Lucky in Canada it cost 40 dollars back then. I remember going to the toy store and wanted to get axon but had to settle for a toa inika. Which was 14 dollars.
I remember the Christmas morning when I got this glorious monster. When I first saw him on TV, I knew I had to get him. When I finally did, I didn't touch any other presents, the next few hours was dedicated to building him. To this day, still my favourite Bionicle, and it will be amazing if anything in the new sets would top him :)
@@jasmineirwin7166 if you can get him in good nick, it is definitely worth it. Best of luck finding one friend (also, I can't believe this comment is 6 years old. I was like, 17 when this vid came out lol)
larrisAWSOME lol. I took apart my takanuva for parts as a kid. When I regretted it latter, I remade it with what parts I could find. Couldn’t find pistons so I just used like 3 of those bohrok gear stick thingys for stability. It worked to hold it up but barely and limited articulation to an insane degree Other than that the only issue I had remaking it was that I lost the mask
Is it just me or does Brutaka look more like a MOC than an actual Set? He just looks way too detailed and solid than the other sets... BUT, then again he IS a Titan, so I suppose that's Expected.
Thats legit the first thing i thought when i first saw him. "WHY THE HECK IS THIS GUY SO GOOD? HE IS A FREAKING ORIGINAL SET! IT'S AGAINST THE FREAKING RULES!"
He looks like a moc because nothing on him is intrusive. He dosent have a obligatory yearly launcher, or a cumbersome light up sword, or abundant blue and red pins. Just a solid build.
My favourite titian is Vezon and Fenrak. I love the design and I remember discovering Kardas in the Bionicle comics and trying to build him out of Fenrak and two Brutaka (I didn't have Axxon) without any instructions. It was a mess but still great memories.
The only thing I don't like about Brutaka is that extracting the hidden blades kinda detracts from the overall look of the set. I feel like the blades are an integral part of the torso, as they pretty much simulate Brutaka's back muscles: taking them out turns an otherwise imposing, ripped-off warrior in a skinny, disproportionate guy.
I didn't even know that they were supposed to be another set of arms until I saw them that way in the Bionicle Heroes game. I just thought they were supposed to be his shoulder blades back in the day.
Yeah, so do I... Especially since spines curve. Shame this one doesn't like an actual spine and looks more like something you'd see a scarecrow stuck to, huh?
My favorite titan would be Axonn, but a very, very close second would be Gadunka. I actually think 2007 had the best titans ever with the aforemention Gadunka, Maxilos and Spinax, Hydraxon, Karzahi, and Nocturn, despite being him being fairly forgotten.
Eljays opinion? I saw both Axoon/Brutaka reviews and its sounds that Eljays haves less cons to mencione about Brutaka.Eljay also like the style of Brutaka building and height proporcions, but most of us have to give more credit to Brutaka, in every single way.
Just rebuilt my own copy for the first time in almost 16 years. Pretty sure it's the tallest figure in my collection, and that includes the super robot I spent $300 on
Not that I think anyone will see this, but I’m not too opposed to having “open gappy legs” for the most part, at least in instances like this. I think it gives an almost hydraulic look. Which the pistons very much cater to for me.
I remember my 5 year old self thinking that this guy was the golden piraka. I asked for him for Christmas but ended up getting irnaak instead i was a little disappointed, but i practically worshipped irnaak anyway.
sometimes I still try trick other fans into thinking it still exists, in the meantime I also tried to trick them into thinking there was a jerbraz set you can easily guess how that ended.
Am I the only one who liked the exo toa the best? I also digg Takanuva and toa Lhikan, but that is for the toas and not the actual titan-part of their sets. The boxor comes in on a close second, and the bahrag queens, only because I dont actually own them. Something about those 2002 titans that were just nicely complex, back when bionicle still had enough to do with classic tecnich
2023, just bought a used box of bionicle parts for $20 and i had no idea that the majority of the parts for this beast were in the bottom, only missing some of the technic pieces and the sword
I'm extremely excited for the Maxilos review. I've gotten almost every single bionicle set, and to this day Maxilos remains my favorite. He was the only one my young self never took apart for moc-ing.
In my humble opinion, Brutaka is the best Bionicle G1 set. He looks cool, is built well, the Olmak is such a cool looking mask, and he's so detailed. Plus, gold/bronze and blue just look great (maybe my Ravenclaw bias is shining through)
now that I finally own both maxilos and brutaka I can objectively compare them and I gotta say I prefer brutaka. his legs and overall color scheme are better plus the extra arms on his back. also the biggest problem with maxilos are his slim feet that make balancing difficult at times (comparable to roodaka). however maxilos has spinax which is a big plus. overall I'd still say brutaka is the best titan set. I wanna hold some rahi and vehicles in my hands before judging whether it's the single best G1 set.
Since 2006, this is one of the few Titan Sets that I can officially call a titan without hesitation. He's suppose to be big and LEGO made sure that they built him to looked like it. As for the daggers, while I'm not a huge fan of them, I don't dislike them. To be honest, I just kept them folded on Brutaka's back and forgot that they were appendages. XD
my favorite one was brutaka because on my maxilos the elbow joint cracked and me not at the time having parts to fix it took apart maxilos I still regret it to this day
After that, he spent five years studying Jamaican warfare in Russia. And since he got back, the accent has stuck. For those who don't know what I'm talking about this was from Bionicle Comedy Central's "Court Room Drama #1: The Phantom Verdict".
Brutaka and Kardas. The only problem I had with Kardas was the somewhat haphazard color scheme and the somewhat anticlimactic wings, but for being a combiner set it couldn't have been better. Brutaka still looks better on the whole because he's his own set.
I remember distinctly buying two of these guys and neither one came with his weapon pieces of all things. The mask and all the other parts were still there. Weird quality control issue for me specifically.
Sadly, the vast majority of my Bionicles are gone, however, I am overjoyed to report Brutaka is among the handful I still have and he is 99.5% complete, missing only a hand piece.
Got this when I was 7. Now I'm 17. I rebuilt him a few days ago, just missing 1 piece. It's amazing how I managed to keep most of my Bionicle parts this far. Most kids my age broke or lost half of their stuff while I still have my Matoran sets from 2003 when I was only 5 when I got them. Just can't find Axonn's axe, Gadunka's tongue and that one tube peice that goes on one of Brutaka's legs. Also Maxilos has one peice that broke when I took him apart so I can't put him together either. I wanted to order a new one online but the sets are so expensive. I can't afford it. Brutaka is like a few hundred dollars. ;_;
+Stashmaniac Go to Amazon look up varying sets, then look for it used/ slightly used, should be much cheaper (I know of a brand new Visorak Boggarak for 15.00) hope this helps. :)
I think he is better than Axonn. Axonn's body is out of proportion as his hands are way to big. Brutaka like axon had actual finger hands that fit his size rather than using the metru hands with no fingers and are much smaller for a titan of his size. I like his color scheme more, and his torso looks more like a human torso than axonn's does. Most of the cons you mentioned are all very minor.
Honestly I like the hands it makes him feel so much bigger from normal toa size and I don't really have to much problems with his proportions not many titan sets have articulated hands.
Hey I love your videos and I was born 2001 and I thought that was a weird thing because I loved Bionicle since I was 5 and Bionicle began 2001 but back to my question are you going to do hero factory not that I like the story but I just wanted to know

