Actually, it's Pohatu that is kicking the rock around and yes, it has two
technic axle balls. Tahu is the red and orange one with a flame sword. Tahu does
not come with two-just clarifying for those seeking the set in question.
If that is the part you are looking for, then your best values for your buck are
Pohatu, C-3P0, Stormtrooper, then the other Toa (in that order). We did a study
of this back when Bionicle first came out.

| (...) Thanks Lindsay and Kyle for the info! I picked up a Tahu set and confirmed it had two. Now I have a source for some of those parts. I appreciate the help! Tom (25 years ago, 3-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)
