2Well, this is partly a sympathy message.3Sorry Greg Farshtey, that these people are bugging you about something that, true or not, you are not allowed to reveal any info about. It really is a rude move on their part. Buuuut, people will be people.
4Anyways, I am actually going to go ask a question, and since the "topic" of this thread is to ask questions to Greg (not saying what types of questions exactly), I'm going to ask this one:
5How are you Greg?
6(I have no real questions about old BIONICLE stuff, and I don't follow the stories of the new sets, so that is the most fantastic question ever (and Doesn't ask him something that he cannot talk about, true or not).)
7I am okay, thank you.
8I am going to take this opportunity to state that going forward, I am simply going to ignore questions about 2015. You guys know by now that the even for lines everybody knows for sure are coming back, I am not allowed to discuss anything related to future product and for very good reasons.
9When and if there is news you guys need to know, LEGO Company will announce it. It won't be announced in this topic, and if folks want to debate the future of BIONICLE, there are other places on the boards they can do that. This isn't the place for it, okay?
10Thanks.

So, please, be patient, and respect Greg's stand as a LEGO official who cannot reveal anything about the subject.
3More people should read this post. Thanks, misterbrickguy.
4Seriously, everyone, when you ask Greg to tell you about Bionicle in 2015 (and any other future theme) you ask him to lose his job for you and betray his employers trust. He is not allowed to talk about any future themes, and with good reason - what's so hard to understand about that?
5If anything, Greg should recieve a commendation, because he's staying firm to his duty despite the very stressful pressure.

1Hi Greg,
2Big fan here. Your work on BIONICLE over the years has inspired me to create my own fictional universe, which I have fleshed out so far with friends in the form of rolepaying. I aspire to one day become a science fiction writer like yourself or perhaps a creative/continuity consultant for a multimedia franchise. Right now I'm working towards employment in the videogame industry, so perhaps that will yield some reward.
3Anyway, I have a couple of questions:
41) When Toa use the powers of their Kanohi, the masks are often depicted as glowing with a bright yellow energy in the films. It's been a few years since I read the novels, so I would like to ask if this is canon, and not just a feature that was in the movies.
51a) If so, did the same happen when the Makuta used their Kanohi? Perhaps they glowed a different colour... or not at all.
61b) What about other Kanohi-wearing species, which various Dark Hunters belong to?
72) Can Vortixx use Kanohi?
83) Could Makuta use multiple Kraata powers at once, in conjunction with each other?
93a) If so, was there a limit?
104) Lehvak-Kal was in orbit around Aqua Magna when we last saw it. It is safe to assume that it is now orbiting Spherus Magna, or has it drifted off further into space?
115) Krana are organic, so do they require some sort of sustenance to keep them healthy and alive?
125a) If so, how was this achieved?
13Thank you for your time!

1Oh... ok. But there's still ONE thing...
2Quoting from Groovebricks:
3"it appears to be that LEGO also renewed the Bionicles.com domain again. If you type Bionicles.com on your browser now, it will redirect you to LEGO.com. This is something rather interesting and it leads us to the thought that LEGO is working on the Official Bionicle site. In fact, if you check the detailed information on the domain name, you’ll see that the domain was last updated on 2014-03-09 by the LEGO Company."
4Soooo... the last time the Bionicle domain was updated was March 9th, 2014? Well, I suppose that's still not enough evidence to prove Bionicle's return, seeing as that it's completely normal for companies to update domains they don't need and for a theme that ended 5 years ago...
5You're overlooking one simple thing:
6It has never been stated by anyone at LEGO that BIONICLE was NEVER coming back. And as long as the possibility exists that it may come back, you protect your domain name and you protect your trademarks. Back in the early '90s when not much was going on for Star Wars, there were no plans for more movies, etc., LFL was still acting to protect their trademarks against the day more would be happening for it. That's just good business.
7Same with Marvel -- they used to use a little comic strip on their news page to feature obscure characters they were not using in comics and had no immediate plans to use as a way of showing them in print to protect the trademark.
8Good point, and thanks for the Marvel fun fact. Well, I guess I'll just sit around and wait for 2015 when we'll all find out... (not literally, I wanna build something while I wait for the reveal or lack thereof)
2Are you involved in the TV shows for Ninjago, Chima, and Hero Factory?3If not, is there a chance you'll be involved in future projects for TV and Movies?
4I really liked the series of the first 3 BIONICLE movies and the new TV shows lack that *charm* of those movies, (Were you involved in all 4 BIONICLE movies?)
2Firstly, thank you for taking the time to answer my last question, and chatting to so many of us on this thread. It means a lot for us fans who grew up on some of your work for you to make the time in your schedule to answer our questions. I'm sure that many people in similar professions wouldn't do anything like this at all, so thank you for your efforts.
3I have a few questions for you:
41. Have you watched the recently released LEGO Movie, and if so what are your thoughts on it?52. As a child or an adult, have you or do you collect many LEGO products yourself?63. As a writer, what is it like to go back and read your own works? Do you enjoy them in the same way you'd enjoy other publications, or doesn't it feel the same?
7Thanks again for your time.
