Christian (and Michael and everyone else),

Sorry, I should have been more clear on one issue -- Christian is right that
not all of the masks were included in the first release of the mask packs.
So it's inaccurate to say that "all 73 masks had an equal distribution."
There will be more information about this in the official Kanohi FAQ. What I
should have said is "from now on, in the rest of the releases of packs for
the rest of the year, the distribution of those 73 masks should be equal."
That's the official word. However, don't feel too bad about buying the first
release of packs -- you got some masks that I suspect are not in the later
releases (ones that are not part of the official 73).

We'll also have a web page up sometime soon about the Bionicle video games.
Again, I don't want to commit to exactly how long "soon" is. =) Same goes
for the golden masks: information will appear on the site. And since the
golden mask is a mask, information will also go into the Kanohi FAQ -- but
naturally a unique solid gold mask is not "collectible" in the usual sense.
Now, the FAQ is not going to be a checklist, just the answers to some
questions. The checklist is another idea we are still considering. *If* we
have a checklist, it won't be just a reprint of the poster. We would try to
have as much information as possible about all the masks that LEGO is
making, not just the official 73 Masks of Power.

I can't say much about the video games except that they look very cool.
Well, I'll tell you about one thing that you'll see in the next section of
the Mata Nui website -- the geography of many parts of the island will be
the same in the games as it is on the website. So if you wander around a
village a lot on bionicle.com, you'll know your way around when you play the
game. Neat, huh?

Oh, and don't reload the page all day tomorrow -- we probably will not post
the new section until Friday or Monday. We're debugging the next section of
Mata Nui right now, and personally I would rather let you guys play with
something that works, instead of rushing to put it up right when the
telescope says it should be up. Hope you can wait!

Back to work,
