Chrome Rau

[tahukan]

Hey I was wondering those anybody know how many Chrome Raus were made I own one

[Click]

I've never heard of a chrome Rau. Are you sure it isn't fan-made (unless you meant to say Hau)?

[Kanakalackin]

I'm pretty sure he means the Rua, worn by Toa Kaita Wairuha (otherwise known as the Chrome Hau), which was released in the Bionicle Power Pack along with a Tohunga Hafu, a booklet, and Media Disc. To my knowledge the power packs were fairly uncommon. So I'm not sure how many are in existence/were produced.

Oh thanks i didn't know if it was given in a event to a limited number or what

That's mostly correct, but the mask worn by Wairuha is a silver Miru. The Hau is worn by Akamai and is gold. This leaves the silver Hau in the Powerpack with no role in the actual story. The only explanation I can think of is that it was simply a mistake on the part of whoever was organising the Powerpack contents.

There was certainly a chrome Hau made in 2001. However, the Rua was shaped like a Miru in-story,yet shaped like a Hau in the set; a bit confusing, though this page on BS01 should help:http://www.biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/Rua\

Simply put, the chrome Hau was designed and promoted as the set version of the Rua, while the in-story version of the Rua remained a chrome Miru. Tahukan, I'm going to guess that this is the mask that you have: http://biosector01.com/wiki/images/d/d3/Power_Pack_Rua.png Is that the one, from the Power Pack?

Yeah that's the one although it did not include Hafu

Did you buy the mask on its own, without the rest of the Power Pack? Or maybe you purchased in with each of the other components of the Power Pack, excepting the Hafu figure?

It's the first one that I've ever seen on ebay. Again,the Power pack wasn't a very common set, so the chrome Hau is probably fairly rare. If you were ever to sell it, you should be able to sell it for at least $20, since that is what the seller was asking for on ebay.
