Set Review: 1392 Tohunga Kongu

Hi everyone,

I told you I would have something special, and I do! Here is my first set review.


1392 Tohunga Kongu


The Package

It's what catches your eye as the set lies on the shelf, and is the selling point.

This is a truly unique packet, as it was only available through McDonalds in 2001. It is a plastic bag instead of a canister or box.


The Instructions

Are they easy or hard to build from?

This is not so much instructions as a poster. There are pictures of combiner models, and scenes from the story.

A real poster adorns the back.


The Pieces

The most important part of the set, and what I buy them for.

Maybe the least pieces in any set known, but rare ones. Some of these are turquoise, a rare color at best, an impossible color to find at worst.

The Complete Set

This is what it's for, people. The finished product of your labors.

Here he is, in all his glory.





This is a movie of his disc-launching function.


Final Thoughts

All in all, is the set worth the purchase? Or should you have kept the money?


This set has many rare pieces and colors, and has a great disc-launching function. On the other hand, it cost about $10, and that is a lot for only eight pieces. I still think it is worth the money, though, for the potential the pieces have for creations.

Pros:

-Rare pieces
-Disc throwing

Cons:

-High price
-Few pieces


I hope you enjoyed the review! Hopefully I will be able to get more posts up as fast as this. Check back often!

Halloween Creations

Hi everyone,

Here are some special creations I was saving for Halloween. Hope that it isn't too late now!

First, the skeleton.

It isn't particularly special, but it is very skeletal.

This isn't particularly Halloween-ish but it is the largest Bionicle I have ever made.

Those aren't party favors, they're evil walking pumpkins!

Poor pumpkin...

The LEGO pumpkin! Much better than the ones in sets, I'm sure. (Just kidding)

Hope you like them, and I have something special coming soon! Check back often.

A Few New Creations

Hi everyone,

Finally, some things that I made! Well, Lego Company actually made the parts, but I constructed something out of them...

Here is the first actual Lego thing I'll show you, instead of just Bionicles. It is a walking vehicle, based on a Exo-Force promotional set. And no, those aren't supposed to be goblets in the front! They're actually supposed to be smoke-venting-things.

This Technic figure is based on an old hockey promotional set made for C1000 Supermarkets in Europe. When you hit its helmet, its "legs" slam together and shoot the puck forward.




This (^) is how it does it.

This is a weird Bionicle Rahi (animal) which I based on the actual set called Squid Launcher Function.

Another Squid Launcher Function thing.

This is a Bionicle pterodactyl that I made. It is mostly wings, as you can tell from the picture.

Standing up.

Ready for flight!

This is a small "Rahkshi Spider", based on the old Rahkshi sets of 2003 and the set called Kraatu.

This is a small four legged Rahi which reminds me of a turtle. It doesn't have the hooks on its feet anymore. I based it on the Kraatu and also QUICK Good Guy White (that's got to be one of the weirdest names ever).

I hope that anyone who reads this enjoys it, and I also hope that the pictures don't freeze up your computer! Come back soon for more!

Bionicle Prototypes

Hi and sorry for the really late post. I don't have any very interesting creations yet, so today I'll talk about some of the rare Bionicle prototypes out there.

The White Huna is a Bionicle prototype mask first discovered in about 2003. It's really nothing special to look at, but there are only three in the world, so it is pretty rare.

The Dark Blue Matatu was made in about 2004 and is very hard to find. There is only one known to exist, I believe, but again, it is not the most striking piece.

The Dark Red Huna was made alongside the Dark Blue Matatu, in 2004. It uses the same mold as the White Huna, but is the only one known to exist in that color.

The Translucent Glow in the Dark Kanoka disk (don't make me repeat that) was yet another prototype piece made for 2004. It was just a blank version of the normal Kanoka disks that were released that year.

These two Kanoka were both from 2004. The one on the left has the official Bionicle symbol on it, the one on the right was made specially to display at the Comic-Con fair of that year.

The Tan Kanoka was a prototype that LEGO Company had so many of that it had to give them all away, or so I've heard. Speaking of tan, there haven't been many tan LEGOs lately...


The Kakama Kanoka was originally made and distributed in black; there are only 7 of the glow-in-the-dark versions known to exist.


The Yellow Ruru was originally going to be made widely available, but at the last moment, before it was put into widespread production, LEGO changed it to a different mask, and there were only three ever made.

The Prototype Hau is just like any other Kanohi... except for the prominent digits protruding from the forehead.


The Brown Komau was discovered at the same time as the White Huna. Nobody really knows how it came to be, only that it must be some kind of prototype.

Thousands and thousands of Poisoned Hau Nuva! These were a special mask released through Legolands in 2003.

That's the closeup of it. ^

Those are just a few of all the rare masks out there. There are many more than these paltry few.

Hope that this can pass for an excuse for a post! Thanks for reading.

More Bionicles

Sorry for the belated post, anyone who reads this! All the creations I have are old now, so I'll just show you those.

This one is actually not my own; it's my friend's Water Toa. She has a Kaukau Nuva and "Wire Slicers" (?).

This is a different friend's Stone Toa. He is armed with a Cordak Blaster, Zamor Sphere Launcher, and a Kanohi Komau.


And last, Bionicle Rock Climbing!

Thanks for stopping by, and this will be updated!
