Hapori Tohu Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 There has been much speculation over which gold mask will be the ultimate prize in the recently announced Battle for the Gold Mask multi-site contest. Today the LEGO Bionicle Facebook page revealed that it will be an eighth mask not shown at NYCC: A 14-carat gold Skull Spider mask! Be sure to check out the contest on BZPower and ReBrick for all the details on how to enter and win one yourself!

Toa Smoke Monster Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I wouldn't have thought that the Skull Spider would get a gold mask as well. It is a really cool mask.

Click Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 So what were the masks revealed at NYCC? I figured they were the six Okoto masks and the skull spider mask. Was it the Protector mask?

Well, judging by one comment, they were definitely inspired by the people who said BZPower was almost singlehandedly responsible for Bionicle's downfall (instead of, you know, a story so complicated your average fan doesn't even know half of what was going on) I wouldn't care about the haters, LEGO has no reason to listen to them because they know what they find in us. Yes, BZPower has had some years where the relationship between staff and members was not stellar, among other issues, and BZPower still has its share of problems but the staff and the entire site have matured a lot over time. Clearly those guys who keep hating against our site haven't been here in a long time and frankly most of the "criticisms" BZPower has faced over the years are just ridiculous beyond belief - including the strange assumption that BZPower had an impact on the fandom large enough to affect BIONICLE's sales in any measurable and relevant way. It's not too hard to overestimate one's influence and I'm not really blaming them for that, but when they go from that to pretending BZPower is, for a wrong reason, responsible for the cancellation of BIONICLE, then that's pretty crazy. When people start out with arguments like that, I wouldn't even bother arguing with them, just move on. Anyway, good to know which mask my brother and I will win. -Gata Edited October 22, 2014 by Gatanui 2 Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

Ballom Nom Nom Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 This actually makes a lot more sense than someone receiving a random mask from one of the Toa.

Also I can't be the only one who loves the stands.They're so.... detailed. Maybe the rest of the masks and the are for other contests?

Flex Lord Splash Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 So the Skull spider face thing counts as a mask... interesting.

fishers64 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I wish they would do art or story contests for the other masks.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 That's glorious. That spider-mask looks really cool. And that stand! Buuuut alas, I am kind of glad it happened to be this mask of the 8 that were shown. It's definitely my least favourite, so I feel less depressed that I won't be able to win this contest now. The Mask of Creation though, that would have me fired up! -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, building is an obvious choice for a LEGO contest, but LEGO has shown in the past that they can host other types of contests as well. I would expect a writing contest, too and probably drawing as well, though I don't recall seeing that from LEGO yet. -Gata Edited October 23, 2014 by Gatanui Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

But as I won't be winning any of them I think I'll survive Which would make more sense—to give away the shiny, special Mask of Creation that appears in promotional material but isn't even in any sets yet FIRST, or to save it for LAST? Promotions like this need buildup if they hope to keep people engaged throughout, so starting with the Skull Spider mask (which comes in plastic in every single set next year) seems more logical than starting with the ultimate prize. 2 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
