*Has flashbacks of nearly all lime socket pieces breaking*

[@kancerdakrab88]

They are painful

[@luigi7781]

Just like vakama. But minus the lime pieces part.

[@abqarishauqi6312]

so it not because im careless as a kid :/

[@Jmgjgdjd5]

same with Ehlek

[@jonaswest6993]

@@abqarishauqi6312 Nope, I was disappointed in myself as a kid that I broke a Bionicle one day....It wasn't a hand I had tons of I could throw on a pair of new gray ones and still kinda have colors match. It was the lime green foot joint making it worthless now. Then the leg...And hands. His freaking skull mold broke bro! 🤔 Like what? How!

[@Pinkanator]

Jeez, looks like Vakama's spent a little too long in silent hill.

[@Pinkanator]

***** Nah.

[@LM-1378]

"Some people might not like the colour combination though". Man, are there **any** colour combos "BIONICLE fans" actually like? :P

[@thecomicman6890]

Color* and my favorite color combo is Red with Black/Silver.

[@LM-1378]

The Great Spirit "Color" is the American spelling. Both are correct. What shade of red?

[@thecomicman6890]

Oh right, my bad. Sorry I was buying some new sets from Target, Tahu and Kulta vs Ekimu. My favorite shade of red is metru red or if there is none, Mata red.

[@tommycorp9297]

+The Great Spirit it is colour in the uk

[@thecomicman6890]

+TommyCorp Yea I figured that out.

[@eyiss7236]

POV: It’s 2007, you’re 10 years old, you buy Hali and Lesovikk. You get home and build the both, you give Hali the speeder because you think she’s cooler. Lesovikk on the other hand, you accidentally break the lime green joint on his right arm. You hide it in your underwear drawer for 3 weeks until you’re mother finds it. She takes away your allowance for the next 2 weeks for breaking a toy.

[@Mothbean]

This feels personally charged

[@jonaswest6993]

Correct, I had the evidence it was the damn green pieces but they never believed a kid with bins of still good pieces

[@CrimsonMoonM]

There isn't much going on with Lesovikk build-wise. However, he and his sled does manage to be aesthetically pleasing nonetheless. Plus it's very much appreciated that we got a more proper-looking Toa of air out of the year.

[@magmorix3883]

Sometimes a think they made this sets as a consolation because they knew Kongu wasn't liked that much among fans

[@HunhowsShadowStalker]

+Olav Kongu was still a better set than Hewkii in that wave.

[@magmorix3883]

RED Soldier Ok....

[@aight9151]

lesovikk was the first set to have a vehicle that could fit the new generation toas

[@Mothbean]

​@@HunhowsShadowStalker I'm weird in that I like both Kongu and Hewkii Mahri. In fact, I don't think 2007 has a single bad set.

[@tyfive99]

Dat dusty Huna tho

The dust is real

[@tyfive99]

[@vincaman5664]

+thescottman25 its asking for it! Its even got an underwater speeder the theme is water and the blasters fire better underwater weirdly.

It's actually a sea sled

I can see the dust on Vakama XD

The dust is real!

[@iek_2003]

@@lucascalebcabacungansuelto7963 Yeah you're right, idk what I was thinking

[@Onyxgamerhead]

I feel that lego could've gotten away with calling Lesovik, Kongu.

[@owenkonsmo1454]

I think this is the first video where Eljay's actually given an explicit opinion, even though he talks about it in the disclaimer for every video.

[@ThrillaWhale]

Really? _Nobody_ in the comments section knows what the missing mystery piece was??

[@magmorix3883]

I'm pretty sure it was one of the wheels behind the turbine.

[@stana72]

I don't think so.

[@RayShadow278]

Yep, correct

[@G-0]

It was one of the shoulder pieces, I would know because I got the set and it was missing that piece. Bought it off Bricklink years later lmao

[@pokaru2581]

I was looking for that too 😂

[@olivierbellavance1962]

Hi, I recieved Lesovikk on christmas back in 2007 and I remember the set was missing a piece. The exact piece is the round grey motor piece that is joint to the black rotator. I remember using the same piece in yellow from a Lego Batman set to fill the gap. Hope this will help!

[@GhabulousGhoti]

Did you mention the battery-eyes? I always thought it was an odd choice on him, since he had no vision-based powers. I was never a fan of his sword, and always wished he had the Jaller sword or something. This one just looked awkward for him to hold.

[@EljayJohnsen]

Ghabulous Ghoti It's a shame, because I recorded this review twice since the first run had poor quality audio. In the first run, I did mention the eyes. I have honestly no idea why I didn't bring them up again. My sincerest apologies!

[@GhabulousGhoti]

TTV Eljay It's cool, accidents happen :P

[@thepigmeat4819]

Eljay Johnse

[@antimatterstudios8395]

Glowing eyes were dope man

[@EmmanuelTran]

the missing piece is in the area at the bottom of the ship that you pointed out. It's the one just behind the rotor/propeller piece.

