1Wow good find sgran that was something i didn,t knew.
1This doesn't really have much info...
21) What is the title of BL#2? 31) Not releasing it yet. When I released the title of #1, people on BZP complained that somehow it was spoiling the story for them to know it, so I am not sharing #2 yet.
42) Sidorak and Krekka come from the same island. What connection do they have with each other (were they enemies friends, don't mnow each other, etc)? 52) They didn't really have any connection. Krekka's species was sort of an underclass -- they were guards and hired muscle. Beings like Sidorak might employ them, but he didn't associate with them otherwise and wouldn't know one by name.

1QUOTE 21. I noticed Roodaka is always reffering to Sidorak as "weak" or "ignorant". And personally, I do too for him letting a pyscho-path "let your friend get eaten by a mountain" viceroy whos really ploting against you fiend take a comfy seat in your throne while hes away. Now, as I just said, I "used" to think Sidorak was just a big stupid cool dude king who controlled a legion of bugs. But then I saw a quote from you in a topic that said that a lot of people thought Makuta was dumb also for always making his plans so obvious. But then you flipped the tables when you said "Makuta does this to make his enemies think they know his plans, but really don't because theres more to them" or something like that. So than I thought, wait, Sidorak, the Visorak King, who has conquered so many lands before now, is being tricked by a his very own viceroy(what ever she is.)? No. I wanted to know, is Sidorak just truly ignorant, or is he really more clever & more sneeky than we know?
32. Does the Mask of Light have anything to do with Roodaka's plans? Also, can you tell me what we will learn this year about the Mask of Light? Now I don't want to actually KNOW the answers, just if we will learn them. 4A-Where did it come from? 5B-Why & how did the Rahaga get/have it? 6C-How did the Hordika incase the MoL in the totem & why didn't they open it sooner? 7D-Will it be used this year? 8E-Who created it? 9& F-What is the link between the Avokii & the Kraakan?
10Thanks for your time:
111) As far as Sidorak "letting" her be on the throne when he is away .. that is a viceroy's job. They rule when the king is busy. Makuta appointed her viceroy, so Sidorak does not have the power to change that. Sidorak is not stupid -- Sidorak is a user, who does not consider the possibility that he himself might be being used. He's a smart being who can't imagine anyone else is smarter. I know a lot of people like that.
122) You will learn B and half of C, and I can tell you the half of C we don't go into. It wasn't used earlier because the legend stated the Herald had to FIND it. The Turaga could not just hand it over to someone and say, "Here, let's use this." It had to remain hidden on Mata Nui until legitimately found by the being who was destined to find it.
13And no, it does not have anything to do with Roodaka's plan for this year, as that plan unfolds in the movie and the MOL is not in the movie. The MOL storyline is in the comic and the web.

1Hey there Greg,
21.) What do you mean by "limited invisiblility" with the Mask of Stealth? Do you mean limited duration (less than Noble Huna?) or that it's less like invisibility and more camoflauge?
32a.) Do you have handy the real names of the Masks of Telepathy, Shrinking and Quick-Travel? (Ie. names like Pakari, Ruru, etc.)
4Thanks a lot
51) The latter. 62) Telepathy is Suletu, I believe ... Kualsi is Quick Travel, and Pehkui is Diminishment.
7Greg
1Mask of Telepathy? Who has that mask?
1Oh, I completely forgot about that. Suletu... I think that is a much better name than Kualsi and Pehkui, but that's just my opinion.
1Her's some answers:
21) What is the name of Nidhiki's mask?
32) How would the Visorak use the Avohkii to defeat the toa?
41) Doesn't have an official BIONICLE name at this point. I only had a couple days to write the story, so there wasn't time to get a BIONICLE name for it cleared through Legal.
52) They wouldn't. But the Mask of Light would be a powerful weapon against the Brotherhood of Makuta, and the Visorak would for the Brotherhood. So they don't want the Mask of Light in the hands of Toa.

