LEGO BIONICLE Toa Mata compilation | speed build

[@colinroberts2060]

Cumulatively, the original Toa Mata contain 216 parts between all six of them. With Onua (8532) having the fewest (30), and Pohatu (8531) having the most (49) overall. For most of the first five years of Bionicle, no canister-size set would have greater than 50 pieces in its construction, even though Pohatu's total would be tied with one of the Toa Metru (8603) released in early Spring of 2004. But it wouldn't be until May or June of 2005 that this record would be broken by two other Bionicle sets released coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Lego system (even though the actual Lego brick didn't turn 50 until 2008). But going back to the Toa Mata, most of their weapons would subsequently be reused, repurposed or even recolored in later sets throughout the theme's run. With only Lewa's "Air Axe" remaining exclusive to his respective set (8535). Although less noticeable at first glance, part of why Onua and Pohatu are the shortest members of the team stems from how they feature axles going through a Technic 0-degree angle element in either tan or the old light gray. Instead of the 180-degree angle elements which would allow the head to connect at a higher position like the other four members have.

Very nice video! Everything looks to be in good condition too, minus a torn page or two on the manuals ^^