[@TheLegend63577]

I'll be surprised if the missing piece is a cordack missle

[@AmazingDirtHunter]

what kongu mahri should've been

[@fighterx9840]

Yeah, well except he would still wear the Kanohi Zatth (mask of summoning) instead of the recolored Kanohi Faxon (mask of Kindred)

[@Biofan813]

Always love this et. felt like a call back to takanuva and his ship from 2001.

[@Vor1ki]

2003

[@Nathan_Wagner]

Eljay!! You forgot to mention that his eyes light up!!

[@iek_2003]

I love how NOONE ever mentions Lesovikk's light up eyes.

[@Vor1ki]

Yeah I noticed that

[@bruhfeld9600]

Im of the firm belief that if any of the 2007 sets were gonna get light up eyes it shouldve been Maxilos. It was fine with Lesovikk but really felt pointless

[@mintakamothkind]

I like how both the legs and the blades at the back of the vehicle make it resemble some sort of crustaceous or insectoid creature. It's a very nice design element.

[@ganto401]

Hah, Vakama got shelved! You didn't even bother to dust him off! I'm surprised you didn't make another lime green piece fragility comment, but I'm glad you did a story-based joke.

[@francisco4benites]

I loved how he didn't show the battery eyes most likely because they already died out smh

[@RarEcringE]

The first case of monkey arms Could have used them to get to his friends if he didnt hesitate

[@atcqrapfan]

I always wanted to get this set, I absolutely love the combination of dark green and lime green.

[@Giowolvan]

Mine had the silver silidrical part aka 4299119 missing. Also I got mine as a limited edition in Germany in Legoland, but I haven't seen it anywhere else. And honestly, I think Lesovikk's lime parts are the easiest to break out of all the Bionicle lime part sets (in my personal experience). And the set is basically a parts pack, because of its simplicity.

[@2songs617]

Eye's light up. Cool story bro.

[@PietroMarcer]

I loved how he looked when I was a kid. I remember looking everywhere to find him, but I wasn't able to get one.

[@teanomeano123]

I remember having him, it's probably a recycled bin by now 😭

[@isaacvolker]

Loved the Ryan the "Mad King" joke at the end! :)

[@RayShadow278]

Oh great, I knew I was missing a piece. Yep the missing piece in Lesovikk is the part of the turbine connecting the fan to the rest of the bike. Also I miss the 2001 lime green pieces, THOSE didn't break

[@ShinyUmbreon100]

That Mad King reference made my day.

[@auxometer]

*we* need to find the missing piece that got this set recalled

[@Drunkege]

Does he have the piraka eye piece that glows?

[@KraataCollector]

Drunkege A Random Guy Yes.

[@flameflamedramonva]

My friend had a Lesovikk from before the recall, what he eas missing was actually both thigh armor pieces,

[@Zwarlie]

The only place I ever saw this set for sale in LegoLand Orlando back in 2007.

[@johnsheppard7175]

I just wish Lego would drop the whole 2007 line again, but with stronger lime green pieces. I would buy the whole line in one order.

[@Miru_Man]

I saw Lesovikk for sale in the LEGO shop back in 2007. That's in the United Kingdom. Maybe because we don't have walmart in the UK?

[@Jmaster-99]

Go home Lesovikk. You're drunk

[@person.w9780]

Vakama was so dusty, how long has he been on then shelf?

[@VortexKiller2]

Lesovik: *has very fragile Lime Joints* Lego: "Nothing to worry about here at all guys..." Also Lesovik: *has a missing part* Lego: -Nothing to worry about here at all guys...- "THERE IS A CATASTROPHIC PROBLEM HERE ABORT ABORT!!!!"

[@DarkWringer]

I still don't get why the floppy shoulder armour is a con. Would people rather they stayed in place and hindered his arm articulation?

[@weegee_hates_the_blind]

i think after the disappointment that was kongu mahri, this set makes up for that

[@Saiyangoddess72]

Nah, kongu didn't have lime so he's significantly better

[@brentonvelasquez4875]

@@Saiyangoddess72 in terms of durability sure, but anesthetically, Lesovikk is far more appropriate for an agile looking Toa of air.

[@nihili4196]

I've never broke lime joint before. I did the gray ones, I did the blue-ish ones that matoro had, but each of my lime joint are whole. They're loose, but not broken

[@bobbyblob4067]

The missing piece was one of the grey wheel pieces used in the vehicles jets.

