Editorial Review

The Bohrok, a race consisting of six insectlike species that use elemental powers, add to the mythological story of the Bionicles. The Lehvak are the Air Bohrok, who secrete acid to clear anything out of their pathway. While these clever beings can fight alone, they prefer to work in small groups, attacking and leaving quickly. This 40-piece Bionicle kit uses a system of ball-and-socket joints, pegs, gears, and machinelike body parts for assembly. The illustrated instructions are easy to follow, and the black and green pieces snap together without difficulty. A lever just behind the back of the head can be pressed to make the top dome lunge forward--a simple but incredibly cool effect. The completed Lehvak stands solidly on its own, offers a variety of offensive or defensive poses, and can be suspended in its container when not in battle. --Pam Lauer

Product Description

Nothing stops the Lehvak!
The Lehvak are the only Bohrok swarm designed for combat. Using their crushing shields and dissolving spray, they exist to destroy anything that lives on Mata Nui. Clever and unpredictable, stopping the Lehvak may be the Toa's greatest challenge! With their krana removed, they are still highly difficult to tame.

5.0 out of 5 stars Legos: The Next Generation, September 28, 2002

This review is from: Lego Bionicle Bohrok Lehvak (GREEN) #8564 (Toy)

I have heard several parent reviews of the new Bionicle building-set line, and they have said that they aren't like the Legos that used to be made, in the respect that they can no longer reflect creativity in building new creations; after building from the contained instructions, the set is complete. However, I point out that this is NOT true.

The Bionicle, though intended for a certain form of the 'Bohrok,' is composed of 40-a-set pieces, and are completely customisable. After the initial building, kids can disassemble the toy and use the pieces to make new creations, or MOC's (My Own Creations.) Though most of the pieces seem one-purpose-only, upon further inspection it can be seen that there are several other slots and holes, allowing new positions, new formations, and in fact original products are entirely possible. Then, after the other Bohroks are purchased, even more creations are possible!

To motivate this idea, you may note that in the back of each instruciton book there are pieces of the instructions to build another product out of three Bohroks. But it doesn't stop there. Whereas in the previous history of Legos original creations were made out of simple geometric shapes, the same is possible with these new-age, streamlined pieces. Now what Lego needs to do is to make compatability with the dotted format of other legos and these new ones.

As for the mechanics, the pieces are quite durable, withstanding multiple takings apart, which would be of special concern in the ball-and-socket joints. The toys, as is traditional with lego, teach perseverance, concentration, creativity, organisation, and further hand skills.

Buy the Lehvak!! I'm a Bionicle fan and I have all the Tohunga,
Kopaka, and turaga Whenua. I just got this and it is pure fun.
I also have the Gahlok. I can't wait to get the rest of the bohrok. I recommend this for all Bionicle fans! Buy this toy. It's very challenging for most people, but since I'm a long time
Lego fan, it only took me 6-8 minutes to build. Buy this. No Bionicle fan is to go without it!

This was a cool toy. The seller's pricing was fair; however, was not informed that it would be missing the Krana. Arrival of purchased item came expeditiously... Overall, I rate this as a positive transaction.
