“Would you like a pocket-sized version of everyone's favourite Toa of Fire? Here it is, for $7.99 USD. Stars Tahu has a fairly good design and looks very pleasing aesthetically (with the exception of that bizarre but easily-rectified eye colour). I find it difficult to... More complain too heavily about him.”

“Tahu as you know has been one of the first six toa heroes back in 2001, and it is great to see him again. This is his fourth variant: Toa Mata, Toa Nuva, Mistika, and Star. All of the BIONICLE Stars have a golden piece, Tahu comes with a Golden Tahu Mask. It is NOT the same... More as the original one back in 2001, but it is still very nice.”

About Bionicle Stars

The LEGO BIONICLE Stars were the final series of sets released in 2010 for the original BIONICLE storyline, marking the culmination of the saga that began in 2001. The BIONICLE Stars line was a way of paying homage to the entire decade-long run by bringing back several iconic characters in new, smaller forms. All BIONICLE Stars sets came with pieces of 'Golden Armor'. When all sets were collected, the Golden Armor pieces could be combined and worn by Tahu, granting him immense power in the storyline. The Bionicle Stars line served as a way to both celebrate the history of the Bionicle theme and provide closure to the original storyline.

Stars was introduced in 2010 and currently consists of 6 sets. As of today, 7138 Rahkshi is the most valuable Stars set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $150.
Summary
Bionicle Stars Tahu set 7116 was released on December 4, 2009, retailing for $8, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $140, while used sets sell around $17.
