Top Ten RAREST LEGO Bionicle Sets! 

Quick correction - I accidentally said in the video that the orange Ruru masks were exclusive to the Manas - totally blanked on the fact that they came in the mask packs as well, my bad! The yellow Komaus are still exclusive, though, adding to their rarity.

I gave my Toa Mata Nui to my nephew, i believe he still has all the pieces but in storage. Just the other day i was playing with Lego with my niece and the Gold Mask of Life popped up in the pile, i have it displayed now with my new lego sets

It's crazy to hear how short the shelf life was on most of these I recall clearly each and every one being at various stores throughout the years while growing up Bionicle was a huge part of my childhood, and I suppose this really puts those memories in perspective with how quickly time seems to fly now

The most surprising fact was Karzahni only being available for a month and a half. I had no idea I was that lucky finding it in store.

literally showing my childhood

Wow, I still have the Toa Mata Nui set. Never would have thought it would be worth so much one day.

I've never felt as much power as owning every set in this list. However, I am severely broke for buying almost every Bionicle set except the visorak and hordika, so...

Here's a goot tale: I'm from Terni, the second most important town in the centre of Italy. Italy never went by "store exclusives", you could find anything everywhere. In early 2009, my parents were discussing about our summer holidays, mainly wanting to visit Sweden. So, I just asked them if we could visit Denmark instead, which meant going to Legoland in Billund, back when the biggest Lego Store in Europe was right there, so that I could certainly get my Glatorian Legends there, maybe even Toa Mata Nui. Come August, we went there, had a really great experience. Except for Legoland: it was late August and the store had already sold EVERY SINGLE BIONICLE SET they had, there were just some Agori left. I was on the verge of tears, I felt kinda betrayed. The following day, I bought a Mata Nui set before leaving Copenhagen. Two months later, my birthday came around and, guess what, a stupid store in my hometown had that f'ing Toa Mata Nui. And I went right were sets are made to not find it. I guess it's a happy ending, but gosh if it makes me laugh nowadays...

While the Bohrok Queens *can* battle eachother, the Yanking Function was supposed to be used by the Exo-Toa Set.

I loved Bionicles as a kid growing up, and it was the first non-card based thing I started collecting. To this day I still have all of the sets on display in my apartment. Funny enough, the center piece of my collection is a mask that when I first received it, hated it as it wasn't the same color as all the other parts I had. That mask? The pearl gold Kanohi Kraahkan.

Dang, I never realized that Toa Mata Nui shot up in price this much! I bought it used in impeccable condition with box and instructions for 120€ in 2014 I think, and at that time I already thought the price was insane, wow. Times have really changed! I currently have every set listed here, but I never bought extra parts to have the combiners displayed alongside the retail sets they are built from. Do you think it's worth the investment to part those combiners out on bricklink?

It shouldn't surprise me that these sets are so expensive now, but it somehow did. I love the Bionicle story more, the more I learn of it (watched all of Retold! -great stuff) but I wouldn't spend so much on something that would just sit on my shelf. I do plan to eventually get a few old favorite characters, though.

I remember getting my Toa Mata Nui for Christmas when I was about 11 years old. I still have the set, though disassembled.

3:22 I dig the use of Visorak pincers on the sides of this vehicle. Also that big red windscreen would be so good for so many MOCs 😫

I’m surprised 10023 Rahi Master Builder set and Lesovikk aren’t on this list; those prices are nuts compared to the original MSRP!

No one will ever convince me that toa mata nui isn’t an amazing set. By far the crown of my collection. I remember being in toys r us as a kid and my parents offering to buy me a set and I remember my dad pointing out saying didn’t that one look cool. But me and my brother being idiots said we’d rather get more of the smaller sets. So I think we got two of the Glatorian canisters each because then with 4 characters you can make a cool story which is what we did. As I grew up I started playing with them less but still liked collecting them, and at some point I decided I wanted toa mata nui. I remember being so hyped when I won a bid on eBay because I got it for around £50 which if I remember right it retailed for £40 new so it was a good deal, and as a kid I didn’t have tons of money to spend on it so this was already a big enough purchase. I’d also been trying to get it for so long and kept being sniped just as the bidding ended so finally winning it felt so good. Maybe it’s the nostalgia and memories of the story behind it, but even now I have to look at it on my shelf, as the symbol of all of what bionicle was, and my favourite set

i remember a friend showed me his newest bionicle many years ago. little did i know it would be the top 2 rarest set of them all. really cool to see it here, and i hope he still has the set

I actually had the Bahrag (Bohrok Queens) set! Still have them disassembled in a bin somewhere lol. I absolutely loved playing with them, the neck snapping was easily one of the best play functions Bionicle has ever had in a set. Even though it wore the gears out lol

been watching a bunch of bionicle videos for nostalgia, was pretty shocked when #8 on this list turned out to be a kit I vividly remember owning (fancy mask and all). might have to go digging through my old boxes of bits and see if I can reassemble it.

