Recommendation: meh 4.5 / 5 from 4 reviews

When I first bought Gahlok-a, I immediately realized how quick and easy the set was to build. In all honesty, it's not a very complicated bionicle set. Technically speaking, you could call this set the Ga-Matoran of the "Bohrok World". One of the things I find slightly annoying AND interesting about the set is how its body can rotate at 360 degrees--something not too many Bionicles can do. The set also has three Kranas that can be used on your actual Bohrok/Bohrok-Kal. These Kranas can be launched from a backpack-like device on the set's back. To use this device, simply place a Krana on it, flick the Bohrok-Va's right arm forward, and watch the Krana fly. To finish this review, I would recommend LEGO Bionicle Mini Figure Set #8550 Gahlok-Va (Blue) only to hard-core bionicle fans/collectors and NOT for people with little or no knowledge about Bionicle.
