1Hey, did anyone ever notice, the Toa of the Green is blue-green? It says so in Legacy of Evil, at the beginning. I notice it didn't say on BS01, and I think even Greg forgot. I didn't want to make a new topic, and I didn't know where to put this, so I figured that if I put it here it would at least spread around. Thought that was interesting.

1I know, but maybe that was a decision of Gregs and the set designers might not use it if a set of that type comes out.
1About my question of the number of Makuta, I was refering to the story, but he answered about the sets. I'll ask him to clarify this discussion. *Walks over to PM system* 
2And as to the "for the most part" discussion, whichever one/ones they are could simply have had their armor crushed and are inhabiting robot/s/ or spiritless body/ies not compatible with those powers. Or one of them could be the one who ran into Conjurer.
3
4Actually, GregF stated that the Makuta shot by Conjurer was unaffected.
1is Icarax part of your count for the Makuta sets next year?
1Does anybody else think Kopaka's new mask look's like a Great Ruru?
1Sorry to bother you, but I need a confirmation on something.
2Could the Barraki salvage parts from Maxilos and other things around the pit to make air breathing devices like Ehlek had, or would it be too complicated of a device to build, let alone build six?
3Thanks for answering:
4No. Being a robot, Maxilos has no need to breathe, therefore he wouldn't have any tech that could be used for that.
1Does anybody else think Kopaka's new mask look's like a Great Ruru?
2That type of discussion belongs in the Official 2008 Sets Topic and no I don't
1Hi Greg, trying to send you these again:
21.) Do the Nuva mini-teams have leaders? Just for the sake of someone to make the decisions? 31a.) Is Tahu still considered the Overall Leader of the Nuva? Is he in 2008?
42.) Does Chirox's Team (I liie thinking he is the leader) have mini-team leaders, possibly? 52a.) On a whole, how well would you say jis team works together? 62b.) Is there an actual name for his team, since they are coming out at diff. times?
73.) Was there anyone around to see Matoro use the Ignika? 83a.) Were the Phantoka Makuta (The whole team) in the area when Voya-Nui crashed back into place?
94.) Are there any Rahi in the core? 104a.) If there are, did they migrate, or are they native?
115.) You mentioned that Antroz, Chirox, and Vamprah don't really have a choice about carrying Gavla, Radiak, and Kirop around. Is there... something they want from them? 125a.) Is there any paticular reason for the Phantoka Makuta's Loyalty to MoMN?
136.) Are all BOM members the same age, or did they join at diff. times?
147.) Since the Core is technically a swamp, and the water has mutagen in it... might it have some diff. affects on those who are exposed, since they are not fully submerged, and they are not in an Ocean enviroment?
158.) Are there any Makuta next year who specialize in Mutation of creatures next year?
16Thanks in advance:
171) I did not make a big point of giving Lewa's team a leader. 181a) Yes and yes 192) Yes 202a) Fairly well 212b) Well, they are all Makuta 223) Yes 233a) Yes 244) Yes 254a) They migrated 265) You'll find out in '08 275a) Same reason just about all Makuta are loyal to him -- because it's his plan and if it works, they win big. 286) All created at the same time 297) It depends on if they are exposed at all. You can live in a swamp but never go in the water, right? 308) Yes
31YES::: A Makuta that specializes in Mutation: Sweet: That, and the Makuta did see Voya nui crash back down...
1That's some useful information there Hydrobious.
1Hey, thanks. I think thats why the Makuta went to the core, and how the BOM discovered it in this first place: Chirox and his team saw ~~~ Use the Ignika. Makes sense, right? Besides, having a Makuta that specializes in Mutation of Creatures is awsome...