Wow thanks for all the info. I got #4 and #1 in a large Bionicle/hero factory bulk purchase last summer for next to nothing. #4 is my favorite set by far. Love the spider/tank pose ability. Would’ve never guessed #1 was worth sooo much.

great stuff as always, i’d love to see a top ten of your personal favorite sets!

wow what a nostalgia trip this was i had a toa mata nui and the number 2 entry as a kid, which i might even have in storage somewhere wow had no idea they held up in value so much

I always wanted to build the Toa Mata Nui set in silver and grey, with some minor changes to represent the Great Spirit Robot, but I never had the silver version of the mask so I never bothered. Nice to know I have the two rarest sets though. I even have 4 Kardas dragons

I remember getting the Vezon and Kardas set as a kid. Still my favorite set, I have Vezon displayed in my room, but all of Kardas’ pieces are in storage with the rest of my Bionicles. The Takutanuva set also came with a rainbow Mask of Light, dunno if that was in the regular version or not, but I had gotten that set and remembered that being pretty cool, even if the Makuta alt mask was kind of boring

20:43 Best Christmas present ever I still have it displayed in my room 😂

I will never forget seeing Karzahni at our local hypermarket, I was pretty young and obsessed with Bionicle, went there with my mother and father to buy snacks because we were going hiking through the day, I saw it and it was a set I never saw before, even though I keep up with new sets constantly. It was the only one left so I begged my mother to buy it for me, she agreed but only on the way back from our trip, I did my best to hide it so hopefully no one else would take it. Sadly when we arrived back it was already closed, and the next time we went it was already gone. Sad story.

I used to have the Cadoc and Gadoc set. Damn, I had no idea it was so valuable! Time to dig through my old Bionicle collection and see if I still have them boxed up somewhere.

I got number two for Christmas and I LOVE it still stands proud on my nightstand. Still got the original box and always wondered where my mother got it.

Years ago, I had an opportunity to grab the yellow Jetrax at a toysrus for cheap, but I didn't take the chance and still regret it. Also, for whatever reason, the Mata-Nui set never dropped under $99 where I lived during it's store life. That's why I never had a chance to grab it :\

I just realized, anyone who wants to create a giant Bomonga can use the front of the Terrain Crawler!!!

I remember seeing all of these at the store as a kid. Brings back memories.

Amazing video Chris! I can't wait to see more Bionicle Top 10 videos from you!

Great video! I had no idea the karzahni set was so rare! I had that set and I have my gold Kanohi Ignika on my favourite moc on the desk right beside me! :D

I was collecting as a kid up till 2009 with my final being Icarax Madura who I still have. I had K man till my mom donated him and several other complete builds to my town’s school behind my back. Was only ever able to recover a leg and arm of him which saddens me more knowing he was rare even by the time of the series’ end.......the woes of older times.

I went after kardas dragon by buying the 3 titans used to make it separately. It was the only model I wanted as a kid and it felt so nostalgic building it as an adult

I only own 2 of those models but the list alone just a walk down memory lane for me. Tysm!

Fascinating. I never watch anything related to Bionicles, but RU-vid recommended this to me and I actually habe #2 back at my parents home! Clicked because I saw it in the thumbnail and didn't know how lucky I was to get one as a present back then.

I had those blue and red dragon when I was a kid!! I remember spending 2 days trying to put them together and even had a few outbursts not being able to figure it out. The recommended age to put them together was older than I was. After a few crying sessions I did manage to complete them. Good times! I can't believe they are regarded as rare.

Pretty happy to have Karzahni in my collection, I have the seperate versions of the Voporak, Vezon and Kardas sets as well so I at least have all of the pieces.

So cool to see Cahdok and Gahdok on this video. Got them for Christmas in 2002 and still works.

I had no idea the skopio was worth so much! I got it as a kid and luckily still have it! Thanks for the great vid!

I bought my used Toa Mata Nui for 170 dollars in early 2020. I own every set listed here and found them for fairly good prices, specially my sealed Karzahni. I never found the Yellow Jetrax for a good price, so instead I was looking for the yellow shields in bricklink until they showed up for 13 dollars each one on a UK store. Now there are more yellow shields in bricklink for 15 dollars each one, so if you want the yellow Jetrax the best way to do it is to recolor the blue one, the yellow liftarms needed need are very common.

This video caught my eye in my feed since I recognized both Bionicles in the thumbnail, turns out I owned both of those plus 2 others in this video when I was a kid 😵‍💫 No idea where they ended up but this was a great nostalgia trip!

I had no idea some of these have gone up so high! I have number 1,4 and 6 (you can tell when I grew up) and toa Mata nui is one of my so time favourite sets!

