Hello again! Today I'm reviewing 70778 Protector of Jungle, one of the new BIONICLE 2015 sets (BIONICLE's back yay!). Unlike the last review this set was not donated to Brickipedia by our friends over at The LEGO Group. I bought this set along with the other protectors in the rush when the new sets went live on shop.lego.com. So, is this set worth it? Read on to find out!

Box and Build

Like the other new BIONICLE sets the box is a hexagonal shape and is made out of a thin cardboard. Last review I compared it to the Speedorz boxes but after some thought its like a box of crackers. Inside the box you get 2 bags of parts and an instruction manual.

In the cover of the instruction manual is a short comic that depicts the Protector fighting fighting some skull spiders, loosing and then being freed by Lewa. Nothing to see there.

New and interesting pieces include:

  • The new head and eyestalk
  • Skull Spider and Protector masks
  • Clip on armor that resembles a Mata torso
  • The new rapid fire 6-stud shooter
  • Recolors of the bones/shells in Keet-orange and trans green

The new shooter is wonderful. It can hold 6 studs and trust me when I say it shoots far. It works because of that little yellow insert (which does not come out). There's a ridge on it that pops off the studs and sends them flying. Its a pretty simple concept, it kind of makes you wonder why nobody thought of it earlier.

The build is short, simple and fun, and a lot better then that of your typical Hero Factory set.
