Eljay's Recap Review: 8626 Irnakk

[@BerylLx]

Imagine how Thok's parents reacted when they realised how Thok looks just like the creature in their lore.

[@thatguyfromak5190]

benjieboyhero That's probably why he is such a drifter, everyone is scared of him and isolates him except for his fellow Piraka because of the resemblance.

[@zafool4997]

BerylL >implying the modified Skadi give a shit about each other But that is true.

[@MiffedMist]

Combination models should've never been sold to begin with. Would've been easier to design Irnakk as his own titan set.

[@madcombaticus1201]

It would have been easier but Lego does this so that if you want Irrnak (or Ultimate Dume or Takutanuva) you don't have to buy another set. It is really so that every kid can enjoy as much of the Bionicle line as much as they can.

[@streak1burntrubber]

Combaticus But then why did they release it anyway? Why not just keep it as a combiner set and be done with it? Why release a relatively ugly and pieced-together set for people to see in a store? Also, you can't make "Irnakk" with just the piraka sets, as you don't have the extra parts. And even if you had the tubes from something else, say Brutaka, you still wouldn't have the gold spine.

[@bioniclecollective]

I like the incomplete look of Irnakk. Because he is just a manifestation of the myth that Skakdi made up in order to scare their soldiers into cooperating. And he's very surrealistic, and surrealist ideas show oddness and some sort of incompleteness. Like having a dream and having an emptiness in a known environment. But set wise, I can see where you're coming from. Great review, either way!

[@Raptorman0205]

I don't feel people review combo models' color schemes very fairly. And it's not just here, but everywhere. It's nearly impossible to get a coherent color scheme with these types of sets because it's forced to work with whatever sets make it up. Which also accounts for all the weird pieces and open axels, because they have a set amount of pieces to work with. With what they had to work with, it's a very respectable model in my opinion.

[@TsundereSupreme]

Each Piraka came with four zamor spheres, and three Piraka's parts were included, so 4 times 3 equals 12, making 12 the amount of zamors Irnakk is supposed to have.

I can attest that you're correct, dude.

I knew this set was lacking in almost every way, but when he’s going for anywhere between $50 and $200 online, and I find him for less than $40 + free shipping on ebay, it was hard to say no.

[@PBtheViolator]

Didn't Piraka sets came with four spheres each? I only have Hakann and ne nas four of them. Irnakk use five of them in Building instruction, but rest of spheres from Piraka is supposed to go to Irnakk's torso. That's what I think, if I'm correct.

[@twilight_phantom2969]

there's a weird Korean version I believe that uses the other three piraka

[@alfredstromberger9529]

Yup, there was an Irnakk-like build with Vezok's head, and a unique combo of Hakann, Zaktan and Avak.

[@twilight_phantom2969]

[@MetruNuiLegacy]

The Vahki combination models where the highlight for me, especially the spider one.

[@Blue-Rain]

[@CriticalMOCer]

Now I know why the Piraka were afraid of him: he is the Skadi of Rainbows. :)

[@lennytartaglia3305]

Eh. That’s not my favorite combiner because of how he looked, but okay. I wish there is one for Avak, Zaktan, and Hakann in a box (I get that there is instruction for the Protodax, but I would love another Piraka spine with an exclusive color, like a gold Hakann spine).

[@GhabulousGhoti]

A bit odd that you review this but not Ultimate Dume. Ah well. I feel your intro joke was a bit long this time. Just my personal taste, though. This was one of those sets that I always really wanted as a kid but never got around to actually buying. The gold, though out of place, attracted my young eyes.

[@tahutoa]

***** AAAaRrGh I've been impaled by a zamor spear!

[@twilight_phantom2969]

you actually have a good point as ultimate dume does have an exclusive part

[@Misty5906]

[@pripdipstick]

I intend to get this set because I love the piraka and the spine is awesome. However my main reason is so I can revamp it and hopefully pull off that color scheme.

