Pros: Looks great, cheap, very poseable
Cons: um...the box design and the rahkshi are all the same
The Bottom Line: OVERALL9/10
The best bionicle set to date for the price, but sadly they're all the same, but the building and playing's what counts, and in this case its top notch.

| slizerpro's Full Review: Lego Bionicle Rahkshi Guurahk (Blue) |
THE CAN 6/10
Ok, although the pictures are excellent, I hate the bottom lid, it's hard to open when its new, and its difficult to store your Rahkshi in once completed. The front is the best in my opinion, showing the menacing Guurahk between the mask of light and shadows (From Bionicle Mask of Light The Movie). This would be the Rahkshi I would pick if I had a choice, just from the can.
BUILDING 10/10
OK, the Rahkshi are far more fun to build than the Bohrok (Other bionicle sets) of the past, with an interesting internal gear (I'll get into more detail about it later) and great design. Although some people may complain all the parts are new, (well almost) I like them, and the Rahkshi are by far the best bionicle for display, they look awesome. The instructions are great, as all Lego instructions are, very clear and easy to understand. The one gripe, as with all Lego sets, is the small parts, for young children these are dangerous, and for hasty children they can be lost mid-build. But, as long as you are careful, there should be no problems here. The recomended age is 7+ which seems right to me. This set has about 40 or so pieces, so it isnt a long build, but as i said, very fun.
PLAYABILLITY 9/10
Very fun, the poseabillity of the legs are better than any other bioncile set, you can get them into varied poses, and the large feet keep the Rahkshi up for most of them. The collectable this time are Kraata, slugs in the rahkshi's back. In this case it's a blue color, but the other rahkshi's vary. The staff action, by a great shoulder piece and 1 internal gear adds poseablity to what would have been otherwise static arms. The staff is a great weapon, and in this case a very smooth and styled pair of staff ends, my favourites of the Rahkshi. The spines on the back of Guurahk are also the best looking (In my opinion) and make it look like an eel or some form of fish, which I good for this water Rahkshi. The con of the Rahkshi is that they're all the same, bar the staff ends, spines and color. If you want just 1, pick your fave color and buy it. But this problem isn't a big one, there all a worthy buy, and best of all; they're very cheap at £6 (or $9) so I really recommend buying at least 1.
