1Have any of the main characters (a.k.a. the Toa, Matoran and Makuta) seen [any part of] Mata Nui? 2Also... 3The map of the universe in the Polish guidebook, are there any plans to release it anywhere else? 4Speaking of which, do you know when the book is to be released? 5--EjE
61) I cannot discuss this 72) No. It's owned by the publisher, so it is up to them to decide if it can be used elsewhere. 83) October, I believe
9I was hoping to possibly disprove the MN=MU theory with #1, but... oh well. 10--EjE
1Hi Greg, a quick Q about Matoran height.
21) Since the Metru-Matoran &Mahri-Matoran are about the same height has sets, are they about the same in the story-line? 31a) Are they the average height of a Matoran? 41b) Are the Metru &Mahri Matoran about a Bio high?
5Thanks .
61) Yes 71a) Yes 81b) Don't know, you would need to figure out the size by comparing them to a Toa, which is 7.2 feet in height on average
1Hey Greg.
21. So, is it official that "Vahki" means "law" in Matoran? 32. Why are Axonn and Brutaka fighting the Skakdi alone when Ehlek's species are right offshore? Do they not have enough breathing apparatuses?
4Thank you for your time.
5
61) Sure, why not? 72) Because Brutaka and Axonn are not there to wipe out the Skakdi. They are there to make an alliance with them on behalf of the OOMN.
81. Now we know what Vahki means. "Look out, the "law" are after you ."
92. Okay... 10Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho . 11

16Maybe those are just names for specialized Vahki. Like how each Vahki has a different name.
1But they are often called "Vahki enforcers" - "law enforcers" - so it does make sense.
2OFF TOPIC: We know have 00:12/12:12 PM and I just got home from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars pre-premiere - watch it, it is different, but nonetheless cool.

2Here's what I was thinking. Lego doesn't plan on making any Toa Hagah sets, and we're stuck with only two. So, how do we fix that? Hold a Toa Hagah contest . I don't know how contests are done, but we could do an MOC contest, like the Xian Weapons contest. That way you don't get bugged about it any more, we get pics, and everyones happy.
3What do you think? Thank you for your time.
4
5Certainly a possibility
6So...we could be seeing a Toa Hagah contest in the near future. Sweet.
7Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho . 8
9I actually really hope Greg doesn't go through on the idea. I know that technically their Kanohi can be in any old shape, but I just can't stand the thought of seeing four (potentially) new mask powers represented by the same boring old shapes that we already have molds for.
10agreed and to be honest that would take the fun away for everyone by making a officail moc destroying so many losing peoples work
1Hello Greg, I have a quick question.
2What color would the Lightning a Toa produced be? Because we've seen Lightning both Blue and White.
3White
4BTW, it's only Wednesday. So sad.
5Yeah I read it wrong too . And what color would the toa be? Blue and white, right? It would make sense since Hahli had some white when she was an Inika .
1Will Suterranean's situation with the Frostelus be resolved in DW? The reason I ask is he could recruit them for the DH and then work with the Order.
2I don't see the Frostelus joining the DH or allying with the Order. They have no real reason to dislike the Brotherhood, but a long history of clashing with Toa.
3Oh well, no Frostelus.
For those of you who thought it was a good idea, check out the events planned for the Kanohijournal on BS01. That ought to be compromise enough. 1QUOTE 2QUOTE 3QUOTE 4QUOTE 5QUOTE 6Hey Greg, How are you Doing? 7I have a few questions regarding Nektann,
81) What Color is Nektann? Is he Green?
92) Will he be a combiner model or in a contest?
103) if he was to be a set, would he be large, medium or matoran-size (small)
114) Does he have a piraka skull?
125) Will there Even be a contest later this year?
136) How important is Nektann to the storyline?
147) Would making A combiner model of all 6 piraka to make Nektann be a good idea?
158) Will There Be a combiner for Rockoh T3, Jetrax T6, and Axalara T9?, if so i'll buy it.
16thanks greg.
171) No idea at this point 182) No 193) Probably a $30 set size, if he were going to be a set. 204) Yes, he's a Skakdi 215) No, we are done with BIONICLE contests for 2008 226) Follow the story and decide for yourself 237) Up to you how you want to spend your time 248) Not to my knowledge, no. Given how expensive those sets are, a combiner of all three would be extremely expensive.
251) oh, it will be pretty hard for me to MOC, but I'll try. 262) That's good 273) I'll use 3-6 piraka. 284) good. 295) In 2009? 306) that sounds good. 317) ok. 328) I'll try.
335) I'm sure we'll have at least one in 2009
345) thanks Greg, i really wanted to join one, is it for the brickmaster or the Lego magazine?

