There's another reviewer in here that gave the Bionicles a bad rating and went on to berate the toys as hard to assemble and fall apart easily. Well I've got a "just turned" 5 year old who has become a raging Bionicle addict. He got a simple Bionicle promo toy from Mcdonalds awhile back and has been hooked ever since. As of his birthday, he now has 7 bionicles. Even though the recommended age group on the containers says 7+, my son has no problem at all assembling and disassembling his bionlces. The instructions are very clear. His favorite thing to do is take 3 of the Bionicles apart and build them together into one big Bionicle.
So anyway, I'm not saying my son alone is some kind of Technical genius, I'm really saying go ahead and get your child just one of the bionlces if they are asking for them. If they can put it together themselves and enjoy it, then you can let them get the rest.But beware! Lego is very smart about making money off these things and like my son, your kid will want them all! I'm currently working out a chores for money deal with him so he can buy them himself. (Even the tooth fairy left him one under his pillow once.)

I think that Onua Nuva is a great edition to the Bionicle series! This Toa Nuva is not very complex to build, but the directions can be educational, as they teach to follow instructions. Onua has two quake breakers that can even be turned into hi-speed "treads" that attatch to his feet! (They don't actually move, though.) He is very durable and won't break unless you purposefully break pieces. Turning a gear on his back will make him thrash his quake breakers. The only negative things are: when you remove his armor his head comes with it, the mask makes him look like he is always looking slightly upwards, and his quake breakers look more like chainsaws. The only other problem is that some people might not like his hunched design. But if you ignore those small drawbacks, you will agree with the perfect score I gave Onua Nuva. This Bionicle is worth every penny, and I strongly suggest you buy it right away!

Onua Nuva was the first of the Nuva series that I purchased, and I must say the Nuvas are a lot cooler than their predecessors.

As with all of the bionicles, they can be a little daunting for children under 7 to put together. For the joints around the arms and legs, where they snap together, it takes a little muscle. The resulting figure, however, is very durable.

Unfortunately, the picture above shows the bionicle put together wrong (or at least different from the instructions). The wide part of the legs goes at the bottom, near the feet, like in the picture on the can. But, that's also the beauty of legos. The possibilities for combining them in different variations are virtually endless.

As the battle ends, the Toa recieve even greater masks of power. along with these masks come better body armor and new weapons. these great toys cna get the aproval of even adults. this is the ultimate lego toy at a great price. Kids, this is a must on your Christmas list.

I bought this toy and it is pretty durable, but you have to admit it kind of slumps down like a hunchback. Anyways this toy has a moderate amount of pieces and it is not hard to assemble at all. Also it has a ... on each hand which looks like a chain saw. These weapons can be used as skis or swords(I don't care what you do.)The best part about this toy is it is extremely flexible and it does not break as easy as other lego toys.

One thing i dont like about the educational value is you sometimes might get the pieces in the right place, but in the wrong way. It also has armor which is awesome and the color and it's mask makes it look fierce and brave.

This toy is the best.What I admire most is the kanohi mask and his arms.For bionicle collectors I reccommend this.This toy is both very cool and fun.

Kopaka-nuva has awesome armor and his mask is also.he has these two little blades that can split apart to go on his feet and turn into ski,s and he also has a shield and awesome armor so buy kopaka nuva today at toysRus.

I loved this toy!It was the best boinicle that I have ever had.It has these two hand swords that can turn into treads that go on his feet.I would recommend this toy to all kids Ages 9-10.

this toy teaches history and stories to improve the imaginations of kids everywhere it and its others are a must have.
