"Despite being the smallest this time around when compared to all the other Toa, Lewa is still a very good set. This set has everything you would want in a set: good color scheme, good parts, cool figure and has a fair price. The mask, although it doesn't really resemble his 2015 edition, looks nice and the silver is a good blend. The color scheme in general blends extremely well, with the green, trans-green, silver, and some yellow making a good mix. The blue brain stalk is not very noticeable, which is good, as it has created some awkward contrast in other sets. The biggest thing I love about this set is the leg design. Lego has finally ignored what they normally do, and made lower legs from scratch. Using the old Skrall Armor connected with the axle and Bohrok eyes work very well. The part that sticks out is slightly noticeable, but the design totally makes up for it. As with the other characters, I wished he had feet in a new color, instead of silver. I'm very happy Lego chose to do something different with this leg design, and it worked. I hope developers see this comment, and try more creative things like this with future sets (and it worked out this time). The Bohrok eyes in the feet, body and weapons are very nice, and I think they add to the bulk of this set. The torso looks fine, and the Bohrok eyes covering the back is a nice touch. Due to the way his arms are designed, he does have limitations in movement. However, it's not too big of a problem. My only major break with this set is the weapons. It looks nice, and it works, but it's too generic, and it has very little detail. The ability to rotate it is fine, but there really isn't anything special with them. It's just the two new sword pieces attached to some blades and a Bohrok eye. Nevertheless, the flaws are minimal and Lewa is definitely my favorite smaller set. More pieces could have been used to make him, but I think he has all necessary things you would want in a set. Overall, Lewa is a unique character (due to the leg design) with some cool attributes. He is lacking in the weapons department, but his positives outweigh the negatives. I'm very happy with this set, and I congratulate Lego for making such a great figure."
I would recommend this to a friend!

"The second I saw Lewa on the shelves, I was shocked. From the beginning, He was my sole favorite. First of all, let's start with the functions. The hip swivel is really useful, but It's kinda squeaky. When you move it too much, It breaks. However, it's easy to fix. A gear on his rear end turns the whole thing!
Next, the helmet pop of function works perfect! Plus, He does not have a huge lever sticking out of the back of his head, which is convenient. The golden mask looks plain awesome, and I love that it fits better than the protector mask.
Next, the weapons are easy to use, and I love the rotation thingummy! Finally, The unity mode looks the best. I created a Uxar out of my old Bionicle stuff, and It looks even better! This function is fast and easy.
The silver and green colors look great! The chest is very inresting, and it is silver. This set looks much better in hand than on the box.
I loved building my favorite toa! My brother was building with me, so it took longer. All in all, great set, and I would recommend it to a friend!"
"I saw some of these sets at the local toys r' us and decided to get some, as I have been a Bionicle fan for a long time a thoroughly enjoyed the 2015 sets. The ones I picked up included Lewa, Onua, Pohatu, and Kopaka.
Lewa's looks by himself caught my attention, he looks great. The weapons and mask are very nice as well, the tonfas work surprisingly well with him. His leg construction is also nice, it's unique without taking away from the set. And his gear function works very well, the friction is good and the tonfas make for all sorts of fun battle poses.
However, his biggest flaw is his shoulders, they way they're constructed limits movement back and forth. However, the shoulders do have an upside as they also allow some occasional unique poses. Overall, they're not a huge problem, but there is defiantly some issue there.
I can say I would recommend Lewa, maybe not as a "must-have" but in my opinion he is worth the money."

"Lewa is a pure masterpiece to behold, he simply is beautiful. His color scheme is amazing and he flaunts a care free energetic vibe. The weapns are a little frustraing to use because they use a pin that lets them move in circles. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the design of the arms and legs. It brings a spark of originality for how arms and legs can be built for any future BIONICLE set. This design DEFINATLY needs inprovements however. The arms and legs both should be longer. Lewa in this instance looks a little stubby and too short with his current arms and legs. The way the arms are connected to the body is the most important problem though. It limits articulation and movement to a frustrating level. Still, this set is nice but I would not recomend it as a starter set. Buy Lewa last."