1Hi Greg 2I was just wondering if we'll get a bigger role out of the sun dial, or is it just a compass to lead Takanuva to the Codrex? It was one of my all time favorite mysteries, and I would have liked a bit more. But if not, that's ok. I was just curious. 3Thanks for your time.
4No, that's about it. I was never that into it myself, but wanted to do something with it so it wouldn't just be a plot thread hanging out there.
1Nektann is as big as, say, Maxilos? Can't he just be Piraka-sized?
1He's a warlord. You don't become a warlord by being the same size as others around you. He's probably Axonn size.
1some stuff from greg
21a. Would the Plan fail if the Nuva were killed? 31b. Who would wake Mata Nui then? 41c. Would Teridax still need the Plan then?
52. Since the Makuta started out as biomechanical beings.....is it possible that Toa and Matoran could evolve into energy beings too?
63. Can a being's Destiny change? 73b. Was it Teridax's Destiny to overthrow Mata Nui? 83c. If no, Did Teridax change his Destiny then?
94a. Who "creates" Destinies for beings: Mata Nui or the Great Beings? 104b. If it is Mata Nui, does he still create Destinies as he sleeps?
111) If the Nuva were killed, Mata Nui could not be awakened and the plan would have to be altered 122) No, different species 133) No 143b) Since that's what he did, yes 154a) Depends on who created them. 164b) Not a lot of new beings have come into existence in the last 1000 years, but those that have, yes, are pre-destined
17not expecting that for 3
18i think #1 is worth bolding too. now we know that mata nui must be awakened. it almost makes the reign of terror concept almost... true

271) Yes 281a) No. A Toa is a particular kind of hero -- someone with both elemental and mask powers, who is (in most cases) an evolved Matoran and can one day become a Turaga. It's sort of like how you have police in your town, but if your neighbor (who isn't a policeman) stops a robber, that doesn't make him a policeman. 292) Because tampering with someone like that is just wrong 302a) He wasn't a Toa, if that's what you're asking 313) No, that was his Dark Hunter code name 324) No. See answer to 1a. 335-10) All of the information that exists on Phantom can be found on www.biosector01.com. I have not expanded on it, because he has not played a significant role in story.
341) Follow the story and find out 352) You are talking two Toa out of thousands of Air Toa in the history of the universe. Not much of a sample 362a) I see no reason to believe he was. 373) I cannot discuss 2009 384) I am working on 2009 story bible and 2010 story summary right now 395) We are not in the Matoran universe after 2008, so I doubt it

1He's a warlord. You don't become a warlord by being the same size as others around you. He's probably Axonn size.
2According to who? Look at the Barraki -- they're no bigger than Toa, and yet most of the Pit escapees fleed the area because of them. You don't have to be huge to be a good warlord; Krekka and Nocturn are prime examples of that. All you need is brains, really. Seeing as Nektann is simply a Skakdi, I can't imagine why he'd be all that different from the Piraka in appearance.

7I suggest you reread the post you quoted, he said Krekka and Nocturn are examples you don't need to be huge. But, I have to agree. I think Warlords could come in all sizes. For one, he could have worked on strategy or intelligence his entire life, and not have much muscle; inversely, he could have used his power, wealth, influence etc. to get pieces to rebuild himself, say he was smart enough to discover the art of rebuilding. Even so, he could just ahve bulky armor, be irregularly tall, or be in an Exo-suit like Exo-Toa armor(Although obviously not Exo-Toa Armor).
8Also, I asked this question months ago, but since we're on the topic of skakdi, I decided I might as well post it:
91)Where are the skakdi technologicaly, primitive, or human scale?
101) Closer to primitive than human scale.

7I meant that Krekka and Nocturn were the farthest things from warlords, and they're two of the strongest characters we've known. My point was that just because you're big doesn't make you a good warlord, and good warlords aren't always huge (Napoleon was tiny, yet a brilliant strategist). Neither Krekka nor Nocturn could be warlords, because, to be it bluntly, their stupid.
1Hi, 2Here are just some things I've been wondering about the Toa Hagah for some time:
12LtoF
3Hi GregF,
4I hope you have some spare time to answer my questions.
51) I read on BS01 that the Toa Hagah came from different teams (before they became the Toa Hagah, of course) and that they got their masks from their past teams, in the shape of a past hero's mask. And first it said that the past hero that Norik's Pehkui was resembling wasn't Turaga Dume, but then I remember I read something in the OGD that you said it was still possible for this mask to resemble Dume's Kiril. 6Is this true?
71a) If so, could this mean that Norik first was part of Dume's Team, and that they made the mask for him so he would not forget them (or something like that)?
8Thanks for your time,
9LtoF
101) I really don't remember. The Hagah storyline was three years ago, and I am wrapped up in 2010 right now. 111a) Doutbful.
12LtoF
