Why are the powerless nuva masks so expensive?

As an aspiring mask collector today I looked up the silver powerless kanohi on bricklink. and they go for about $150 - $200 each. Except the powerless miru. Then i looked up the legendary chrome hau which seems to be consistently $20. Weird, being I’ve seen people go nuts for the chrome hau. Then the trans neon green miru. (which I have and trans neon green is the best color). That one ranges from $12 to $20. Even the vahi isn’t that rare of a mask compared to the powerless nuva. Is there an explanation why?

I actually have two silver Kaukau Nuva…

Also, the powerless Nuva masks are significantly cheaper on eBay, it seems, since I’ve seen them go for between $15-$30.

EDIT: Nevermind, their prices really jumped on eBay recently as well…

I actually got both of them in the same bulk of Bionicle pieces, which is quite surprising now that I think about it…

its funny that I have most of the silver great kanohi. only missing the akaku.

The prices there selling at I can buy vintage Japanese robot toys. At least then im getting a full figure then just a small piece of plastic.

But I guess there’s are the problems you run into while collecting every little cannon thing to bionicle.
