Feedback before buying gold mata masks

I've gone and rebuilt my old Toa Mata sets. I just have a few pieces I need to order to finish them. But I want to display them with there gold masks.

 

Before I go buy a set on bricklink. I have a question. Which color is the mask actually that would be listed on bricklink

 

Metallic gold or copper

Onua's mask for example

Hm, I'm not sure which would be considered "correct" because BrickLink doesn't provide an inventory for mask packs, so you don't know which color they picked. Just browsing through a few of the masks, I see that the sellers are listing them both as Copper and Metallic gold, but they're both probably just the same shade, which I recall as being a fairly unique shade. Since Bricklink tends not to be super strict on the colors for metallic colors like this, I think you would be safe to select either one.

Thanks though looking at them. They're pretty expensive. Would I have better luck asking for a set here? Or just buy a set off bricklink?

Yeah, I'll vouch for BL's odd color system (just hope you don't end up with old gold when you wanted new gold parts like I did...)

 

As for where to get them, $3-5 is pretty standard for Bricklink and about as good as you'll get. However, if you check around on sites like ebay, you can sometimes find good deals for a full set of them.

I ended up buying a set on bricklink. I checked with the seller first to make sure they were all the same color. And thankfully they were.

 

I guess this topic can be closed.
