This is a smaller bionicle, and with only 19 pieces, took barely a couple of minutes for my lego bionicle nut nephew to put together. But, it's not the building that he most enjoys with the lego bionicles. It's the on-going imagination based play with a character he knows, and collecting the whole bionicle cast he most likes.
Tahu, I'm told is the Toa of Fire, the leader and fiercest of the six taos offered. The entire six (7116 Tahu, 7117 Gresh, 7135 Takanuva, 7136 Skrall, 7137 Piraka and 7138 Rahkshi) were released in early 2010. So, if you're looking for a gift that a bionicle nut you know might not have yet this is a good option.
Of the set, Tahu seems to be the most popular. Each one of the characters comes with a gold piece, which after they're all collected is ultimately placed on Tahu to transform him into a Golden Toa Bionicle (apparently a character that the bionicle-wise know from the movie). Anyway, Tahu, unlike the others, comes with a gold masking shield, to complete his look when his shield is complete. So, he has a bit of extra value.
Because my nephew loves these, I always feel he gets plenty of play value out of them for less than than the nine dollars they normally cost. (TIP: As always, with Lego's, it's best to shop around since prices can vary so dramatically.).
I bought this one for him along with LEGO Takanuva (7135), who's also one of the more popular characters, and it made it an even better surprise gift.
Get more detail about LEGO Tahu (7116).
