Who was your first Bionicle?

[Dalek CAAN]

I would like to know. :3

 

For me it was Onua Nuva, which is odd because Onua isn't really my favorite.

 

 

 

 

[Pohatu: Uniter of Stone]

Pohatu Phantoka. I'd been following Bionicle since 2006 but my mom didn't approve. I found out about Bionicle in 2005 but didn't like it, since I couldn't tell who was good or bad.

[Toa Green Ninja]

Krekka, though I don't love him.

[AdaptingChaos]

Hordika Matau

I keep the Hordika team close to my heart.

[Dalek CAAN]

Hordika Matau

I keep the Hordika team close to my heart.

 Me too, I remember getting Nuju and Matau Hordika for my birthday then giving my older brother Matau cause that was his favorite. :3

Kopaka Nuva. I was so amazed that the next day I begged my dad to get me Tahu, but he wasn't in the store so I got Onua instead. Two days later, after searching every Woolworths and toy store in the east coast of Scotland, I found Tahu, and the 12-year phase began

[Nidhiki of the Shadows]

Toa Mata Lewa or Tahu. Since my brother was the one to get Lewa, but he has since given it to me. So I guess that counts?

Cool bro! I remember for me it was either get Hordika Matau or a Toa Metru Two Pack with Nuju and Matau. But I went with Hordika. 

[randomreviewerbros]

I think it was Sidorak but Im not entirely sure because i got Hordika Vakama, Kualas and Roporak around the same time, thats why i like 05 so much because it was my first year of truly collecting the sets

[JAG18]

Pohatu Mata; good set still like it.  

[Portalfig]

Boogarahk I believe. Whatever the blue Visorak's name was. 

 

I remember saving up for so long, so I chose the most powerful set I could. Because, let's face it, those blue guys were so OP if their powers were actually used. Haha =P

[Nescent]

Tahu Mata, when he first came out. Although I missed out on years 4-6, and generally consider Hewkii Inika to be my first.

[Tuuli]

Kopaka Mata, and he is not my favorite either so don't worry though without him I might not have become a bionicle fan as I am now!

[Cambion]

and so the eternal topic decides to show its wrinkly, toothless face yet again, painstakingly inching its way back onto the forums with the aid of its trusty walker

 

(whenua metru)

[xccj]

Gali Mata. The thing with her was the set was missing the yellow eye stalk, so I was confused as to how to put on the head piece.

 

[Klak]

Onepu, McToran edition.

[dotcom]

I might have gotten a Rahkshi or two as gifts beforehand (maybe????) but the first I remember getting, that I bought on my own, was Vakama Metru. The Metru as a group are still some of my favorites.

[Jacks]

Turaga Nuju, followed in a few days by Turaga Vakama and Kopaka Mata. They were Christmas presents. I think the only sets I got were gifts for a number of months -- I believe the first set I purchased with my own money was the Boxor. I remember saving my money for a month to get that

[Pomegranate]

Gahlok! Saw it at a KB Toys at this biiiig big mall in Jersey, thought it was the nicest looking one and I thought it was the coolest, most unique thing I've seen come out of Lego. I was 6 or 7 at the time, I think, so it probably took at least half an hour for my uncle (who was only around 14 at the time, I think) to help me work out the instructions and put it all together while sitting outside several stores. Those pins and axles and ball joints were a completely new system to both of us, it was quite the adventure I ran around the mall head-snapping my Bohrok at everything, it was a lot of fun.

[2Tie]

McToran Matoro if you count the mctoran, otherwise i got all the toa and turaga for christmas 2001. First one I built was Lewa.

[Banana Gunz]

Interestingly my interest in Bionicle came much later. My first was Icarax, which why I tend to have a biased respect for him as a Makuta.

[Sumiki]

Nuhvok Va. My grandmother and I had no idea how to attach the Krana to its back and ended up gluing it on. I found glue flecks in my parts bins for years.

