1I really can't discuss 2010, C. It's too early and I'm not allowed. As in any year, any announcements regarding set assortment, etc. will come at ToyFair. I can tell you that the size difference is because smaller sets sell better than larger ones do, but the size difference will not be canon in story.
2Does this mean there are no plans for canister sets, or at least normal sized sets for next year? Or is the intentionally small size of the Stars sets simply supposed to catch your eyes and wallets?
3Again, I really can't discuss the 2010 set line-up, I'm not allowed.
40.0 5--
6here's hpoing for caniser setsAny wayI hpoe we find out soon>
7Same here my friend, same here. 8-G.L.
1could people stop quoting quotes of quotes of quotes? it's unnecessary, takes up space, and confuses people, as they would think it contains something new
3I just saw X Men Origins: Wolverine, It was EPIC.1Hey Greg, are you a big Marvel fan?
2Of some titles, yes
4Just one BIONICLE question: Do you plan on using Malum and Hydraxon in the future? I like them.
5I'd say it is pretty wide open next year as far as who could show up. Pretty much anyone who isn't dead might make an appearance.
6I guess some people are going to be squished by Teridax.
93) Sorry, no, I meant it's alien to the planet Spherus Magna1hi greg, hope you are feeling well today.51) Yes 62) No 73) Planet
21.were the rock agori with the skrall already when they came south from the mountains?
32.is the great being who touched the ignika angonce? 43.BSO1 says this about Skrall Tribal Design Blades :"The Agori Atakus wields dual, glowing Skrall Tribal Design Blades, created with technology alien to Bara Magna. " is this technology alien to the region, the planet or spherus magna?
83. so that kind of technology would have been normal on spherus magna?
13) Sorry, no, I meant it's alien to the planet Spherus Magna
2Alien to Spherus Magna? Then where did it come from and why does a Rock Agori, of all beings, have it? Who created it? Is there any more of it or is is unique?
3Very interesting information, that, though I doubt it will come into play in the story any time soon. Does create some interesting questions, however.

2Hey Greg. Hope you're well.
31). If Vakama can see the future through his visions, would he have seen Teridax's Takeover?
42). When Mata Nui crashed on Aqua Magna, was he on his way back to Spherus Magna to complete his original mission? [And by "original Mission" I meant give the GBs the information of the planets he visited.]
53). Will Cryoshell be making next year's song or is it going to be someone else?
64). Does Mata Nui/Teridax actually have the power to "pull" Aqua, Bota, and Bara Magna together?
7Alright, thanks for your time.
8
91) The problem is, he has no control over the visions or what they show. So it's doubtful he got one regarding that. 102) Yes and no -- he was on his way back to SM to complete his mission, but his mission did not involve reporting info to the GBs. 113) I don't know of any plans for a song next year. 124) Follow the story and find out
13
Kiril 1Well, his mission was to prevent similar events from happening on other planets.

5That definitely will go into the column for "supports the theory that Bionicle will end next year".
1... ok 2 thing i woudl like to understand from these Pm's
2Greg has stated almost anyone could show up, landing under the evidence of the end 3There is no song for next year
4I guess bye bye babylon ment Bye Bye Bionicle
5-Star*
6He said he doesn't know of any plans. He's just the writer, there's no reason for him to know of any plans unless someone mentions it to him.
1*sigh* You're jumping to conclusions again.
2Think about it: in previous years, anyone who was still alive could show up, too. The only reason not many characters could appear in 2009 was that we were focusing on another planet. But even then, we saw a ton of old characters through Reign of Shadows.
3As for the song, would Greg really know if there was a song planned? It's not really his job.
4Final conclusions: BIONICLE will not end for story reasons. It will only ever end if it becomes unprofitable. The story is secondary to the sets; if the sets are selling, they will make story to support them.

