3Hi Greg
4Could you please answer that Mask of Healing PM soon? People are starting to PM me about it. :-/
5Thanks a lot, 6NtM
7Nuhrii - I am sorry for the delay. As you know, my wife is in her ninth month and I just got diagnosed with diabetes, so I haven't had a lot of time to do deep dives on issues here.

10Maybe we could contact Black Six, and post on the front page to give Greg a week or two off. 11-SK
1SK, I think that would just be Greg's call. He may choose not to answer PMs for a while.
1You didn't know of Bionicle Sector 01? What the heck are you doing on BZP?
2BS01 is the official Bionicle Wiki. Everything there is 100% accurate. The 'mins there are part of the Bionicle team, I think. There's a whole subforum for the site on BZP.
3Obviously I know of BS01 . In fact, I'm a member of BS01. 4I was asking for the type of the NEW weapon of Kongu, since he left her Cordaks in the mission of Zakaz.
1No, I checked his blog and somewhere there was an entry. The winner was Emily Schroeder. Here it is. http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?aut...showentry=87513
1What is this "Who Am I?" thing?
1SK, I think that would just be Greg's call. He may choose not to answer PMs for a while.
2Well he might feel presusured to answer PMs regardless if he wished to anwser them or not.
3It's all his call. I believe in the past when he was under pressure he didn't answer PMs - but if he wants to answer PMs now, he will. If not, he won't. Simple procedure.
1Hello Greg.
21) Who is the "best" friend of Kopaka? 32) Why Mata Nui is currently in the mask instead of being a Toa and be protecting the others? 43) When will know who is the "Who am I?" character? 53.1) He will have a name? 64) Will know some day the destiny of Takanuva or will be a secret for ever? 75) And we'll know some day the aspect of the Great Beings or what they are? 86) What type of weapon has Kongu? A sword, a spear, etc?
91) Probably Pohatu 102) Because he feels that having one leader that everyone follows will lead Spherus Magna down the same path it went down before, when everyone was following the Element Lords. He wants people to build their own society, not look to him for everything. 113) When he/she/it shows up in a serial, which will be when it makes sense for he/she/it to show up in a serial 123.1) Yes 134) Depends on if his destiny becomes important to story 145) Don't know. Last I was told, which was earlier this year, I was not allowed to show the GBs. So unless that changes, I can't do it. 156) Any details on Kongu's equipment would be on biosector01.com
16I don't knew of that D:
17Wait what. 18Does that mean there's a picture of the Great Beings (notice he said "SHOW")
1No, I checked his blog and somewhere there was an entry. The winner was Emily Schroeder. Here it is. http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?aut...showentry=87513
2we must track her down =D
3He did show them, sort of. 4Look at the MNS, chapter 8.
5that was Brian Ellis, not Greg. but the image is still canon - they're just shown as tiny silhouettes. Proves they're humanoid though
6reference picture: http://biosector01.com/wiki/images/e/e0/Ar...onstruction.PNG
1I it just depends dude. Greg usally reads the Pms and then replies later. Your Pms may ahve gotten eaten by the server. It does that sometimes.
11) Takanuva still hasn't completed his destiny, right? 22) Do you know what his destiny is? 33) What uses are there for Toa Power besides healing and creating toa stones? 44) Are the current serials supposed to last through 2011 as well? 55) If not, do you know how many serials we'll get next year? 66) Can you give me an estimate as for when the next serial will be out? 77) Will we hear from Takanuva in the serials? 88) Would Takauva and the Toa Mahri be considered veteran toa now?
91) Correct 102) Yes 113) Haven't seen any uses besides that yet, but obviously if you have no Toa power, you aren't a Toa. 124) No 135) Not at this point, no 146) Well, I expect to finish the chapter today, but Kelly is on vacation, so I don't know when it will be posted. 157) I don't know yet 168) Yes
17Of what serial? 18He just written Sahmad's Tale 5 .? =O
194) =(
1Hello Greg .
2According to the Official Greg Dialogue and the latest Farshtey Feed, you said that the Baterra were planned to be 2010 sets before the decision was made to end the line with the Stars. Do you know what other sets were planned to be released?
3Also, if, by miracle, the Bionicle sets came back (sorry; I'm a pessimist), would they likely be the first sets released?
41) We hadn't made plans past the baterra. 52) No, because they would no longer be the focus of that year's story. We wouldn't go back and resume with 2010 story, because new fans would have no idea what we were talking about.
6EDIT: I just asked him some more questions:
7Hello again Greg.
81. Can/Will Miserix create any more Rahkshi?91a. If not, is he likely to make a horde of existing Rahkshi to do his bidding (whatever that might be)?
102. To clarify, are the Element Lords and the Sisters of the Skrall basically looking for the same thing in the end, even though their aims seem different?112a. What would happen if they were to arrive at the same time and meet?
123. When do you think the Bionicle sets will come back, if at all?
13Good luck with the baby too .
141) Yes 152) No - the ELs were looking for the power source the GBs had created, the Sisters are not. 163) All I can tell you is that no one at TLC is talking about bringing the sets back, at least not to me. So until I hear someone talking about it, I am assuming the line is not coming back.
17I'll admit, reading that last answer almost made me cry, and it's VERY had to make me cry these days because IMO crying is a sign of weakness.
1Oz, the line technically just ended. No one is going to talk about bringing it back right now; we need to give it a couple of years before we can be open to the line returning again. Right now, the only indication for Bionicle's revival will be if the storyline continues after 2011.
1If Karzahni was one of the 'Powers that Be', do you think Tren Krom and TSO and people like Helryx and Arthaka could be the others?
1Hello, Mr. Farshtey.
21) Did everyone in the MU get out after Teridax was killed? (Three...problem areas I thought of were Tren Krom, Voporak (He haz the Vahi), and Varian) 32) Slightly related, did Varian get out of stasis when Pohatu did a Pohatu on the DH fortress? 43) Why doesn't TSO just kill Darkness? Is it because he's more powerful than TSO? If so, couldn't he just call in someone like Voporak? 54) Why did Ahkmou keep quiet about Metru Nui, when he very easily could have told the other Matoran about it? 65) Do the Turaga still have the Krana-Kal? Or did they destroy them? 76) Is there any prefix for Lightning, Magnetism, Jungle (the Green?), or Plasma? 87) Were Av-Matoran turned into the Bohrok, or the Krana?
91) No one knows on Varian yet, Voporak did and Tren Krom did 102) No. All Pohatu did was turn stone to dust. The dust then rained down on the stasis tube. That is not going to break the tube. 113) Because it isn't done. Darkness exists for a reason. Killing him would be like saying, "I am too weak to have someone around watching me for weakness." It would destroy his credibility with the DH. 124) Because of what the Turaga would do to him if he opened his mouth. 135) I can't see why they would have destroyed them, since we have never seen them destroy krana up to now. 146) Not at this time, no 157) Bohrok. Krana are a separate species, created by the Bahrag.
16Well, it seems that TK and Vopie are plausible for TPTB.
1Maybe that's a good thing. GregF now has artistic license to do whatever the Pit he wants, without TLC always telling him what he can't do. Greg would have to create new characters every period of time, unless TLC decided to re-release old sets. Now we just have to see whether he's better off on his own or not.