Whoa, I've still got the #1 Mata Nui set in storage. Played with it a ton as a kid, it was the biggest set I'd ever seen at a time

I miss Bionicle. Would play with them from when I can remember to about 11, when we decided to sell all of them custom. Sometimes I wish i hadnt sold them, but now I try find some for my brother and theyre so difficult to get now

Wow, the Toa Mata Nui I have, it's split across some different custom models now, but it's cool to see how rare it is now.

Cool, I actually own 2 of those, that being the Barak twins and Takuta Nuva, though a lot of them weren't even available in Germany. Still cool to see a part of my childhood once again ^^

This sent me back, I was around 10 or 9 when I got introduced into the bionicle sets with the later versions and then they stopped making them. I found books and pictures of the OG sets and I practically drooled over how cool they were, except I couldn’t get my hands on them because… well I was a kid and also Lego stopped manufacturing the sets. Lego’s hero factory was nice to have around especially for the kids that got into Bionical just as they concluded the series, but man do I think I was born in the wrong time! R.I.P. LEGO Bionical!

When I was selling off my Bionicles, I had a feeling I should keep my cahdok and gahdok. While I don’t think they will sell very quickly (almost priceless now), it’s good to know how much they shot up in value

In 2010 I was on holiday in Italy and I was incredibly lucky to stumble upon a Toa Mata Nui set at a random large grocery store. Because it was such a coincidence my parents bought it for me. Never expected it to be so rare afterwards so glad that I got it that way. A year later I was at a Toys R Us in Florida where I found the Skopio XV-1 at a significant discount, so also happy to have that one.

I used to have Vezon and Fenraak, and saw the Kardas set when I was a kid, only once when I went to a Target. Never saw it again after.

man i wish i got these, these remind me of lego chima type of creativity with the technic functions that make it look like its moving or changing forms

I just recently got to purchase Toa Mata Nui from Bricklink in very good condition for only 180€. I can't wait to have him displayed in my collection. Always loved his design.

Great video may not be as exciting but could you do a top ten most common bionicle sets?

I remember getting a big mata nui from a toys r us once. I still have it. A lot of my figures started suffering from weak plastic and have started cracking. Though I know I have the container oneas I liked the yellow color.

Never been so entertained watching a man play with Legos. BIONICLE FOREVER

I have 2 sets of Vezon and Kardas with the boxes and manuals, because both of my parents accidentally bought me the same gift for Christmas =D 1 set of Voporak and 1 set of Takutanuva but I don't think I have the box for it. Just the manual. Vezon and Kardas set was and is still my favorite out of all the sets in this video for sure. Loved playing with the dragon and rebuilding it ^^

Was going through my bin of Bionicle parts and found an instruction manual for Number three, I still have the parts as well. I gotta start rebuilding them asap!

Stumbling on Bionicle videos and now I need to rifle through my old stuff in the hope I never threw some of these out

Last week I got a yellow jetrax at an antique/thrift store for $20. It was labeled as a “vintage transformer”. It’s missing a handful of pieces but I think I got it for a good value

I have several of the combined sets. Takutanuva, Roporak, Vezon and Kardas, and also Ultimate Dume, though that wasn't mentioned. I also have Cahdok and Gahdok, and I briefly had the Terrain Crawler (I received it for my birthday, but I wanted the action figures, so we returned it). I remember most of the combined models being Target or Toys R Us exclusives, and I definitely remember the Vezon and Kardas set not including directions for the separate models it was made up of.

I still have my Kardas combiner model, it was such a fun build. I didn't know it ever came out as a standalone until recently

Toa Mata Nui is the only one I didn't collect back in the day. It came out right after I fell off of Bionicle. Looking back, I really wish I picked it up.

I had that Makuta combo with the unique mask, but got rid of it a few years ago, along with the rest of my bionicles bc I thought I grew out of it. Some lucky guy now has a bunch of bionicles worth hundreds

Sick vid. Used to have some of these random parts

Im so glad that I bought these pre covid. I was able to get each for about 100 on eBay except for mata nui which was 150. I think the 2008 takanuva is my favorite titan overall

I got Vezon and Karas in 2006 for the retail price. And TMN without box and isntruction for 5€ 2 years ago with the mask obviously. I also found Star Soldier bootleg TMN, the mask quality is very good, also the sword, which is Jaller Mahri is modified so it works like Inika Sword.

1:27 I just had a child hood memory coke flooding back to me because I remember messing around with some random parts when I was little and I didn’t know what it was for and now after looking at that character I think my dad used to collect them.

Another Awsome vid. Super Awsome. I like the #2 dragon the best.