[Rahkshi Lalonde]

Vahki Vorzahk, but i gave it to a sibling after getting two Boggarak and Vezok.(starting a trend of "get the blue one first!" :u)

[fenderbender336]

My first Bionicle was the original Kopaka. Still the coolest in my opinion oh, and its good to be back on BZPower after atleast a decade!

[bioniclepluslotr]

Mine was Pohatu Mata. Found him in my parents room the week before Christmas.

 

Pohatu Phantoka. I'd been following Bionicle since 2006 but my mom didn't approve. I found out about Bionicle in 2005 but didn't like it, since I couldn't tell who was good or bad.

why?

[Toa Smoke Monster]

Toa Mata Lewa or Tahu. Since my brother was the one to get Lewa, but he has since given it to me. So I guess that counts?

Those two were also the first two sets I got back in 2001! Except I remember getting both of them at the same time from a Toys R Us.

[Prime Axiom]

 Tahu. 

[scyther_grovyle]

Gali Mata, really loved the story and tried to make up my own continuation. I read the catalouge with the story summary like hundreds of times (there weren't books/comics here).

[Vspinax]

Pahrak-Kal! still one of my favorite sets today

[jed1ndy]

My first BIONICLE set was actually 2 for my 7th birthday: 8727-1 Toa Jaller and 8730-1 Toa Hewkii.

[emily]

I went for Kopaka first because he featured in that neato comic I had gotten in my LEGO magazine. Next were Pohatu and Tahu, with the former also featuring in the comic and the latter already making his place as an icon of the line. Then Lewa, then Gali, and finally, one day at the store, I screwed up the courage to ask my mom if we could get the last one, Onua.

 

I'll tell you what, those sure were fun times.

[Adventurer]

Onua and Gali Mata - I chose to get Onua first but got Gali as well and built her first.

[OnuaNut]

This takes me back to Bionicle Comic #1, which I read over and over again. And even though Kopaka was the featured Toa, Onua stood out to me more than all the others. The LEGO Mania Magazine promised a July release for the Bionicle sets, but it wasn't until late August that they landed in my local stores.

 

I remember very clearly leaving for school and asking my mom to please check at Toys-R-Us for the "Bionicle Onua" set; and when I got picked up from school, Onua's canister was waiting for me in the car.  

 

[Kuurai]

Onua Mata for me Most life-changing Christmas present ever!

[TheWatchfulGuardian]

Turaga Vakama. My brother got Whenua at the same time.

[Munty]

I can't remember!!! It was either Tahu or Kopaka as a friend and I got one each. Which one was mine however is not something I remember

[Tea-rex]

Bohork Pahrak. I found him at a jumble sale.

The first boxed one I got was Balta.

[Glenfoxx]

I unwrapped the gift at a tender young age of 7 or so, and low and behold, my eyes fell upon a most intriguing sight! There, in my hands, was a canister with fateful words, Lego Bionicle.

I held Destiny in my hands.

Haha, Onua was my first, and his parts still serve a purpose in my MOCing. He had it all! He was black! He had claws that swung around! He controlled Earth!

Eventually Gali and Tahu joined the team, and thus began a steady stream of Bionicle till it's definitive end. Onua has a soft spot in my heart understandably, but the role of Favorite fell on Lhikan years later. After all, he was a "Gandalf" figure and he gave his life for others .

[Zeddy]

Pohatu. My dad went abroad and bought it for me, even though he didn't know what it was (besides something Lego-y). Bet he's regretted that decision ever since.

[Cheatster9000x]

The earliest set I remember was Onua Mata.

 

I had Lewa Nuva next, and I made Onua and Lewa fight, I didn't know the story, i thought Onua was the bad guy.

 

I think lewa may have had a krana on his face from Nuhvok? (I don't remember if that was his name, it was the black one.)

 

And to think that I didn't know the story, but I had Onua vs Krana-Lewa down pat (except onua was a mata but who cares amiright)