3Actually, he can kill off characters without permission. Before, he needed to ask.
1only main-story characters. (everyone who was a set in that year)
2am i the only one thinking: "Greg Farshtey, License to kill"?
3i think the storyline will only benefit from his increased freedom. Botar was killed, to show that it was war, and not everyone dies heroically. it was kinda to make a point. "if a makuta wants to kill you, you stand little chance" to contrast the whole Karda Nui thing, so to speak.
4so i think things get better. increases the realism.

1They just want to have Bionicle as a back up to HF if it was a fail. And it'not.
2Actually, that's not it. If Hero Factory fails, there is no chance of Bionicle coming back. Or any buildable figures. Not that I really care, because they don't really have reason for bringing back Bionicle anyway. If HF is a win, it'll just stay. If it fails, there will be no buildable figures (HF, Bionicle, Knight's Kingdom, Slizers) ever again.

3I not the one who actually say this. I remember clearly that GregF himself said it is. They just want Bionicle not to be forgotten so one day the'll have the possibility to bring it back. 4-R, Serials Leader in B. Untold-
1Hello Mr.Farshtey, 21. If a Makuta were turned into a Hordika would he/she be able to conduct any of his/her 42 Rahkshi powers threw a Rhotuka? 32. Is the Element Lord of Sand a Vorox? If so is he in a primitive state like the other Vorox? 43. Could you confirm that Jovan had a badge of office? 54. In BIONICLE 4: Legacy of Evil the mask of shadows is capable of hurling shadow bolts, does that mean it is alive like the Ignika or was it just a self defence mechanism? 64b. If so can all Makuta masks do that? 75. Who is older Perditus or Gelu? 86. Do you know the E-Mail adress of Binkmeister or the Kelly Mckiernan's email adress? Because I have a problem with my lego id. 9Thanks,
101) Shadow, probably 112) Yes, he would have been a Vorox originally 123) Don't know, really never thought about it 134) Self-defense mechanism, like a car alarm 145) Perditus 156) If you are having an issue with LEGO ID, your best bet is contact LEGO Customer Service -- you can find contact info at the bottom of the LEGO.com screen, just click on Customer Service.

5Right, but they won't bring it back if Hero Factory sells dismally and is a total flop. They're most likely to bring BIONICLE back if Hero Factory sells well, but not as well as BIONICLE, and the trend stays like that for a while.

5Actually he can, that's exactly what he did in one of the last chapters of Dark Mirror, it would just be unwise to throw away so many characters.
1I just want to know how Tren Krom escaped the MU. Wasn't he fused to the island? And if he was freed, who had the power to undo something the GBs did?

6Those weren't the main universe characters, though. In real life, alternate universes in fiction pretty much exist so the authors can go on a killing spree.
