14-Karat Gold Puzzle Pieces

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The LEGO Bionicle Golden Kanohi Hau Mask is Extremely Rare

— February 22, 2024 — Luxury
In Western Pennsylvania, a very rare treasure known as the Bionicle Golden Kanohi Hau Mask was discovered at the Goodwill Warehouse location. It was found in a donation box filled with jewelry and with it was a 14-karat gold LEGO piece.

It is only about an inch in height and is very rare with only 30 made in total back in 2001 as a part of the Bionicle series. The action figures strayed away from the toymaker's usual products and created a more complex approach to the technic materials. It featured golden masks made in a special iteration and some of these were gifted to LEGO employees. The rest were available in contests and became a collector's item.