1First up, great comic both on your part and on Pop's.
21) Was Berix killed from the thornax or is he just injured? The image makes him look injured, but the word "thornaxed" sounds pretty final.
32) You said that Mata Nui's journey to the Valley would be told next year, but I am curious as to where it will be told since you've made it clear you aren't planning for serials next year?
43) How widespread is the knowledge that the Mega-city is a super robot? Do the Glatorian know, do the Agori know, do the Skrall know?
5Thank you, and congradulate Mhan on his continued exempliary work for me and the rest of the Bionicle fan base .
61) No, he's not dead. He is too important a character in 2009 to kill him off-handedly like that. 72) We are doing serials next year, A. We just haven't decided what they are yet. But the current plan is for the story of what he finds up north to be told in a Papercutz graphic novel. 83) Very few people know. And some of those who do, like Raanu, are in denial about it.
9So that's what the graphic novel is about. Good to know that it seems we will have the serials next year (he has been saying other wise to me until this), maybe that means the book will be released outside of Poland . I think #3 is new too, but I haven't read the last 2 pages

10Greg just revealed that Raanu knows about the prototype robot .
Am I slow, or is that new info?

5I agree wholeheartedly with TNTOS
1Interesting. Personally, I think it is of little to no importance though. Probably just made out of the material of a meteorite that hit the planet.
1New 2010 stuff here.
14- Mr. Happy
2Hey Greg. Got some questions for you.
31. Tahu, Takanuva, Gresh, the Skrall, Nekktan, and Rahkshi all play major roles in 2010, correct?
42. Takanuva's armor color being white and silver isn't canon, correct? If it is, then why is it the color?
53. Is Tarduk alive in 2010?
64. What are the Mahri doing?
75. Is what happens to Lewa going to be wrapped up in the next RoS?
8Thank you for answering these .
91) They are sets and are in storyline, yes 102) Because the set designer chose to use those colors, probably because they are the most recent used for the character 113) Yes 124) Working for the resistance 135) We'll see. ROS is not ending this year, so I don't need to necessarily wrap that up right away
14- Mr. Happy
1Darn, I can't see the spoilers... can someone kindly PM me ? It would be very appreciated.

5That definitely will go into the column for "supports the theory that Bionicle will end next year".
6Didn't mean that, although you might not be completely wrong.
1Hey GregF, just one question. 2In the past, you have stated that the Mask of Life cannot heal; it's not a Mask of Healing. However, theoretically, it can transform a wounded arm into a fixed arm. Can this be done? 3Thanks.
4I don't know how theoretically it does that. We know that it can evolve or devolve, but a wound is not a natural evolution of a limb, it's something alien to it.
5Hmm, maybe it just works on the whole body instead of one part of the body, by Dekar did change into Hydraxon and that doesn't sound like an evolution.
1Hi greg who activates the golden armour suit?
1Just got these from Greg:
2QUOTE 3Hi Greg .
4Just two questions for today:
51. Are/were the Great Beings native to Spherus Magna? As in their species, not any individual.
62. Is Tahu the ONLY Toa Nuva to escape Teridax?
7Thanks in Advance .
81) Far as I know yes 92) No, he's just the only one we are doing a set of
10Might send a follow up on the first, not sure yet.

1^Awesome . I knew it couldn't be just Tahu escaping .
25That's weird. Why wouldn't they have their adaptive armor?
111) Because they were prototypes of the other Matoran. 122) Older than Mata Nui 133) Not sure offhand 144) I wouldn't say so, no. He could certainly do damage, but Teridax could snuff him out whenever he wanted to. 155) Good question. I am going to say no, for no particular reason. 166) Yes
17Just a follow up and a new question: 182) Is Tren Krom older than the Great Beings? 197) In the same way that Mata Nui was not aware of the Brotherhood's plan, could a distraction be provided and then a similar plan formed against Teridax? 20Thanks, 21Kiina77
221) No, he was created by the GBs 237) The problem is, Teridax knows how he took Mata Nui down, and that he was able to do it because MN was not paying attention. So he won't make that same mistake.
24Number seven is the only interesting thing, and most of us probably already guessed that.
25That's weird. Why wouldn't they have their adaptive armor?
11. What head does the Piraka Star have?
22. Does the papercutz #10 the one that depicts mata nui's journey to the valley of the maze?
33.There have been rumors that bionicle ends next year, but i understand that just because the storyline ends doesn't mean that you can't start another storyline, correct?
41) No idea, I don't have the set.
52) Actually it depicts what happens after he gets there, basically what happens between November comic and Jan. comic
63) I can't discuss 2010

7re 1: I think the face/spine is unique and the head is a lime avtoran head
