1Is the description for Swamp of Secrets on Amazon.ca true?
2Separated from their fellow Toa, Tahu Nuva, Gali Nuva, and Onua Nuva enter a swamp to search for the Mask of Life. They must find it if they are to begin the process of awakening the Great Spirit Mata Nui. If they fail, death and destruction await them.

2Storyline 31. Mahri Nui and Voya Nui had been recently destroyed. However, Umbra's fate was unknown. Would the most likely circumstance-since he rarely, if ever, leaves his chamber-be that he was killed when the islands returned to the mainland? However, I could be wrong, since the giant can transform into light.
42. While 2008 has yet to begin, is it likely to go smoother than how this year has gone by due to the canceled Invaision?
53. Have you and the team ever considered creating characters who have no powers whatsoever, but are able to survive using their wits and natural strength?
64. As the Toa Mahri have been traumatized by Matoro's sacrifice, have their personalities grown more serious?
75. Onto Toa Lesovikk's side of the story, will he most likely remain with the Mahri Nui Matoran?
86. Since Takadox and Carapar(as I recall) are being assembled into the most unlikely team possible, how do the other Barraki feel about it?
9Misc. 101. When(well, if seems more appropriate) you have time to kill, what do you normally do on BZP or in general?
112. Has the recent snowstorm struck your local area?
12That's it. Thanks in advance, and happy holidays:

141) Mahri Nui has been destroyed. Voya Nui has not been. Voya Nui has returned to its place in the mainland. 152) The cancellation of Invasion really didn't affect this year all that much, since it was going to be side story to start with. The story of how the Inika got to Mahri Nui wasn't critical to 2007. 163) No, because most 8 year olds have no interest in characters who can't do much of anything besides think fast. 174) Yes 185) He is going to remain with Sarda. The rest of the Mahri Nui Matoran are on Voya Nui 196) The other Barraki think the two of them are dead
201) Most of time on BZP is spent working -- either answering questions or responding in forums. I don't kill time here. 212) Yes
22-Xeno
23I could swear that most of the barraki got by with no powers at all, through cunning, technique, and battle tactics. They also had weaker/less powers before mutation.
1Not to mention Hydraxon.

24And entire armies that were under their control....
1There were cases where they did well without their armies...

7Uh-oh. If the mask doesn't go back to being a mask in the swamp, then they have an empty mission.
1Maybe they will have to fight Mr. I to get the mask.

8I'm pretty sure that GregF has said that Tahu's teams mission takes place at the same time as Kopaka's teams mission so this book might just be from the perspective of Tahu's team while Shadows in the sky is from the perspective of Kopaka's team. So if Tahu's team finds the mask and it becomes a toa then goes up to where Kopaka's team is it could still appear in both books keeping the book description true while also making it so Tahu and co's mission had a point.
1More questions:
21) Would you say that a Kanohi Mask of Mutation would be made out of a Reconstitute disk?
32) If there was a frog-like rahi that had a water pouch under its chin, would Hahli or Lesovikk be able to jump out of the water and copy this to breathe?
43) Could you forge a Garai out of a Toa of Gravity's Toa Disk?
54) What happened to the chamber under the Sundial?
65) Could a Golden Kanohi be made out of any 12 Kanohi or do they have to be the certain ones?
71) No, because it wasn't made on Metru Nui so most likely was not made from a disk 82) No. The ability to breathe is not a power, and that is what the Faxon copies. 93) Yes 104) Nothing happened to it. 115) As far as I know, the only golden Kanohi ever in existence were the ones the Toa Mata were destined to create, so it may not be possible to create others
1Not sure if this is the right place, but where can I find a list of 2008 character's powers? And has anyone thought of this? Did Takua have any special power, being an Av-Matoran? And does H still retain those powers as a Toa?
1He could have been speaking hypothetically.
3Try BS01 for the list. 4And I think it's likely that Takua had a special power, and I think it's likely that he still has it now.

12A Kanohi of Reconstrution at Random(ness) would reconstruct them randomly. Example: mutation may turns a being sometimes more like an a visorak victim(having the same basis of being a living thing), Reconstrution at random might do the same thing, or turn the victim into a chair, puddle, crystal, or a random pile of junk.
1I just got a PM from greg saying that those summer 08 names are leaked.
1Can we see it?
1if they're leaked, then they are neither to be mentioned or showed.
1Guys either the names are fake or the have been illegally leaked .
2In both cases it is useless to discuss them and I don't want to see those names here, nor a big discussion about them .
3Edit: Ok so BZP decides to have the names discussed so you can go on discussing them in the proper forum in the proper topic please..

