Hi again Bionicle newsgroup readers,
Time for another update! We (LEGO Direct) are working on compiling an
official Kanohi FAQ right now. I'll post it here when it's finished and has
gotten the official stamp of approval. It'll also go up on the website, for
all the collectors out there that don't read Lugnet.
Some questions have been pretty much finalized so I'll try to answer a few
things now, to make the wait a little easier. There is only one infected
mask, and it comes in the Hau shape. The mask shape at the bottom of the
Bionicle poster will remain a mystery for now... you'll have to wait and see
where that mask pops up. It is not included in the mask packs.
The masks in the mask packs *are* distributed randomly. I have been informed
that they're being produced in equal quantities at the factory. And then
they're packed randomly, two to a box. Open enough of them up and
statistically, you should get a roughly equal number of each mask. (I'm not
suggesting that you buy enough to do this.) This is definitely true of the
73 masks that are on the poster - 36 Toa shapes, 36 Turaga shapes, 1
infected mask - that form the official Masks of Power collection. As for the
other masks that aren't on the poster, they're not part of the official
collection and distribution may be more erratic -- for more information on
those masks, stay tuned for the official FAQ, coming soon (I hope).
As many of you know, there will be Bionicle games coming out for a few
different game platforms. The masks and their different powers play an
important role in the games, just as they do in the overall story of Mata Nui.
Watch bionicle.com for the next chapter in the saga of Mata Nui. But not
necessarily right at 7:00 PM on Thursday. The stars are unpredictable, the
constellations are in flux... and we only make updates to the LEGO websites
at certain times of the week. =)