[@TheCollectorsOasis]

If the lime green pieces were a production error then why did they never fix it

[@jonaswest6993]

Green sets, Brown sets and black usually I think never sold well. Thus their plastics quality went down 👇 Toys for kids are a business these Hours of entertainment aren't free

[@TheCollectorsOasis]

@@jonaswest6993 just because they didn’t sell well doesn’t mean they should make them cheaper than the rest Idk lots of people liked the green and black characters and even the brown Idk why kids didn’t I was a kid and loved them

[@vortexthecomplex5369]

They did fix it in 2008 I think... but they changed the molds so the joints were still fragile. So the only somewhat durable like joints are from the Nui-Rama and Keelarak. (As a side note tho, I heard that the ‘08 joints aren’t as fragile as the ‘07 lime joints, I don’t have either though)

[@TheCollectorsOasis]

@@vortexthecomplex5369 ya the new joints were awful which was an issue across every color

[@hexazalea]

Dusty vakama is dusty. Buy a compressed air can like for computers. More importantly the missing piece was one of the parts that the black propeller attaches to. I mentioned it might be missing to the store and they let me check to see if it was there. it was the only part not in the parts bag so it had been recalled and sent back out.

[@TyLoudon]

I really enjoy Toa Lesovikk, I think that really he has an innovative build with the vehicle, and I personally enjoy his story. (Including the alternate universe stories) Eljay, I completely agree with all the pro/cons that you had to say. well done. You did Lesovikk justice.

[@MaximumTechnological]

Some have mentioned it already but it wont hurt to remind again that the con you missed are the eyes. This is aquatic set, kids would want to play with it in the pool but the eyes uses batteries and electricity so.....

[@ShadowBionics]

I know I'm late and not sure if anyone mentioned it, but it was his eyes. He was recalled because some sets were missing the eyes. Mine wasn't so I didn't have that problem. If my memory isn't failing me, that's what it is.

[@k4tgames212]

the missing piece was one of the grey system wheels behind the black turbines, my one friend got this set and had to buy a new set twice in the same day because the piece was missing

[@LM-1378]

K4T Games At least he had a bunch of extra lime green parts. ;)

[@Lolxlol21_]

10:30 The Aqua bike reminds me of a shark.

[@TahuMata1888]

The reason Lesovikk's body is strange when you, Eljay, mention the cons is because he was transformed to look strange by the Pit Mutagen, such as his hands lower to his knees & a claw as his chest pad

[@Blue-Rain]

You forgot the light up eyes that came also with irnakk, piraka, vezon and umbra

[@elementalgamer0732]

This is my favorite Toa of Air and second favorite Bionicle character. And thank you Eljay for finally PRONOUNCING THE GUYS NAME FOR ME! You have no idea how long I've been butchering his name. My first favorite is Gresh.

[@lukerazer9565]

The missing piece was a Kordak rocket my friend told me he got one and it had one less than your one.

[@Blue-Rain]

Lesovikk: why do I exist? 😢 Me: lesovikk. Lesovikk: huh?! Me: you are made a toa for a reason 😊 Lesovikk: I feel... better Me: what was wrong? Lesovikk: I got my toa team killed by the zyglak *mnog end theme plays*

I've been really looking forward to this review, I think he is my favorite 'Toa' unfortunately I never got him. I love him because he uses my favorite color, lime.

[@TheAxelandx1]

he is my 2nd favorite toa, Lhikan being number 1,and i managed to get him last year

[@alfiechenery4146]

I really like him too. He may be my favourite toa. However I hated his vehicle because it costed a lot. So I used brick link to order the pieces for just lesovikk and it was really good and not expensive.

[@magmorix3883]

+Alfie Chenery that's what I do for most sets :P

[@alfiechenery4146]

yeah I did the same to get lhikan but not kikanalo

[@theakiwar9118]

+Alfie Chenery I did the same to get all the toa mata. Like 5$ per set. And to fix some lime pieces. All hail bricklink

[@chriscorrea7259]

omg I got this way back on my birthday. I literally broke him in a month though because of the lime green pieces :(

Nocturn was also a set without exclusivity here. I think maybe the rest of the world too

[@colinroberts2060]

So THAT's why I don't remember seeing this guy anywhere. I never knew till now that he was recalled.

[@ThomasStevensontutor]

What was it about the lime green joints that made them especially fragile?

[@joshuaagpawa4098]

Something went wrong with cooling the pieces after the were molded so some air pockets got into the plastic. This made it very fragile.

[@petera.michaelsen4657]

I always thought that vehicle was meant for Matorans instead.

[@VKT_RadioStar]

will there ever be a show on ttv that explains major or miner plot points in the bionicle story, some of us cant afford all the books so this would be help full

[@mechanicalmariachi1572]

I remember getting this guy. I lost nearly all his pieces but I still have the mask, 10 years later.

Favorite detail: Shoulder armor. XD

[@SegaChris5]

As soon as you mentioned the missing piece part I was freaking out cause I thought I lost a piece back when I got mine back then! I thought I was a stupid teen and lost it. I believe it was a turbine rotor piece thing

[@erickh555]

it was the SHOULDER piece, i was so angry lol

[@RayShadow278]

The missing part is one of the turbines on the Sled

[@sonofastudstudios4552]

To everyone with broken lime joints I suggest using parts from keelerak

[@RangerJackWalker]

This is like many other sets where they're pretty good without any real problems in them except for the crippling problem (literally) of lime green joints. What a shame.
