4What were the questions? Maybe he felt they would be inapprobriate to answer?
1Am I the only one who found this kind of odd...
4Coming back? As in, Matoro had been to the mask before?
5...
6Toa Piraka
24a. How did Ignika know that midak skyblasters exsist? 34a) Ignika knows lots of things. Remember, it knew Matoro was coming back when Matoro was still a Matoran and had just left Metru Nui

7Maybe he meant after leaving Metru Nui with the Toa Metru and reaching Mata Nui, he was coming back to Metru Nui.
8EDIT: V.K's right, though. It meant way back when he was a Matoran. 9But a comma between 'coming' and 'back' would have made the meaning clear
1Also note that he didn't say he or she, just he, so Gali's out.
1Hello Mr. Farshty, I hope you are doing well. I have a couple more questions for you.
21) Are there any lasting effects from the virus that the Makuta used to attack Mata-Nui? 31a) Since Makuta viruses are created for the purpose of mutating Rahi to create more Rahi, is it possible that Mata-Nui was also mutated by the virus?
42) Interesting new chapters for FoF and DM, I would have prefered to see Lariska in DM but she should be great wherever she appears. My question is, why did Brutaka tell his team to treat her as they would him? I would think that giving so much power to a Dark Hunter would be unwise. I understand that she was hired to do a job and Dark Hunters are good at following TSO's orders but once she finds out that they are going for the old leader of the BoM she might want to reley something to TSO that might make him wonder if there are any other secret powers in the world and that might lead to him finding out about the OoMN
53) If the Shadow Leech didn't effect Takanuva's mask then why is it in a different shape then before?
64) Why does Taka need a Midak blaster if he can just shoot blasts of his own light?
75) Vultraz's description says that his Midak blaster shoots blasts of shadow, but I thought that Midaks can only shoot blasts of light? Care to explain?
86) Has the Ignika's mentality evolved at all or was it always like this just...less expirienced?
9Thank you very much once again .
101) I would say no 111a) No 122) Basically, because Lariska is the only one hired who isn't considered expendable, and because TSO and the DH have been in on the formulation of this mission to begin with. The DH want Miserix freed as much as the OOMN does, even though they don't know about the OOMN, because it will throw a monkey wrench into the BOM's plans 133) Cause the set designers made it that way 144) But he can't shoot light out of that hand anymore, only his left hand 155) Why do you assume Makuta are not smart enough to refit weapons for their servants as they need to? 166) The Ignika has always been very powerful and fairly naive
171) Well there goes my theory. 182) So wait...they know that Lariska is going after the old BoM leader. But then wouldn't TSO be curious about who could be knowledgeable enough to know so much about that...I would think he would want to find out who Brutaka is and who he works for? 193) So then I guess that there's nothing different about it other then that. 204) Uuuuhhhh....yeah....so it's just for....dexterity? 215) That's what I figured, I just wanted to know if there was some other, secret reason. 226) I really like the concept of the Toa Ignika. I don't have Legends 9 yet but I hope that he's as cool as I expect him to be.
1Man, who is going to get them painful memorys? But i've been thinking... Lewa already got infected and controlled TWICE, so he already had something bad enough to him. Fire characters already have enough spotlight, not to mention Tahu getting poisoned and having a bad time with his bad temper. Gali can't be, since Greg said "he" I'd say Kopka or Onua, though, Pohatu could be it to. Or all three of them... But i doubt it's Tahu, Lewa or Gali.
1Hi Mr.Farshtey just some questions
21)is momns plan just controling kn or is there a string of events that all happen at the same time?
32)dose momns plan involve the possiblity of there being a organization sush as the order of matanui?

161) There's much more to it than just KN. KN is a means to an end. 172) No 183) No 194) Yes, you will 205) Yes, all of them will 216) In between books 227) Stays as the swamp 238) There is only one Takanuva easy reader, because the other readers are in 2009 and he won't be in story in 2009. We aren't in this universe next year. 248b) Future easy readers will have to focus on current sets, not past ones. Books about sets that are no longer available don't really help LEGO out much.

