Hapori Tohu Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Check your LEGO Store calendar: From February 1st to 14th, you can get an exclusive "LEGO BIONICLE Hero Pack" for free at LEGO Stores or at online at the LEGO Shop - containing a poster, a leaflet (presumably with story information), a skull spider and a transparent orange Tahu mask (photo by DeeVee)! I haven't checked all countries but the offer is available for at least UK, France and Germany, so it doesn't seem far-fetched that all of Europe will get it. I'd expect the US to get this offer as well, if not in February then later in the year, but check a LEGO Store calendar from your country to see if you are lucky - see for example the British store calendar.

Saint-14 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 From the calendar leaks early on in the year wasn't there mention of a Bionicle polybag/promotion in March, too? Perhaps this will be when it reaches Canada and the USA. Regardless of when it comes though I'm excited, it will be great to get a trans-orange Hau ('Tahu Mask') 1 Quote BZPRPG: Akamu, Toa of Ice Talk to me about Destiny!

Nescent Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 This has me extremely excited, but I already have all of the Winter sets so if this is a $75-to-get-it deal then I guess I'll have to miss out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballom Nom Nom Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Wow, this is super cool. I had thought that mask was only a prototype, so I'm thrilled that it actually is getting released, as it's much better looking than the clear one, IMO. Hopefully it will be in US Lego Stores too! ~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clearly trans-orange, but where is the iconic open-mouth design of the Hau? What's up with what looks to be ridge of spikes along the forehead?

The Skull Spider looks a bit lighter than my blue ones. Given that it's partly set against the dark poster and pamphlet, the photo of the spider and mask could have been brightened after the fact so the spider stood out better. The thing is it's difficult to tell at that size. The Hau has like half the resolution of our avatars, plus compression artifacts. It's really unclear. Though I will say that DV's picture makes his look way, way more transparent than the promo one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xccj Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Well, cool, this will be a fun way to get this mask, instead of bribing a select few people who already got them. Hope it makes it to the states. I get that there could be some uncertainty to this, but since we know this mask mold does actually exist, I think that helps things. Plus, Hero Factory did the one-off color of the brain leech thing in black for a promo back two years ago, so it's not necessarily unheard of that they would do a mold that wasn't previously available from the sets. So I'm hopeful for it. Plus, that keeps the trans clear one as a NYCC exclusive.

Rooster Nui Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I hope this comes to Australia, and if it does, I'm okay with buying a second Toa and keeping it sealed or giving to a friend.

Munty Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 This is great news for us completionists What's the usual price requirement for this sort of giveaway? I saw a post earlier saying they may come with ANY purchase but how likely is that? What's the norm? I know all of the UK buyers got the free flower cart polybag when we bought the 2015 sets which required a £50 spend.

Aanchir Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Given that we know Tr. Flu. Reddish-Orange Masks of Fire were produced, and that the mask in this picture does not appear to be regular red, I don't see what reason we have to be so skeptical about those two masks being one and the same. Anyway, I'm excited for this promotion! Hope it is in fact happening in the US, even if we end up having to wait a bit longer. The other contents of the pack also look interesting. 1 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
