Recommendation: no 7.2 / 10 by -R8-

All in all, the Manas is a set that strikes a balance between both Technic and Bionicle, and could even serve as a segue for younger kids into the more complex world of Technic. On the other hand, it's a great retro addition to any Bionicle collector. Nowadays this set is actually uncommon - at the time of this posting there are less than 10 lots available on Bricklink, most of them over the MSRP. There are a few flaws, but none of them overwhelmingly degrading to the set.