1If the names are illegal, it would seem to be more likely that Greg would alert the administrators and the moderators so that action could be taken to get the names off of BZP. And won't we be seeing those names again at Toy Fair in February and possibly the sets themselves?
1It's interesting that nobody has done anything about the leaked names. Usually BZP is strict about this sort of thing. Oh, and on to the Mask of Mutation thing, he does state "it wasn't made on Metru Nui". That doesn't seem very hypothetical to me. My guess is one of those summer Makuta has it.

2That would be a cool mask. And guys, we should stop talking abou the names. It's spam

2Names are a lot different than pictures. Pretty sure you still have no idea what any of the sets will be like, and we've known for ages that the other Nuva and Takanuva will be back.

3Didn't BZP forbid mention of leaked names back when the winter 08 set list was first released?

5Because back then, we had no idea the Nuva were coming back and it was major spoiler material for the year. Like I said, there's nothing we don't already know in this list.
1Nothing hugely important, but 2 could mean we'll see the Toa Mahri again. 2QUOTE 3Hello, Mr. Farshtey, I have a couple of questions for you. 41. Why did Mahri Nui originally sink ? 52. Have the Toa Mahri fulfilled their destinies ? They saved Mata Nui's life, so were they given the choice to turn into turaga ? 6Thank you.
71) The land Mahri Nui was built on was lava that had cooled during the time Voya Nui was floating on the ocean, so it wasn't as stable as the rest of the island. Eventually, it just broke off. 82) They have fulfilled their destinies, they have not gotten the opportunity to give up their Toa power yet, and my guess is they will choose not to do so. The universe needs five Toa right now more than it needs five more Turaga.

9Hopefully they will be in a serial next year.
10Edit: Wow, almost 300 pages:
1Guess that means the Mahri are staying for a while.
11. is lesovikk's turaga still alive? 22. when tahu, gali, and onua enter the swamp, will they be mutated? 33. will the first matoran created be a set? 44. is the realm of karzahni fixed as-of the SoA's use? 55. if takanuva were to be a set next year, will the avohkii still be in it's 2003 shape? 66. do you watch "family guy"?
7thanks
81) Haven't thought about it since he's not coming into story 92) Only if they are stupid enough to go into the water. 103) No plans for that, no 114) No. The SOA repaired damage done by the Great Cataclysm only -- the damage to Karzahni was done by Gali, not the quake 125) I can't discuss this 136) No
1I liked # 6. lol And I'm relieved to hear that the Nuva probably won't be mutated by the mutagen.

3I must say, a Mask of Mutation does exist, I mean, we all know that GregF doesn't answer hypothetical q's, so it has to exist: I would think that Mutran or Chirox would have it, but would be cheap... I mean Mutran with a Mask of Mutation...? But there are some masks in the Bionicle universe that we don't know about, so it might be on of those.
1Chirox and Mutran have masks of silence.
1Since Greg's on vacation does anyone know when the Phantoka are coming out in stores like Target?
1QUOTE 2Just for clarification, there are multiple villages in Karda Nui, correct? Do the villages interact with each other at all, and if so, to what degree (do they work together or keep to themselves)?
31) Yes 42) Yes 53) They did, at one time, work together quite well, but as the story opens, only one village has survived the BOM attack.
6I'm not sure what this "one village" would be; it could be Tanma's village, if the story includes Tanma's village being wiped out, but most likely it would be the village Solek and Photok are from (since Tanma is described as the only survivor of his village, Photok and Solek would probably be from a different village).
7This isn't very important to this topic, but I asked these questions for a possible short story of mine and I thought I might as well share the answers with the rest of you.
1Some interesting info. 
10Question 2 is interesting...
11~Lih
2Hey Greg.
3I've got just a few questions for you today:
41) You have said that any being could tap into their inner darkness, thus giving them control over Shadow, and making the evil inside them much stronger. The Shadow Leeches and Avsa are just a way of forcefully doing this, correct?
52) What would happen if a being tapped into their inner light? Would they gain control over Light, and make their good side stronger? Or something else?
6Thanks Greg.
7~Lih
81) The SL and Avsa do more than let you tap in -- they drain your light so you have no choice left but to tap in. A Toa of Fire who has his light drained would no longer control fire, only shadow.
92) They might gain access to light powers - unfortunately, it is always a lot easier to tap into one's aggression and anger than it is to tap into the better part of yourself.
10Question 2 is interesting...
11~Lih
1It's just like in Star Wars.
