| | Hello, this has been bothering me for a while now, but several of the mask packs
listed either do not exist at all, or are listed with the wrong region.
For starters, the US/non-US distinction -- having spoken with several Canadian
BIONICLE fans about these, Canada had the boxed versions as well. Additionally,
LEGO's naming scheme uses the distinguishment of "IN" and "AM",
rather than "NA" or "US", which leads me to believe that they
were available in both South and North America.
Considering that Connecticut became HQ for LEGO's activities in all of America
around 1998, this also tracks: https://www.lego.com/en-gb/history/articles/g-production-in-brazil/
Further-more, I have found no evidence of 8530, 8559, 8597, or 8600 existing
in boxed form. Just Google them, there are no photos of them - because they do
not exist.
To go through each set one-by-one:

- UK Ad: https://biosector01.com/w/images/bs01/6/63/UK_2001_LEGO_shop_ad.jpg
This one is correct.
This one is correct.
[S=8530-2]
This one does not exist; the image used in a prototype moccup of the box art.

UK Catalogue 1: https://images.brickset.com/library/view/?f=catalogues/c02uk&p=64
UK Catalogue 2: https://images.brickset.com/library/view/?f=catalogues/c02uk2&p=80
(this onse seems to confused 8559 and 8597).
US Catalogue: https://archive.org/details/lego-shop-at-home-summer-2002/page/n31/mode/2up
This one does exist. The image is a digital moccup.
[S=8559-2]
This one is correct.
This one was released in America.
Kanohi Nuva:
US Catalogue: https://archive.org/details/lego-shop-at-home-holiday-2002/page/n43/mode/2up
US Catalogue 2: https://archive.org/details/shop-at-home-fall-2003/page/n35/mode/2up
LEGO Shop at Home: http://web.archive.org/web/20031204080846/http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=8574
(has a dead link to 8598)
This one should be labelled non-American polybag version.
This one should be labelled American boxed version.
Krana-Kal:
This one should be labelled American boxed version.
This one is correct.

| | Hello!
I noticed that some sets like the Daily Bugle (76178-1) list the Doc Ock figure
with the arms included, but the one from the Monster Truck set (76174-1) didn't.
Could it be at least included as an alternate to the minifigure alone? It makes
more sense to me for the figure to be offered both with and without the mechanical
arms, but the listings including these are inconsistent.
Thanks for the consideration and any feedback about the situation.

Our current catalog guidelines for minifigures make the condition of handheld
items being added to the minifigure in the instructions the finishing point of
the minifigure build. So, for Doc Ock from
the figure is considered complete on page 5 before the arms are built and added
on the subsequent pages.
Cheers,
Randy

As far as I can tell, this item doesn't exist in black, but I can't figure
out what other part it could be. (Blue door is for reference and I'm pretty
sure it is 445a.)
Help, please and thank you!