1A couple of days ago, I PM'ed Greg with a suggestion for the Dark Hunters guide coming out next year - I suggested that maybe there could be a short section that had an 'excerpt from a Dark Hunter's journal'. Here's his reply, and an answer to a question to I had in regard to the reply.
8From Greg's answer to my question, I get the feeling there may be some betrayal in the Dark Hunter organization at some point during the year. Perhaps it involves Lariska, the female Dark Hunter in BA#10...
2Thanks very much for the suggestion PM. My plan, actually was to write the book from the viewpoint of the Shadowed One -- kind of like the dossier he keeps on his Dark Hunters so he chooses the right ones for the right missions. What do you think?
3Greg
4I like that a whole lot better: Honestly, I think it's a great way to look at the Dark Hunters, and I think it may also reveal a bit more to us about how The Shadowed One's mind works. And it makes sense, because The Shadowed One would require information like a Dark Hunter's powers and personalities.
5I have a question about this, though. Is there a possibility that The Shadowed One could be keeping an eye on Dark Hunters that he believes could be traitors or something of the like? I mean to say, are there or have there been any Dark Hunters that attempted to betray TSO or the DH organization? Or would they be too afraid of TSO's power to even dare to try?
6I'm truly enjoying the way this whole Dark Hunter organization is working.
7My answer to that would be ... that you will find out more about it before this year is over.
8From Greg's answer to my question, I get the feeling there may be some betrayal in the Dark Hunter organization at some point during the year. Perhaps it involves Lariska, the female Dark Hunter in BA#10...
1Even if there isn't a risk, it's always good to be prepared. Just look at Batman. He has files on every single Justice League member in case they go berserk. Just because they haven't yet doesn't mean they won't. And Batman's a superhero. The Dark Hunters, on the other hand, are evil, scheming individuals who would most likely stab Tim (my nickname for The Shadowed One) in the back first chance they got. Tim has to keep tabs on every DH in case they get too ambitious, and have to be...removed. 
1I think I should post this here... Greg just said something in response to a post of mine in this topic that I think is really coooll....:
4Please note he didn't fully confirm it... but still, this sounds uberneat.
2bonesiii: I'd like to see, personally, that someday down the line, the island of Mata Nui does become important in some way. One idea that I've said before is it'd be neat if the Toa discover the Bohrok need to level it for Mata Nui to awaken, and they'd have to go back. But that idea might not work so well. *shrugs*
3GregF: Well, one thing Bones commented on that I can pretty much confirm is that, at some point, the Bohrok will have to complete their mission, and it will involve Mata Nui of course. But whether Toa would need to be there while they do it, I don't know ..
4Please note he didn't fully confirm it... but still, this sounds uberneat.

1My latest from Greg. Pay close attention to number seven.
2Hi Greg,
31. I asked this one before, but the server "ate" the PM. When Toa Iruini and Toa Norik are released in the United States, the will be available in the catalog and on sites like Amazon.com, right?
41) Yes
52. Are the Toa Hagah still being released in August in the US because sometimes sets come out earlier than originally planned?
62) Far as I know, yes
73. Do you ever wish you could write a flashback dealing with the Toa Olda?
83) Not really. The Toa Olda were in canisters for 1000 years, and I have no concrete info on what they were doing before then, so not much to write about.
94. Why were Toa Nidhiki and Toa Dume going to be released as sets together in the first place? Did they know each other?
104) No idea. Wasn't my suggestion.
115. I am getting the feeling that the Toa Nidhiki described in the encyclopedia wears a mask that is the same shape as Toa Iruini's. Am I correct?
125) No. I have no idea what his mask shape is. The only connection between Iruini and Nidhiki was that the model was originally (for about five seconds) going to be Nidhiki. Once we decided it was not, end of connection between them.
136. Why is the Toa of Fire always the leader? If you could pick another element to be in charge, which would it be? Probably ice?
146) Because the red models are traditionally the most popular in fan polls and in sales, so it makes sense to keep them front and center. Go into a toy store when new Toa have just come out -- the red ones are always the first to go. Also, Fire is a very active element -- ice tends to be more cerebral and more of a planner, where Fire is taking action.
157. The Brotherhood of Makuta had the Toa Hagah as protection against threats so as not waste their powers, but did Mata Nui have any guardians? If so, where were they when Makuta cast his spell?
167) Read BIONICLE Adventures #10 in December for the beginnings of an answer to this.
178. Are the Turaga jealous of the Toa Nuva? I mean, the Toa Metru saved the Matoran's lives, but they do not even remember and the Toa Nuva are held in high regard.
188) It's certainly possible there was some trace resentment.
199. You said that the Toa Olda were originally supposed to look like their Nuva forms, but something happened to them. Are you going to elaborate on this soon?
209) I don't recall ever saying that. What I have said is that the Matoran were originally planned to look like their 2003 forms, but because of the piece limit for McDonald's toys, the models had to be scaled down. The Toa Nuva model style did not exist until late 2001, after the original Toa came out.

