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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-gogo) and with it was a 14-karat gold [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masquerade-mask-1) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-world-cup-trophy). The rest were available in contests and became a collector's item.