1[/QUOTE] 2So did I. I would've expected Gali, but since it's he, it can't be. Since that Nuva will wish that he didn't, something bad must've happend. Hmm. Any guesses. Maybe Onua, since Earth characters are focused on the past. Maybe Tahu, since the story team likes to give Fire characters special "stuff" (Vakama's vision, Tahu wearing the mask of time, etc.). Still, I would be surprised if it's Lewa. 3[/QUOTE]
4Bet it's tahu, for reasons stated above, plus he so hot tempered I bet he did something aweful
5Tahu has screwed everything. thats just true, i think. then, he dont want to be a toa anymore or something...
6The Ignika's sword is called the "Lifeblade."

1i questioned some stupid but interisint questions to greg, here are :
16now, what greg answer me :
28some aswers not convenced me, but... not bad, i think the mistika makuta cannot shapefist because they are mutated, or something has stolen his power
21-mazeka is a green matoran right ?, i questioning this because i got premonitions about he is a le-matoran 32-how can photok run at the light velocity ? 43-how big is the bionicle planet ? 54-how photok can run without losing a particle of his matter, and becoming just Light ? 65- if he run to that velocity how can fire light blasts if in the velocity of light you ARE THE LIGHT AND NOTHING CAN FIRE LIGHT ? 76-vultraz has worked before with the OoMN ? 87- who is the makuta who put mata.nui in that sleep, why he/she not killed mata nui after win the battle ?, or was a war ? 98- the tridax pods has named to tribute to teridax ?, if was tributed to him, why ? 109-teridax is not death right ? 1110-why the mistika makuta cant shapefist ? 1211- in wath part of the swamp of shadow is krakua 13thanks. 14nicolas marzano
15PS : you are my third favoutite writer after issac asimov and osterheld, YOU ROCK GREG excl.gif . . . . . . . .
16now, what greg answer me :
17) Don't know, have not seen a pic of him lately 182) Where does it say he can? We never used the word running anywhere. If he runs at high speed in Karda Nui, he will go off the edge of a stalactite and fall to his death. 193) Can't answer it 204) See answer to #2 215) You are applying Earth science to BIONICLE -- Earth science does not apply here, because we are not on Earth. 226) Vultraz has never worked with the OOMN. 237) Because if Mata Nui dies, the universe dies ... and if the universe dies, the Makuta who put him to sleep dies too. 248) No. His name is not Tridax. If they wanted to name them after him they would have named them Teridax, wouldn't they? 259) Teridax is the Makuta of Metru Nui, who has been in the story since 2001 2610) Too early to discuss them. They are summer sets. 2711) Krakua is not in the swamp. Krakua is in Metru Nui. Are you asking about Krika?

1I pm'd gregf yesterday for the first time . . . . . 2well, here they are:
31)is nocturn the last of his species? 41)I doubt it. We said said he destroyed the island, we never said he killed all the inhabitants. He's amphibious, so they may well be too.
52)is it likely we will see any of these 'powers' become official matoran elements? 6-radiation 7-terra(sand) 8-acid 9-poison 10-crystal/diamond 112)At this point , I doubt it, since they won't be used this year and next year is going to be outside the domed universe.
123)is there any connection between the map that the blade burrowers are making and the red star? 133)no.
14well, there goes my theory.......
15-makuta of xhini nui-

