1Also, why LEGO stopped at Inika? I mean sets. Why we didn't get any new builds after 2006?

2We didn't. We had new sets in 2007, 2008, and 2009, including the Mahri, the Brotherhood of the Makuta, and the Glatorian.

3No, I was talking about new types of build, mechanisms like in Toa Mata or Toa Metru. You stopped at Inika build.

4Ah, okay, if you are talking set design, that I cannot answer. I am not a set designer.

121) No, right now I don't know if there is anything past Book 10 or not, I haven't been told.

132) Not sure I understand your question. I never see any of the art until the book comes out.

143) You would need to ask Papercutz that. I cannot speak for them.

154) Read the book and find out

165) Don't understand your question

176) What is that a reference to?

187) Because if I give the plot away here, months before the book comes out, then why should anyone want to buy the book? They will already know the story.

198) He passed into an alternate dimension

209) Not sure I get your question

2110) What diamond ninja?

2211) Wu was briefly partnered with Kai's father, I believe, but he largely fought alone

11. What do you think abou series: Slizer and RoboRiders?

22. How did Slizer's story end?

3That was before my time at LEGO, Akuumo, so I know nothing about it. I didn't start at TLC until the end of 2000.

1Greg I have a question for you. If you ever got to create a theme for LEGO what would the story be? 

2No idea.

1I have question, in ninjago, is "boarding school for bad boys" run by bad guys? Or is it to teach the boys to be good?

2I believe the school Lloyd was at was not a school to make you good.

1Hi Mr. Farshtey, I've got a couple questions today, but I'll try to keep it brief .

 

21. Earlier in this topic you stated that you pitched some ideas for the replacement of Bionicle that weren't picked up. I'd be very interested in hearing what they were, if possible.

 

32. It's closing in on four years since Bionicle ended and there still appears to be quite a vocal and passionate community dedicated to Bionicle, going as far as making petitions and otherwise doing what they can to get it back. I was curious as to how much the LEGO company has noticed this, and if it has made any sort of a noticeable difference to you. I apologize if this is a difficult question to answer, and understand if it's one your bosses would rather you not answer. I'm not asking if it's coming back, I'm just curious as to how much impact fan support has had on the subject since the theme's end. 

 

4Thanks for answering our questions, and writing such enjoyable comics and books,

5Jts21

61) Sorry, that was four years ago, I really don't remember them.

72) I wish I could give you an answer, but I don't have one. The people who would be making a decision to bring it back are at our HQ in Denmark, and I have no idea what they have noticed and what they haven't. The decision to bring it back or not won't be one I am involved in, I would only find out after the fact.

1Hey, Mr. Farshtey; I'd like to preface my question by saying that I'm very glad you've returned to the community in this form. Your absence on BZPower has definitely been felt over the course of the last year, but it's very kind of you to still seek to enrich the community in some way, even if it's not through BZP. Plus, it can't hurt to have some new perspectives; BZP could be very... interesting at times.

 

2I have two questions, and I apologize if they have already been asked before.

 

31. While I understand many of the story details that people are curious about as far as BIONICLE is concerned simply don't exist, since you never planned that far ahead. However, there is one thing which you may know; Takanuva's destiny. Could you enlighten us as to the plan for that particular piece of story?

 

42. Conceptually, which theme do you prefer - Legends of Chima or Ninjago?

 

5Thanks for your time,

6Mesonak

71) There were none. The plan for the new movies did not include him, so anything more with him would have been something I came up with as needed.

82) I think they both have their strengths. Ninjago is an easier "sell" because kids know what ninja are, where with Chima (like with BIONICLE) they need to learn about the world and the story for it to really make sense to them.

1Just another weird question that poped into my head:  What do the animals in Chima eat?  'Cause some of them are carnivorous animals and I don't think that they eat other animal there.

2Good question. I will ask the Chima folk and see what they say.

1hey gregg you think we will ever see bionicle again

2No idea. Hope so, but no idea what factors would go into that decision.