@@jasmineirwin7166 I'm just an old man with a cane now

I don't get all the hatred against the pistons, they actually do add a whole lot of stability, how do people not get this?
and they are supposed to be robots and pistons are very important in movement
larrisAWSOME yeah. they are robots, after all
larrisAWSOME if the actually didn't have the pistons, it'll be like Roodaka all over again with stability.

Yeah but most titans while they are complex still dont look as cohesive and whole as brutaka, but i still love most of the titan sets tho
Thats legit the first thing i thought when i first saw him.
"WHY THE HECK IS THIS GUY SO GOOD? HE IS A FREAKING ORIGINAL SET!
IT'S AGAINST THE FREAKING RULES!"
@@fly7045 after 2005's titans, specially Sidorak in my opinion, Brutaka seems lile something on a completely different level.
He looks like a moc because nothing on him is intrusive. He dosent have a obligatory yearly launcher, or a cumbersome light up sword, or abundant blue and red pins. Just a solid build.
Matthew Brown bruh why does everyone hate the light up swords those were dope

Seth Sukal H'e's quite cool! I also am a fan of Roodaka. :)

DrMaddWorld Yeah I'm not a big fan of the set form either.
20$ back in the day everyone
And 80$+ now :(
Tarantulalover 01 actually the lowest on bricklink is around 36 dollars
[spoons rattling] yeah but you also have to include shipping :) plus it was 80$ at least in Canada two months ago :)
Tarantulalover 01 hmm i looked the shipping wasnt to bad on that offer
[spoons rattling] yes but as I said, this was two months ago and I'm only speaking for what you could find in Canada :)
Brutaka looks like he never skips leg day
He doesnt skip it
Brutaka did the piraka feet-as-hands thing first. He wins.
The only thing I don't like about Brutaka is that extracting the hidden blades kinda detracts from the overall look of the set. I feel like the blades are an integral part of the torso, as they pretty much simulate Brutaka's back muscles: taking them out turns an otherwise imposing, ripped-off warrior in a skinny, disproportionate guy.

