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?

It's been said; clear bags are good for you, but bad for lego.

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

There IS going to be a game.

along that line I think the Many Masks of Bionicle only hide the faces of Lego
Marketing staff.

Did you think that up yourself, or did you have to hire someone?

This sounds like the new collectible game called "MageKnights" that use collectible figures of increasing rarity/power. The figures are randomly distributed (badly) and players can purchase booster packs to strengthen and diversify their MageKnight (...)
