Has anyone tried (successfully, or not...) to create working models or systems using both of these items together? I'm guessing that I could use a mechanical feedback circuit (like 8868 alt. model / 8479) to trigger the RCX from the actions of the (...) (26 years ago, 15-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic)

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 (...) (26 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.lego.direct)

Hi Eric, excellent reply! I couldn't have said that better! The guys that complain about the "collectible system" itself won't buy the masks anyway (and nobody asks them to do so).
