“It is not a perfect set, but it's definitely not bad. MOCists may only find select pieces from the set interesting, but this set isn't Garan. It doesn't cater to MOCists. This set is great for anyone looking to get a good, fun Bionicle set to play with. Parents, I would... More especially recommend selecting this if you're looking for a gift for your child. It costs less money than buying any of the 'paired' characters this year separately, and they'll probably like the bigger box better anyway.”
