Strange question in the subject line. Marketing is always equal to greed, no matter if it is made by Coca-Cola, Nestlé,
Ford or Lego.
Nobody offers you a product to make you happy. No, of course they want to make money. Then, of course it's easier to
make money on a product that makes you happy.

Btw, greed is the sin a majority of American and americanized churches all over the world encourage.

What is the real purpose behind the sale of SO many different Bionicle masks?
Is there a game coming up where each mask has some ability? Why are the masks
sold in such a way that you can't tell what mask you're getting? Is this a
simple marketing trick creating mask collectiblity only due to the variety and
randomness of the masks? I understand the collectible card game concept because
in that case rarity meant a more potent/special card FOR A GAME that the
collectors played against each other. Unless Lego/Bionicle also has some plans
along that line I think the Many Masks of Bionicle only hide the faces of Lego
Marketing staff.

(...) Whatever you say, Biblethumper (...) It's been said; clear bags are good for you, but bad for lego. (...) There IS going to be a game. (...) Did you think that up yourself, or did you have to hire someone? (23 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.dear-lego)