5No, no, no, that was a BZP theory, which I was one of the main people that thought it was the case. It was based on a misunderstanding; Greg never actually said that as far as I know.

9Was it not stated his guardians were the Olda? Or was that just educated-speculation? Anyway, I'm 90% sure that it was stated that Mata Nui was willingly put under, he thought it would be good, that something was wrong with him, hence the line, "Sleep spares him pain." After all, I'm 100% sure Greg said Mata Nui was able to make preparations so gravity and time and what-not would stay together, so you'd think he'd have known what was coming. Asuming that's mostly correct, the Olda would have been put under too. No?
1Nothing new,but still post worthy....
2QUOTE 3Hello Greg:
41)About Karzahni (I'm talking about the ruler of Artakha).....is he still alive? 52)If yes to 1,will the Toa ever encounter him? 63)Can you describe Krakua's personality? 74)Can you describe Lariska's personality? 85)300 Toa....were all of them defeated by The Shadowed One? 96)For being capable of battling Makuta,The Shadowed One must be pretty powerful... 107)Who is your favourite Dark Hunter? 118)Who do you think is the most powerful of the Titans? 129)You said that,product-wise,you don't like the Toa Hordika.What do you don't like about them? 1310)Can you tell me Lariska's powers? 1411)Still talking about Lariska...will she be a model? 1512)Any news about a RoodakaSidorak combiner?
16Thanks in advance:
171) No idea. 182) Again, no idea. 193-4) I prefer people read the books and draw their own conclusions. Since neither of them figures into anything for 5-7 months, I don't think this info needs to be known now. 205) Again, read the story in the Encyclopedia. I am not going to give the plot away 5 months ahead of time. 216) Yes 227) Probably Lariska, but only because I created her. 238) Probably Keetongu 249) I don't recall ever saying that. My only complaint with any BIONICLE sets is that I wish there was more differentiation, which is something we are addressing next year. 2510) Read the story. 2611) No, no plans for that right now. 2712) There isn't one, to my knowledge.

10Um...Third Faction, anyone?
11Remember? Greg said that we would find out about the mysterious Third Faction that wanted the Vahi in BA #10. Since Mata Nui is on the Toa's side, wouldn't he be okay with the Toa having the Vahi? And we know these Third people are okay with it, so put two and two together...
1@ May 25 2005, 08:50 AM) Um...Third Faction, anyone?

3I don't think so. Would you really call Toa a "faction"? I suppose if you had a special "alliance" of Toa you could call it that (something like the BoM) but Toa as themselves, I really don't think so. Besides, I thought Greg had hinted that the 3rd was evil-ish... or did I imagine that?
1Guys, please continue discussing that theory in an S&T topic, not here. 
1Few more things about the DH building contest:
91) Yes 102) Yes. Remember, there were Toa that the false Turaga Dume sent away before the events of Legends of Metru Nui. 113) I can't give you numbers, but several centuries passed between the war and the events of LOMN, so certainly some joined. 124) Don't bother trying to write it as TSO, that's my job.
2Sending more than one picture to show off different functions, etc. of the model is okay, right?
3(relating to my essay) 4Were there any Toa besides Lhikan left after the Dark Hunter/Toa war?
5Have any (if so, about how many?) DHs joined the organization since the big war?
6Finally, I think planning the guide entries to be like the Shadowed One's "personnel files" is a really neat idea, but should we write our essays from his point of view, like he's telling us about his minions, or will there just be a little blurb from him on the side of the page, with his personal opinion on each DH? (like the Rahaga in the Rahi Beasts guide)
7Thanks in advance:

25) Again, read the story in the Encyclopedia. I am not going to give the plot away 5 months ahead of time.
3Now THIS piques my curiosity. Where did you get that information? That's very fascinating.
4-TBOM-
5Greg posted it.. I beleive it was in the Official Dark Hunters Topic in S&T....
6EDIT: Yep: here.
1New stuff:
11Ikki
21. I now you had nothing to do with the MNOLG at all, but do you know what happened in the Charred Jungle (near Ta-Koro)? Will it be covered in the Encyclopedia?
31) No and no. As you said, I didn't have anything to do with MNOLG, and not even that much to do with BIONICLE back then except for the comic.
42. Several places, I've seen you say that Norik is Gold/Red and Iruini Silver/Green, when Norik is actually Silver/Red and Iruini Gold/Green. Was that just by mistake, or is that how they're supposed look like?
52) No, just my mistake. I don't have the sets and so am going based on my own faulty memory.
63. You also said Nidhiki was all-green, and not Silver/Green. Wouldn't the latter be more logical, seeing as Lhikan is Gold/Red?
73) Nope. Because Nidhiki didn't come from the same place Lhikan did, so no reason he would need to be dual-colored like Lhikan. After all, neither Matau nor Lewa is dual-colored, so why would any other Toa of Air be?
84. This is simply a suggestion, which I've thought a while about. I was wondering, if Lego could possibly stop making the comics, and focus more on the books instead? It's only my opinion, but I thought you might like to hear.
94) Wouldn't make sense, from a LEGO perspective. Let me put it to you this way -- a book that is successful might sell, oh I don't know, let's say 200,000 copies (I don't know exactly how many BIONICLE books sell, but that is a nice round number). Seems like a lot, right?
10But the BIONICLE comic reaches over 1.5 million people every other month, plus all the people they show it to, plus ones we give away and plus the ones we reach when it is included with the UK magazine or in the magazine they are doing in Germany.And since the point is to get the story out, you are actually reaching way more people with the comic than you ever will with the books. If the books disappeared tomorrow, we would still be doing the comic for the same reasons we started it -- because it is still the best way to get the story out to the most people. No, you can't go into the detail you can in the books, but not everyone wants that much detail.
11Ikki
11. I now you had nothing to do with the MNOLG at all, but do you know what happened in the Charred Jungle (near Ta-Koro)? Will it be covered in the Encyclopedia?
2I'm almost positive it was burned down in a battle between the Ta-Koro Guard and Makuta's Rahi. I'll see if I can verify that...
3That was already discussed in an S&T Topic, don't bother.
That's what Ikki's question is based on. 4See here.

2I'm almost positive it was burned down in a battle between the Ta-Koro Guard and Makuta's Rahi. I'll see if I can verify that...
3It was. To put it in Kapura's words: "Makuta burned down this jungle. He planted a part of himself in every tree. He sees all. I'm training"
1In a previous question some one asked whether Mata-Nui had any guardians like the BoM, you said we would find the beginnings of the answer to this.
2Although it is a rather jumping the gun, were these guardians the Toa Olda/Nuva?
3Nope

5Well, now that I think about it, did these protectors play any role in the Toas' creation?
6Haven't made that decision yet.
1Hey Greg. I've been wondering something based on some things you've been saying... basically, are Toa an "endangered species" at the time of LoMN/Mata Nui/current time? You said that there were about 300 Toa in the DH war, which took place on Metru Nui. You also said that the reason you had to have Krakua be from the future was that if he was from the present it would raise the question on why he didn't come over to Metru to help out.
2So if I'm understanding this correctly, there is a shortage of Toa all over the place at the time of LoMN? You had said at one time that it's possible many other Toa groups could be in operation at the same time in different places. Obviously that was the case near the founding of Metru Nui. We know that these 300 Toa of the past knew about Metru Nui, obviously, so if any of them were in operation at the time, I would think it would be just as possible for them to come to Metru Nui was it would have been for Krakua (unless the barriers Makuta set up would prevent it?).
3So.. were most Toa wiped out in the DH war? Or maybe by the Vissies over time? And then Lhikan's group would have been the last ones? And in LoMN when Krekka called Lhikan "the last Toa" he was being quite literal?
4Or could it be that the other Toa that are around are just too far away or have no method of communication with Metru Nui?
51) The Toa who came to Metru Nui during the DH was were summoned by Turaga Dume to come help. During LOMN, there was no one to summon them because Dume was Makuta, and Lhikan had no proof of that so he wasn't going to summon them on his own. By the time he had a real inkling, it was too late.
6Those 300 Toa I mentioned, plus more, survived the DH war.
7Toa do have a fairly high mortality rate based on the nature of their job, but I would not go so far as to say the Toa Metru were the only Toa left in the universe. They were simply the only ones in the city to deal with that situation. It's a big universe.