"Some may consider the large beam in the back to be a con"
Yes I also consider the fact that spines exist to be a con
Yeah, so do I... Especially since spines curve. Shame this one doesn't like an actual spine and looks more like something you'd see a scarecrow stuck to, huh?
Usually i would put this on r/woosh, but i love you too much to do it
The pistons are fantastic and give the legs way more strength. Brutaka is one of the best builds EVER
What its Really $20 ? BOO NEW BIONICLE !! $20 DOLLARS NOW CAN GET YOU SMALL THINGS !! WHAT THE HECK !!
@MutantToaHangara inflation and Lego raising prices over the years.
Lego today is pretty overpriced
When I was a kid I had the option to get him but I chose roodaka, how naieve I must have been.
Roodaka is a great set as well, you don't go wrong with either one
My favorite titan would probably be Takanuva from 2008. He comes with an awesome spinning staff, awesome mask, and great stability.
That beginning was great.
i love you.
Oh hey there Nick.
My favorite titan would be Axonn, but a very, very close second would be Gadunka. I actually think 2007 had the best titans ever with the aforemention Gadunka, Maxilos and Spinax, Hydraxon, Karzahi, and Nocturn, despite being him being fairly forgotten.
Agreed. The Mahri/Barraki sets were my favorite
ACriticNamedKevin I only have 2 titans, Nocturn and Gadunka.
I disagree. When people says so, is because they have only Axoon, and not Brutaka, and they say so, to make themselfs fell better.
No, I'm pretty sure Axonn is his favorite because that's his opinion and he can't be wrong about that.
Eljays opinion? I saw both Axoon/Brutaka reviews and its sounds that Eljays haves less cons to mencione about Brutaka.Eljay also like the style of Brutaka building and height proporcions, but most of us have to give more credit to Brutaka, in every single way.
Wow, just realised how much the Fallen Vandals in Destiny look like Brutaka
Rowan?! What are you doing here? No way you're a Bionicle fan...
Rick Barnes Uh... yes? what did you think the OoMN stood for?
OoMNagent Oh wow! I never noticed that. I just pronounced it as it was spelled. Anyway, that's really cool man :D
With his Kanohi Olmak, this guy is basically the Bionicle version of Yukari Yakumo.
No wonder he's my favorite Titan.
Just rebuilt my own copy for the first time in almost 16 years. Pretty sure it's the tallest figure in my collection, and that includes the super robot I spent $300 on

People complain about the 2016 Toa having really short shins and really long thighs, yet g1 gets a pass entirely...
I remember my 5 year old self thinking that this guy was the golden piraka. I asked for him for Christmas but ended up getting irnaak instead i was a little disappointed, but i practically worshipped irnaak anyway.
A Toa in 2001 was $6-7... that's what I miss. Sadly they're not on shelves anymore. A truly sad day in history
Anyone remember the pit brutaka hoax?
Right there with you, man!
The what?
sometimes I still try trick other fans into thinking it still exists, in the meantime I also tried to trick them into thinking there was a jerbraz set you can easily guess how that ended.
Can someone explain to me what this pit brutaka hoax thing is?
bmrjw Their were a multitude of rumors and fake images with a new mutated Brutaka set in the Pit for 2007.
What do you mean the piston pieces are useless? I use them all time for mocs they work wonders.
Holy cow, you sure said "aforementioned" a lot.
I had so much fun with this set back in the day, making him fight with Axonn. This is one of my favorites.

I'm extremely excited for the Maxilos review. I've gotten almost every single bionicle set, and to this day Maxilos remains my favorite. He was the only one my young self never took apart for moc-ing.
the piston pieces are there to add extra friction in the joints
Very solid set! I can definitely see why so many people love him.
This is perhaps my favorite Bionicle set of all time.
I hadn't bought constarctions in so long, I thought a 15~20 set was noirmal for Toa.
it is. but wasn't.
But now it is.
But it wasn't then.
Now it is.
Did anyone else swap the bottom half of his weapon around to face backwards?
The reason i got hooked on bionicle is because of brutaka

Fav titan? Holy gadunka!
i had this set complet once but missing mask and blades
Will you review jovan? Its a combination of three of the inika. I forgot the names but it's the water one,earth one, and stone one.
I had one when I was a kid, them memories with this video :)
That Titan joke was funny
i will admit, brutaka is the better between him and axonn, but there's just something about axonn i found much more enjoyable when i was younger.
JayDayX116 probably his gargantuan hands, awesome mask, or large weapon
Big grabby man hands!
I think you preferred him because if his huge freaking hands, the mask, the axe, because, AXonn.
Just bought this today local for $40. It's still sealed in the box. I am questioning if I should open it or not.
Gettin this in a sealed, mint conditon box
What Titan set should I buy I can only afford one so which should I get?
Good video man, ah memories.
my favorite one was brutaka because on my maxilos the elbow joint cracked and me not at the time having parts to fix it took apart maxilos

Takanuva?

I know. It is sad, truly sad that that is so, but alas, it is true.
Terrifyingly true, and proven so.
If brutaka comes back then he'll probably massacre everyone :/
Actually it IS Maxilos- you kinda nailed that one. Despite the low quality of parts in that time period he's an amazing set
Only lime joints were fragile

I used to have Brutaka and I made a moc in LDD who was slightly based on him (mostly the legs)

Just as a help, here's a link:
www.lego.com/en-us/bionicle/story/episode-1
is lewa his favorite toa?
I've always wanted this set. Shame I don't have the money to order it from eBay or something, even then, it'll probably be expensive as hell.
The Olmak should just get renamed to the Mask of Shenanigans.
I bet after Eljay is done with his Recent and Recap Reviews he could do a mini-skit type series kind of like the openings to his reviews.
He's still got 07-08-09 and '10. Between those and the Recent reviews, Eljay will be busy for a *long* time.
Wasnt Brutaka hit by antidermis? What did it do to him
After that, he spent five years studying Jamaican warfare in Russia. And since he got back, the accent has stuck.