21. Can you confirm that the summer villain sets are Makuta? 32. Will the purpose of the Staff of Artakha still be revealed in the blog despite its whereabouts currently being unknown? (I myself am thinking repairing the mainland's dome...)
41) They are Makuta, just not fully powered ones. 52) Yes, and you will see it in use in Chapter 9 of the blog

21. How come the nuva didn't go into kaita groups, wouldn't it have worked better? 31b. Are they working on a new kaita, or can they not go kaita in these new forms?
42. What are the Nuva's mask powers? 52b. Do the makuta's have mask powers? 62c. If so, what.
73. Can Chirox, Antrox and Vamprah use earth, fire , and water? 83b. Can they contro lshadows too?

9You have to PM Greg to ask him a question
There's a link on the first page.1After PMing Greg for the third time in over two weeks, I finally got a reply (the server ate my first two messages). I sent a follow-up question, but he hasn't replied yet, and seeing as how I sent it almost immediately after I got my answer, while Greg was still online, I think it's likely it got eaten... again. Anyway, I don't have anything that good, but #1 is sorta interesting.
16I'm guessing for #1 that it's because those are the six types of Matoran inhabiting Metru Nui. I asked Greg, but, as mentioned above, I think the message got deleted.
2Hi, Greg. This is the third time I've sent you these questions--I must have really bad luck, because the first two were apparently eaten by the server (one sent on the 5th and one sent on the 10th). I just had a few questions, and since I've seen a bunch of them answered already in the OGD, I've removed most of them. If you have this message three times and just haven't gotten to answer it yet for whatever reason, I'm sorry. I just figured that after waiting five days and seeing that other people were getting answers, that my PMs must have never reached you.
3Hopefully this one will get through:
41. Are the first six elements we learned of more common than the rest, or does it just seem that way because those are the elements of the Matoran and Toa that the story focuses on?
52. Being a former member of the Hand of Artakha, does Shadow Stealer know about the Order of Mata Nui? 62a. If he did, would he tell the Shadowed One about it?
73. Will we ever learn more about the tunnel that eats light in Karzahni?
84. The first Toa team had eight members. Did all Toa teams have 8 members at first? For that matter, is 6 even the standard number, or is there no standard number?
95. Now that the Mahri are on Metru Nui, has Dweller just missed his chance to attack Takanuva?
10Thanks in advance, and please excuse me if you got this message before and just haven't gotten around to responding yet.
111) I am not sure that I would call them more common, but I think I would say more important in the eyes of the Great Beings. 122) No, because SS was never recruited to be in the OOMN. 133) No plans for that anytime soon 144) No. Toa teams have as many members as they need for the situation at hand. So there really is no standard number. 155) Nope. The beauty of Dweller's power is he doesn't have to pop out of hiding and go toe to toe with you, he can drive you mad from a distance, and it really makes no difference if there are other Toa around or not. But the Dweller situation will be resolved in the books next year.
16I'm guessing for #1 that it's because those are the six types of Matoran inhabiting Metru Nui. I asked Greg, but, as mentioned above, I think the message got deleted.
1Hope Takanuva will be all right...
2Well I remember Greg saying that he has a crucial role next year so I can't imagine him being driven mad.
3Wait Greg said that 08 ending will be more tragic than 07 maybe he plans on killing takanuva in 08 4(don't hope so:::::::::
5He hasn't completed his destiny,don't worry.
6And Jaller will probably stick around with him.

8Guys lets not drag this off topic again, if you want to discuss what takanuva's destiny is find or make a topic for it. No offense but latley this topic has been dragged off topic alot, its a bit frustrating.

9Sorry
1Hello Mr Farshtey. I was hoping you can answer these questions for me please
21. What are the Phantoka, and what info are we allowed to know at this point in time
32. Is the heart of the visorak a energy,amulet or some kind of stone, or a being
43. Is the heart where no visorak go, or where it is greatly populated by Visorak
54. If a matoran was injected with hordika venom, would that make a matoran hordika or something
65. Ive noticed that Kopaka Nuva's going-to-be mask looks like his old original ones. Are the nuva's new masks simply upgraded ones of there own, or completely new ones.
76. Finally, since the rahaga were returned to there original forms [toa, does that make the population of toa now 56 or such.
8Thank you for your time
91) Phantoka is an umbrella title for the January 2008 sets, the three Toa Nuva and three Makuts sets. 102) You'll find out in Chapter 10 of the Nuva blog. 113) See answer to #2 124) He would be faced with the same issue of having to deal with his inner, bestial side 135) They aren't new ones -- same mask name and power 146) 55, because Matoro is dead.

