Hi everyone,
I decided to start this topic to discuss the rareness of Kanohi Masks (especially from the 1st generation). I know I have some of them and I would like to know how rare (if they are even rare) they are 
Especially interested in these ones:
Green & Silver Kaukau
Gold Miru
I know there are some threads about masks already, but the only one I found were about what masks are owned by someone, so if anyone would like to know if their masks are rare or not, this is the place

I have the White Miru it’s on my current self MOC. I have no idea how easy they to get or how rare they are though. Let me look it up.
It’s not the most common, but it’s also not the rarest.
The only masks I have are ones from sets and the Trans-Orange Mask of Fire.
I’d say the silver Nuva masks are decently rare, nowadays. Don’t see them a lot on MoCs, at least.

I have no masks from before 2004. It makes me cry.

I wish I had more than one G1 toa mask. I just have a silver and black painted version of Onua Mata’s mask.

That is so true, especially if you look on Bricklink, the silver Nuva masks often go for around $20-$30 or more, which is crazy to say the least.
I was only able to get the silver Miru Nuva and Pakari Nuva, and I wish I was able to find the other four back in the day.

There’s a guy on BL who has, like, 1,000+ Silver Miru Nuvas for 1.19 Euros.

Nice ones guys 
I wanted to know mainly, if all those masks that were not included in sets are rare? I have no idea how they were collected back in the day, for example mine gold Miru is rare or not? I have no clue T_T
BTW:I heard that platinum Avohkii is not so common at all…

Well it seems that on brick link it is somewhat rare but copper seems to be rarer.
I just looked, and I found a guy with 189 pearl light grey Miru’s. But nothing even close to a 1,000+ silver Miru’s Nuva’s.

Also, my friend and I did he crunching and researched the Kanohis and other G2 Masks:
2001
6 toa * 6 colour + 1 colour = 37
6 toa * 2 colour = 12
6 turaga * 6 colour + 2 turaga * 6 colour = 36 +12 = 48
2 copper turaga = 2
6 matoran = 6
6 rahi = 6
1 vahi = 1
1 rua = 1
1 infected = 1
37+12+48+2+7+6+1+1+1= 115
2002
6 toa nuva * 6 colour = 36
6 toa nuva = 6
1 matoran = 1
36+6+1= 43

6 makuta + 1 colour = 7
1 kraahkan = 1
7 matoran + 1 colour = 8

7+7+1+8+1+3= 27
2009
2 ignika = 2
1 makuta = 1
2+1= 3
2010
2 toa + 1 avohkii = 3
3= 3
subtotal:
115+43+6+16+3+9+11+27+3+3= 236

6 toa * 2 colour = 12
6 Protector + 1 colour = 7
1 MofCr = 1
12+7+1= 20
3 colour (Warrior) + 2 colour (Skorpio) + 5 Corrupted + 1 trans-neon-orange + 1 tp clear + 1 w/ LoSS = 13
Subtotal:
33
2016:
6 * toa + 6 alternative (Powerup) = 12
1 * Umarak = 1
1 * MofCo = 1
Alternatives for 2nd wave = 5 or 6
Subtotal: 19 or 20
Grand total:
236+33+19 (or 20) = 288 (or 289)
Edit: noticed that the numbers were a bit off, now showing the correct number. Ed.
What?
I repainted the White Hau Nuva to black-silver. Looks awesome.
I’d rather give it away, or paint it purple.

Nah. Kept it for myself.

Old masks in odd colors are cool, but not terribly rare.
Mostly because they’re dirt cheap on Bricklink.
