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.