1Hi Greg
21) You told us you would tell us the OoMN leader's name once it has been approved. So can you reveal it now? 32) Have you already decided where Spiriah is hiding? 43) Will Spiriah appear in a book or in online serials? 54) Will the rebuilding of Metru Nui be finished by the end of this year or next year or none of both? 65) A theory about the Heart of the Visorak: if the SoA is used in tandem with the heart, it can repair much larger objects. True or false? 76) Is it possible to make the OoMN leader a combo model for the LEGO Magazine next year? 87) Are you answering questions for the German "BIONICLE - Das offizielle Magazin"? Because when responding to readers' questions, they sometimes claim to have asked you the questions and are quoting your answers.
9NtM
101) No, I am going to reveal it next year. 112) No, I don't need to know that right now. 123) Don't know at this point, odds are serials. 134) It will be finished by the end of this year 145) False. HoV has nothing at all to do with SoA. 156) That is up to the Brand team and whether they ask us to do a combo model 167) I have answered questions for the UK LEGO Magazine and for BIONICLE.com, I have not received anything from a German magazine to my knowledge.
17Comments 181) Well, it was worth trying 193) Guessed that 204) Am I sensing some SoA involvement? Those little Matoran wouldn't be able to complete it that fast... and Greg already said somwhere something in Metru Nui will be fixed with the Staff. 215) Okay, there goes my theory. 226) At least there is a chance 237) *feels a little angry at those folks* That explains why most of their answers to fans are wrong (e.g.: The official name for the Mahri Nui Matoran is "Mahritorans")

20A while back Greg stated there were 50 left, the Nuva, Inika, Takanuva and other Toa we didn't know about, oh and Lessovik I think was one he named back then.
1Don't forget Krakua, The first Toa and the Toa in stasis on Ordina.Anyway I got these from Greg.Nothing major tho.
21)What does the Toa Terrain Crawler do once it has served it's purpose?
32)Are the villain Av Matoran have a slightly beastial or savage nature or is it just their appearence?
43)After the Ignika unleashed Matoro's energy,did it just fall down the waterfall into the Core?
54)Do you have an opinion of the Spiriah combiner(The combiner itself)?If so can you comment on it?
65)Will the next book go into more depth about the Barraki being permanently trapped in the pit once the Mahri teleported?
7Thank you.
81) Most likely cruises the ocean, looking for food 92) You'll find out in 2008 103) Yes 114) I work for LEGO, so sort of a pointless question. It's not like I would say something bad about it even if I thought it, right? 125) No, the book focuses on what happens to Matoro at that point, and what happens after that.
1Let's hope this'll clear something up:
5~CN
2Recently, there's been confusion on BS01 (accualy, they've been confused for about a year now
3~CN
4I never said they shared a dome. Keep in mind that things like often include a lot of what the author/designer thinks. I have not sat down with anyone and gone point by point through a map of the world.
5~CN
1If Sidorak, Roodaka, and Keetongu shared a dome, that would be one mad coincidence.
~1If the av matoran could use mask powers then why takua couldn't use his?
2Maybe that's why it was scrapped. Or maybe they planned on having those Matoran really well mentally diciplined.
3Probably cause takua wasn't wearing a mask of power. Anyways, I had some answers from greg, but when tried to click on 'reply' I accedentally hit 'delete' 4Toa Zaxvo
1Nobody else is having any problem with Greg answering? I asked some Qs on the 10[supth[/sup, and then some on the 15[supth[/sup, but neither are even marked as "Read."

5He hasn't been on often the last few days though, (At least when I've been on) so he may just be busy with work and simply hasn't gotten to your Q's yet.
