Brutaka Reviews
Brickipedia
“Brutaka was released in mid-2006 as a large-boxed set. He contained 193 pieces. He and the other 2006 Titans were the first to revolutionize the new shin braces, using the new ball-joints and a piston for added support. Brutaka's parts could be combined with those of Axonn... More to build Botar, whose instructions could be found on BIONICLE.com. The pieces from Brutaka, Axonn, and Vezon and Fenrakk could also combine into the Kardas Dragon using either the instructions on BIONICLE.com or those packaged with the parts of the three in a special edition Kardas Dragon set available only at Target or a LEGO store.”

“Be assured that this guy is definitely worth your money. It's possibly my favorite set in recent years, and I recommend it to you all. Yes, even those people who don't like 2006 so far. This set will very probably change your opinion. Hold on a few months before you make... More your final judgment. You might well be very surprised...”

“Brutaka has got to be one of the best Bionicle titans ever released. He is from 2006, with 193 pieces. He was worth 20 dollars in stores, so it is totally worth it money-wise... Today if you want to get him you should be prepared to shell out 40. But that cost is totally... More worth it. Theres almost no flaws, and the ones that exist are not even obnoxious.”