I do wonder about the special edition Takanuva, the Metru Makuta - both of which came with an exclusive piece. The worst part was that the second set was missing pieces when I built it… And the brickmaster sets, like the Click set

I remember my dad getting me the Titan Mata Nui set for my 10th birthday and holding onto it for years until my mother got rid of most of my bionicles during a yard sale :/ it's disheartening to think that figure so important to the fandom could just be tossed away like that, but I do really hope that wherever it is right now that it's in good hands

So many of these were on my christmas list as a child, I wish I got them back then lol I am lucky to own a couple though, including the Toa Mata Nui.

I miss 2015 when the prices were so much lower :(

I got Skopio when it first came out and I had a habit of taking my sets apart. I still have all the pieces (mixed into my collection) so I’m sure I could rebuild it if I can find the instructions online. I also had mata nui (I’m sure his parts are in my collection as well)

The Toa Terrain Crawler has been the Moby Dick to my Ahab since I was 10, glad I was able to get one complete back in 2017

I have Cahdok and Gahdok still sealed, actually! One day I’ll get around to building them lol

Technically... Mata nui did grew to that size in a way. Toa Mata nui's body kinda reasembles the great spirit robot if you remove the mask. Chunky lower legs, waist with pistons, and rhe robot's is pretty similar to a regular bionicle skull piece.

Nice video, but did you know there is a place #0? 6936 Piraka & Catapult; and probably the Kabaya sets as a honorable mention

I remember building Toa Mata Nui, but then deciding his color scheme was uggo and immediately disassembling him for MOCs. Still have the pieces in storage, thank goodness. And my Scopio is still in the box!

i had no idea how rare some of the bionicles i gave away were, year ago i bought a bulk of used parts, among them was the pearl gold mask, i dont have any bionicles anymore but man i had no idea it was worth so much, still pretty cool for who ever has it now

I bought a Toa Mata Nui just this last month to reclaim one of my childhood favorites, after my mom literally just threw him in the garbage while moving.

I might get the Scopio XV1 soon, I might even be able to get the actual Toa Mata Nui set one day as well

I just pulled my Toa Mata Nui out of my closet.. On the shelf he goes! Had no idea how rare he is.

I remember when I was young back when my family was moving, I had a dream where the house we moved into had a bedroom for us with a giant statues of the number 2 set dominating the area and with a bed in the cavity in the top of Vizon’s mask (I have no idea how to spell his name) which I would’ve used. The downside, I had to actually climb the statue to the bed (not much of a downside though 😁)!

hey duckbricks can you explain how you put one of those mistika jet sets hanging from your ceiling? I just bought a used axalara T9 and I really want to try that.

I didn't know I needed this RU-vid recommendation

ive been wanting to get the kardaz dragon for a while, but wow did i not expect it to be that rare

I have about half of these. I have the Toa Terrain Crawler, the Bahrag Queens, the Jetrax T6, the Skopio XV-1 and Toa Mata Nui

I think it’s really cool to see something that was most impactful on my childhood be collected as it is. Cool story, I have a cousin who is autistic, and since we were children have been playing with bionicle. He owns every set, has bought a bunch of them multiple times. None of them are box new, he has always taken them out, builds them, then decides to make his own OC. So technically, he owns all of these, but none of them are OG in the box. All of them are mixed and matched to make some of the best looking oc bionicles I have ever seen. We used to make up stories within the timeline with his awesome OCs, he was never the main character just the narrator, it was me and my brother who were always the ones in the limelight. My brother being taka nuva, and my personal one being an oc he made, but the name evades me. Always fighting the baraka, visorak etc. and making stories finding the best way to implement the original characters he has made in them. If I can ever get pictures of his bionicles, I’ll link them below, but I don’t think he’s ever really posted what he’s made, or even talked about it much outside the family, even though is always lined with the ones he’s made and most proud of.

Watching this made me appreciate my childhood even more. Not knowing how lucky I was having almost all of these. Just a shame that they were given out to my younger cousins once I moved away 🙃

This reminded me that I have a full toa mata nui in my closet lol just got him out cuz he’s awesome

I had like 4 of these in the list as a kid, the rarest one being the big green guy with the two smaller guys

Are they releasing them now. I had those things with flying throwing discs before bionicle

Crazy collection!!!

I found a 2 pack containing Sidorak and Toa Iruini recently. Kind of an odd bundle and it was definitely rare since there are only a few listings for it anywhere online.

it is very good for you to have all of Bionicle sets, and all the parts as well.

Damnn... I have that number 2 dragon from when I was a kid. I remember spending all my savings because I loved axon.

One of my childhood friends always had good grades back on school, and bc of that (and both of his parents where doctors i think and had a shit ton of money) he has every single bionicle set from ignika to stars getting grey from all the dust in his attic, boxes included, every-single-one-of-them

The only one of these I had was the Toa Terrain Crawler. If I found any surprising, I would say that I never knew Cahdok and Gahdok were that rare, given they were available the longest out of all of the entries on this list.
