Chrome Hau

LEGO BIONICLE
1

Good evening ladies and gents

A while ago I got a hold of a mask that I didn’t know existed. I won an online auction containing 4 Bohrok, Gali Nuva and a McToran Hafu, although he didn’t have his original mask. He wore a Hau that was clearly reflective. Initially, I thought I had found someone selling the 14-karat gold mask. It proved to be a plastic, silvery chrome piece that, like mentioned, I hadn’t seen before.

My question for you, my fellow community members, is the following:
Is this mask real Lego? Is it a normally colored mask that has been painted? Or is it a knock-off?

Appreciate answers, I am interested to hear!

90% sure this is the correct answer.

And by 90% sure I mean it came in the BIONICLE Power Pack with McToran Hafu.

So I’m actually 100% sure.

From what I’ve heard, the Chrome Hau is a pretty big deal.

It’s a good thing these message boards don’t show my adress. In that case, I probably would have 20 or so rabid fans storming my house by now.

Thank you for the responses, I will treasure this mask!

This mask is official, as it came in the BIONICLE Power Pack from 2001, along with Hafu, and another thing I can’t remember.

I’m pretty sure it goes for a lot on websites like eBay but I’m not sure.

The Chrome Hau is one of the more sought-after pieces from BIONICLE.

That’s real. I’m jelly.

If you’re curious, it came in this: BrickLink - Buy and sell LEGO Parts, Sets and Minifigures

Wow. Nice find!

It looks like you can’t even get it in the states nowadays!(at least not on bricklink)