7Someone paid attention.
1Hey, Greg, two quick Qs about somethings that came up in the Evil Toa topic...
- 2Do you know if the Bahrag slept/are sleeping while captured in the protocage? Except when the Kal were present, obviously. It was portrayed that way on the web, just wondering if that's official.
- 3Also, were the six MOL Rahkshi Kraata killed in the final battle when Takua was Toa-ized? Specically, did Turahk's Kraata survive being blasted by light? I was under the impression that all six survived and were used in the UssaNui.
41) Not to me, they're not. 52) I am not aware of any of the kraata being killed in MOL. There is no mention in the script of them being killed.
1Hey there Greg. I realize the chances that you can answer, or know for certain yourself, are slim, but I was really wanting to ask:
2A.) The 300 Toa in the DH War... were all of them either Air, Fire, Water, Ice, Stone, or Earth? Were there any Sonics or other Toa during this time frame that you know of?
3B.) In the future, is Krakua a special case like Takanuva, or are there different kinds of Toa all around, in addition to the 6 varieties we're used to? (If this will be mentioned in BA#10, I can wait.)
4Thanks a lot
51) Offhand, I doubt they were 300 Toa of just the six main elements. I would think there were others mixed in there as well, as it would get pretty dul[l otherwise.
62) I would definitely like there to be other powers. That is why I wanted new powers for the contest, to get an idea of what powers you guys want to see.

1Here's what I asked. Not sure weather this is old news or not.
11Well darn. Despite that last answer, I'll always imagine at least a few Matoran there. That's the wonderful thing about Lego: Imagination:
2Hi. It's me again. Just figured I'd ask my batch of questions, which you probably get all the time. Here they are:
31: Do you ever get tired of answering all these? I imagine you get tons every day.
42: This is a big question. As far as I know, the past Toa have been Matoran before they became warriors. The current Toa (Pohatu, Tahu, Gali etc.) camefrom the sky in canisters, have better control over their elemental powers then the previous Toa, and seem to have been described in Matoran legends before they actually came. They seem to be revered by the Matoran, and their names derive from Matoran words for the elements (The LE in Lewa, for example, means "Air", much like Le-Koro mean "Air Village"). So, this has lead me to wonder: Are the current Toa the elemental spirits made physical, or this is something that has yet to be revealed?
53: I know why all the Matoran left Mata Nui, but weren't there any who didn't want to leave? There's bound to be at least a few who wanted to stay on Mata Nui rather than travel into a dangerous unknown. Didn't ANY of them stay behind? And, if not, were those who wanted to forced go?
6Erm...that's about it, thanks
71) Not generally. 82) Basically, my feeling is that those Toa were never Matoran, and that their reason for existence was to safeguard and aid Mata Nui should something ill befall him (as it did). I do not necessarily believe they are somehow "better" than say the Toa Metru -- they have better control of their powers than the Metru simply because they were Toa for years longer. The Toa Metru had no one to train them in their use of powers, so they were basically rookies. 93) Nope. Where would you rather be, given the choice? The place you now know was your home, where you can be with the vast majority of your friends and help to bring back the Great Spirit Mata Nui? Or on an island where you will most likely spend your time dodging wild Rahi attacks, and that is assuming the Bohrok don't come back? I am sure the Matoran, all of them, do have some sentimental attachment to the island .. but remember that one of their three virtues is Duty, and their duty is to the Great Spirit. That duty can best be exercised on Metru Nui. Mata Nui was just a safe haven, it was never meant to be their homeland.
