only be bought for ten or more dollars over RRP. I guess that set's plentiful Sand Green might be the deciding factor in its higher cost.

I said $40 new, although I didn't realise you could get them fairly cheap used on BrickLink (you can't get them used on Amazon for some reason).

Well, if given the choice between buying them new and buying them used, I'd buy them used without hesitation. Of course, that's in part because I'm not a Ben 10 fan, so the characters themselves have no sentimental value for me — I'd just think of them as parts packs. For a theme like Hero Factory it might be a different story. Same goes for any set that was notorious for having fragile joints, like the later BIONICLE sets — buying them used in that case is a risk I wouldn't be willing to take, unless it was at a convention or yard sale where I had the luxury of inspecting them before I buy.
