Set Information

The set packaging for 8552

The Lehvak Va set was released in winter 2002 as one of the six Bohrok Va sets. The set consists of 27 pieces.

An identical promotional set was released in Japan as 1434 Lehvak Va by the Kabaya Foods Corporation in 2003.[citation needed] The set was packaged in a polybag, which in turn was packaged inside a box alongside a small bag of candy. The 1434 release of the set was labeled as 6+, rather than 7+ like 8552.

By combining pieces from Lehvak Va with 8554 Tahnok Va, one can build the Pokawi model using instructions published on the LEGO Club website. Additionally, Lehvak Va can be combined with 8550 Gahlok Va and 8551 Kohrak Va to create a Bohrok Va Kaita. The Kabaya version of Lehvak Va was also advertised as combining with 1431 Tahnok Va, 1432 Nuhvok Va, and 1433 Gahlok Va to create one of three possible combiners. Only one of these combiners had instructions provided.

Features

The Kabaya version of the packaging

By pushing down on the left arm, the krana on its back will fling forward.

Collectibles

A dark gray rubber krana, randomly chosen from one of the eight types, was included in the set.

Reception

The set's score on Brick Insights across its two iterations (8552 and 1434) indicates poor to average reviews.

Trivia

  • The instructions show the head built differently from how it is presented on the box art. This is likely due to the shield piece colliding with the ball connector. It shares this build with 8555 Nuhvok Va, though Nuhvok Va is constructed correctly on the box art.
