LEGO 1420-1 Nuju is a Bionicle Turaga set released in 2001, containing 29 pieces. It builds Turaga Nuju in a Technic-based figure format with articulated limbs, a Kanohi Matatu mask, and a Crystal Spike weapon. This version was sold in Japan with Kabaya confectionery products. The Kabaya release was also promoted as combining with 1417 Vakama, 1418 Matau, and 1419 Nokama to form one of three alternate combiner models, although instructions were provided for only one of them.
A sealed Nuju is worth about $122. It has grown by roughly 8.1% a year since retiring, and our forecast adds another 10% or so next year. The average used price is $20 for those in good overall condition. New and sealed listings currently range from $120 to $123.
Collector and Investor Standing
Delivered as a promotional piece rather than a store release, this Turaga reached collectors through special channels. That limited path explains why Bionicle purists chase complete waves so fiercely, treating every figure like Nuju as essential to the collection's integrity.
