Yes, and they had the right idea, but by not producing rare/one of a kind
masks only available in the mask packs, they will fail miserably. After
collecting the '72 masks available' then what? I haven't seen or heard of a
pack yet that had an infected mask that wasn't a Hau. rarity is a big part of
collectibility, and Lego hasn't figured that out yet.

I dunno, I think all the multi-colored masks are pretty cheezy. I agree that
there should have been greater variety and more unique masks in the packs.
How about an infected mask in every style? That would have been nifty...

Alright then, here's a bigger question. Do you consider the masks to be
collectible items from Lego or do you think of them as 12 more building parts in
semi random colors. I think of them in the second way. After all, if it can't be
used in a MOC, then what good is it, really?

I'll agree that infected masks in all varieties should be made available.
Perhaps, Lego will see the error of their ways and fix this.