1Will Krakua and the First Toa be in the final battle this year, or are they just minor characters that help lead the main Toa?
1QUOTE 2I Have a few Questions you may/or may not answer if you have a moment or two,
31) What will miserix be released by? 42) When will we have another combiner model? 53) What is a Avhokah? 64) When will we get to read the next Fedaration of Fear chapter? 75) Where is Teridax now? 81B(6)) Will Miserix be released? 96) What is The Plan the makuta discuss? 107) will 2009 feature new toa, and new enemies ( not storyline information, just Yes or No because I do not want to no about 2009 this early) 118) Does Tahu Mistika cost more or the same as the other mistika due to the amount of peices?
12Thank you for your time,
13Ryan M.
141) I'll be doing a blog entry on that subject today 152) May US BrickMaster 163) That gets revealed later in the year, in Book 10 174) Um, when it's written? 185) I can't reveal that 196) Not as a set you can buy, no 206) Teridax's plan to seize power in the universe 217) I can't discuss 2009 228) The same
1Please answer (for anyone): has it been confirmed that none of the promo sets will be in the storyline AT ALL?
1These are questions I asked Greg, and yes some are quite stupid but I still needed to know . .
28Some of these may seem stupid but it helped me understand bionicle a little more and that is all I wanted to accomplish. comment away . .
2QUOTE 3Dear Mr. Greg,
4Before I ask these questions I would like to say how huge a fan I am of yours.Now to the questions.
51.) If you were to wear a kanohi upside-down would it do anything? 61b.)If yes what would it do?
72.)After Onua and Pohatu destroyed the heart of the visorak did all the visorak die. 82b.) If no what happened to them?
93.)Why does Lewa Phantoka need jet packs if he has the mask of levitation?
104.)Could Gali swim in the swamp, without side-effects?
115.)Why does Tahu need a shield if he has the mask of shielding?
126.)What is the piece on Gali's back in the Toyfair picture?
137.)Could Lesovikk copy takadox's hypnosis thing with his Faxon?
148.)Does the mask of life have a mind? 158b.)If no how did Kongu know it wanted Matoro for a guardian?
169.)When the Toa olda changed to nuva,were the only things they got armor and new masks? 179b.)If yes what else did they get?
18If you have already answered these questions then I apologize for making you repeat yourself.
191) I don't know that it would make any difference 202) They didn't destroy it, they gave it to the OOMN 213) Levitation only makes you go up and down, it doesn't make you actually fly. 224) No 235) Tahu is not listed as having a shield, he's listed as having a rotating blade weapon 246) I haven't bothered to look at the picture 257) I would say no, because Takadox is not a Rahi. 268) It has a consciousness, yes 279) Their weapons changed as well, as I recall.
28Some of these may seem stupid but it helped me understand bionicle a little more and that is all I wanted to accomplish. comment away . .
1On the topic of the Nuva in question's returning memories, lets see...
2Tahu: Fire - over-used a bit now, lets hope not. 3Gali: Greg said he. Rules her out. 4Kopaka: Would seem kinda cool, although ice has been in the spotlight for a while. Wouldn't mind it being him. 5Pohatu: Would like it to be him. I see stone and earth overlooked a bit. 6Onua: See above. 7Lewa: Air has been forgotten a little bit I feel. *Crosses fingers*

1Well, would you expect a good guy to have a shadow blaster?
1BL9 SPOILERS
12Very interesting....
2Just came back from Barnes&Noble, and was able to read most of BL9. I must say, very good. I loved the Mutran and Chriox moments.
31. What state is Icarax in right now? Biomechanical, armor/Antidermis, or a mix of both? It was kinda unlcear at the end, but I must say, having a biomechanical Makuta would simply be awesome. 42. I didn't have enough time to read over Ignika's encounter with the Nuva. Can you summarize for me what happened? All I read was Ignika vs Icarax and the Ignika obtaining its body. 53. Is the Matoran/Rahi Vican rides the Rahi exclusive in the Brickmaster? 64. Is Teridax in Artahka, Daxia, or neither?
7Thanks.
81) Biomechanical 92) I don't really want to reward you for not buying the book We need book sales or the series will get axed. 103) No 114) Neither. Teridax doesn't know where Artakha or Daxia are.
12Very interesting....
1How long does it take for Greg to respond to PMs?

3Well, would you expect a good guy to have a shadow blaster?
4But a bad guy doesn't necessarily work with the BoM.
5The quote said "to outfit their servents", and it was referring to Vultraz, so yes, he is a servent of the BOM.
6Uh, yes, I was pointing that out, Vaka said that, I replied.
7Ah... right, I knew that.
1You might not be able to answer it because it's not your job, but why cannot there be LEGO Transformers?
2Pretty simple really. Transformers is a competing toy line owned by Hasbro, one of our biggest competitors. Doing LEGO Transformers would be like us doing an ad for our competition, and Hasbro letting us do it would mean Transformers fans would be spending some of their money on LEGO products instead of on Hasbro ones. So I don't see it happening.
3Finally some light is shed on that ordeal. It's not really related to BIONICLE, but LEGO in general.
4Lego transformers *shudders*? . Greg makes sense
1What does Spiriah has against the Skakdi?2Spiriah experimented on the Skakdi to try to make them perfect warriors. But the Skakdi were so savage and so treacherous by nature that they ended up being useless, because you can't trust them in a fight ... and because the whole thing wound up being a failure in the eyes of the Brotherhood, they sentenced Spiriah to death for his blunder.
