Set Information

The set's canister

The Gali set was released in 2001 as one of the six Toa sets. The set consists of 35 pieces.

By combining pieces from Gali with 8535 Lewa and 8536 Kopaka, one can build Wairuha using instructions provided at the end of the manuals for the three sets. The set can also be combined with 8531 Pohatu to make a Mata Nui Cow.

In addition to the instruction manual, the set includes a poster of Gali. The back of the poster featured advertisments for other LEGO products. Additionally, some copies of the set also contain a Toa Mata Mini Promo CD, indicated on the packaging.

The set was included in 65024 The Complete Toa Collection, 65025 BIONICLE Mata Nui Collector Pack, 65130 "Toa 3-Pack 2", K8531 Ultimate Toa and Turaga Collection Kit,, K8532 Ultimate Toa Collection Kit, K8533 Find the Power Kit, and K8554 Ultimate Bionicle Collectors Set.

Features

Gali's arms can be swung up and down by turning a gear in her back. This function can be used to try to knock off the mask of another Toa or Rahi set.

The set's canister represents a Toa Canister in the story. Using heads and technic axles included 8525 BIONICLE Masks, the canister lid could be used for displaying masks, and as a representation of a Suva.

Trivia

• In BIONICLE: The Legend of Mata Nui, Gali is constructed with extra pin pieces attached to her legs rather than her hips. It is unknown whether this was a feature of a prototype or if it was an alteration made for the game model.