[@ajrr980]

[@bromodragone8405]

I like to think that Irnakk can grab things with his gun-hand by using the skull teeth. And I also like to think that he can use his giant claw-trap-thing to scoop up Zamor Spheres, or an unlucky Matoran, and put them in his hollowed out torso.

[@loran3860]

Each Piraka had four Zamor Spheres, Eljay. That means that Irnakk had twelve total, hence the empty chest cavity. It's storage for the other six.

[@TheSeanSpillane]

Best combination model was definitely Jovan. NO, WAIT. GAARDUS FER SUER

[@madcombaticus1201]

I always thought that Gaardus was extremely clunky, since he had long wobbly appendages. Or are you being sarcastic?

[@jadennguyen5490]

You said "BALL JOINT" when it was a ball socket

[@son_ofspartacus2376]

Irnakk has a LOT more than six zamors, because he has 3 locations they go into. 1 in the launcher, a bunch in his hand thing, and the rest actually go in the cavity in his chest.

Hey, Eljay, two weeks ago you talked about releasing a Mata nui map for minecraft soon but nothing's happened. Can you give an update on that(or I'm just an idiot and can't find it)?

[@Bionicleforever]

I need some help I'm fairly close in total completion of bionicle sets however I am not sure if to include this set and the master builder in with all the others. this is technically just a combination model however I do see many people count this as a stand alone set. same with master builder which really wasn't sold in many places. however I do consider the power pack its own set even though it was rare and exclusive just like these so I'm not sure what to do

[@xanimosityx-s9p]

I consider this to be a stand-alone set, since Irnakk was a legit character. It also has unique pieces (gold spine and tubes) so I'd say it's more than a combo model :p I think the master builder set included a lot of Rahi (if not all) not available elsewhere, so imo it would be good to have.

[@Bionicleforever]

[@biosonic417]

For this Christmas ElJay, review the most mentionable/famous sets of 2007: Barraki

[@SWCRonin]

The Piraka all came with four Zamor spheres, not two. Also, I would argue that the tubes "restricting head movement" is no more a con than the natural head movement restrictions any ball joint connection has. His head has very good articulation regardless of how the tubes affect it.

[@pastaman64]

I see he's armed with a B-Daman.

[@LM-1378]

I really like the look of this guy. He's got a very unique frame with (IMO) a good color scheme.

[@yaoyao9]

Eljay You can check the back of instruction manuals from 2006-on (counting in 2006) for a total number of pieces and their item numbers in the back of the instructions Which are available on the LEGO website in the customer support section.

[@3okayy]

does this mean no P for piraka? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@magmorix3883]

I thought that his original plan was to be an eye-sore. Since he's made of nightmares, I thought he was supposed to look like a messed up hodge-podge. I might be wrong though

I could be wrong, but I believe it was in the instruction books as a protodax? That may have only been a combo model for two of the Piraka.

[@slufffyg503]

I dont really get what he means by its a combination set but you buy it on its own can someone please explain

[@DrowsyOvis]

This set can be made by combining 3 Piraka (Reidak, Thok, and Vezok). But if you bought it on its own, then it gets a custom gold spine and mask that are not include in the other sets (as well as a few other pieces). You can also split Irnakk into Reidak, Thok, and Vezok if you buy the set, as it has all of the parts included. Buying the set, you get 4 bionicles in 1.

[@snurf8465]

How to make the Piraka Kaita without having to go to Korea: Step 1: Get Irnakk, a much-easier-to-get set. Step 2: Remove all golden tubes. Step 3: Remove every black pin that connected the tubes to the body. Step 4: Remove the blue pins holding the spine and the skull together. Step 5: Remove the eye stalk from the spine. Step 6: Place the eye stalk back in the skull Step 7: Place on Vezok's spine Step 8: Use a long black accel to connect the spine to the skull.

[@Unkle_Genny]

[@kstanni87]

All of the piraka come with 4 zamor spheres in each sets so technically it would be implied that he would have 12 spheres out of the box. You say in the review that he has 6 spheres and the official online instruction manuals say he has 6 which isn't much for a claw with too many gaps for shperes to fall out of. So you're at least lucky to have a 6th spare.
