Hey everyone! I have come by an opportunity to get my hands on one of the coveted Inside Tour trans-blue Gali masks from 2015 and was wondering if there might be any interest in it here on BZP. This mask will probably never be cheap enough for me to justify keeping, but I am more than willing to bring it to market here for the right price! To make it worthwhile on my end, I would be looking to get somewhere in the range of $900-$1000 USD, which I know is steep, but for a collectible this rare that is harder and harder to come by I think it is reasonable. The packaging is in superb, near-mint condition, and as far as I know has never been opened. If I can get one or more committed buyers to comment here saying that they are interested, I will go ahead and obtain the mask and bring it to market here. If there are several interested parties we'll do an auction as I've done with other collectibles in BST. Otherwise if there is only one person interested I will simply reserve it for them. Let me know in the comments below if you are interested, and if all goes well I'll have the mask up for sale on here in a short while! Thanks for looking! -Sam

All pics link to Flickr! Description: The villagers of Okoto play this ancient sport to bring pride to their villages. The first villager to shoot a gem through the hoop three times wins the ceremonial mask. They are armed with weapons to knock away the opponent's gems and shooters to fire their gems through the hoop. Two score counters are also included. Background: This year I was able to attend the LEGO Inside Tour for the first time. The 34-person group I was in, which toured from the 19th of May to the 22nd, was the second tour group for 2015 and the 28th since the LEGO Inside Tour began. The most thrilling part of the LEGO Inside Tour, for me, was getting to meet and spend time with so many LEGO designers and others who help to make the LEGO Group the company that it is. However, the biggest surprise for me was connected with the building competition at the end of the first day. All tour participants were invited to think like a LEGO designer and design a potential set to meet certain constraints. The designers would judge them the next day before announcing the winners at an awards ceremony that evening. The parts provided for us included many BIONICLE pieces, but I was one of the only builders to create a primarily BIONICLE-based creation, since that is the style of building that comes most naturally to me. When I finished my model at around 10:20pm, a lot of other builders were still working on their own creations, so I didn't get to see what my model was up against until the awards ceremony. To my amazement, the model I created won first prize! It was the first BIONICLE creation to win first prize in the history of the LEGO Inside Tour. The designers liked that it had a clear play scenario and hit the desired price point almost exactly. I was awarded a LEGO set and a brick-built trophy printed with the Inside Tour logo. And yes, they let me keep my creation! Bonus pics:
