1Hey Greg, as a reference for the story team, what exactly was your input on the new Bionicle line? I mean, what did the story team reference you for? Did you help with the story itself, or help flesh out the lore/characters, or help establish the overall tone? 

1Hi again Greg,

2I hope you don't mind me talking to you about an aspect of the new story that many older fans are worried about. Although you aren't writing the new story, I understand that you have had first-hand experience with some of the content in it, which is why I am bringing this up.

3As of now, many people including me have seen the Bionicle footage from NYCC. I like what I saw and had no objections with it, and many other people share this opinion. However, there are many fans of the old series who believe that the new Bionicle has been "kidified," and "watered down" in terms of tone and story, and "simplified" in terms of lore and depth. These complaints typically revolved around everything from the absence of old Bionicle terminology from the released info to the character bios, and more.  Though I felt the complaints were unjustified and the complainers too quick to judge, these things have intrigued me. 

4I understand that Bionicle will be and has always been marketed to children. It is a toyline first and foremost. But it was a unique and well-fleshed out one. Bionicle stuck with many fans both old and young, including me, not just because it was well-developed--anyone can, with enough time and imagination, create rich universes--but because it had a sense of maturity and took itself seriously. It was for kids, sure, but outside of the movies it never got to the point of being cheesy.

5Thus, although I believe that the complaints are unfounded, and that in the end Bionicle is for kids, I must ask: From what you can tell,  will be enjoyable to the older fans of the series? Also, how does the tone of the new story compare with the tone of the old?

6P.S. I hate to bother you, and I hope I'm not asking too much, but if you can't answer these questions can you send my inquiry to a LEGO employee whom you think can provide answers? Thanks.

1Hello Mr.Farshtey

2Bionicle has all sorts of fruit and soups and foods, so my question is do they have milk, and if they do does it come from certain rahi? Because I would like to know if matoran could eat certain cheeses while on long journeys, or after a hard game of MNOGII Kohlii? And since MNOLG references pies, could you use milk to make certain types of pies?

3Thank you for your Vahi.

1Greg. I am a HUGE fan. I have a question. Are you going to restart BionicleStory.com? Because I love that site. My friend showed me back in 2007, and I have been hooked ever since. Are you going to continue the serials?

1I guess this is my last question that has been just bugging me for almost four year: whatever became of Lesovikk? I really enjoyed your characterization of him and am very interested to see if you ever had anything planned for the Toa of Air.

2Thanks again.

1Greg, how do you feel about the differences between Kopaka from the old theme and Kopaka in the reboot?

 

2I know he's one of your favorite characters, and the change from serious, grim Batman to clumsy, moral warrior(Not saying this is bad) must feel strange. 

 

3Or did you give some kind of imput on this?

4I only saw the descriptions of the new Toa a few weeks ago. As for my opinions, they're just that -- my opinions -- and since I am a LEGO employee, this isn't really the place for me to get into  my opinions on stuff.

5My apologies, I should not have asked you a question that involved opinion towards your own company.

6So which of the old Bionicle story team members are involved in the reboot? Are you allowed to share names of the team who are working on the new story?

11. Why were the Fikou with pincers only placed on Voya Nui?

 

22. Were the Fikou smashed by the terrain of Spherus Magna or by creatures?

 

33. Can shore turtles retreat to their shells when threathened, like regular turtles?

 

44. Is there such a thing as gender in rahi?

1Will any new BIONICLE 2015 info, story, maybe maps, comics or something, be in the LEGO Club Magazine in 2015?

2Got buried.

 

3Also

 

42.) You've said before that the blue Fikou have adapted to watery regions, does this extend to coastal regions as well?

 

53.) What Rahi do you get asked most about here?

 

64.) Can you guess my favorite Rahi?

 

75.) Alongside the Orange Fikou, would Green Fikou also have adapted to the jungle regions?

8Got lost.

1Would Matoran classify Sea Squids as rahi, even though they are not? Similar to how they classify Kraata and Rahkshi as Rahi?

1You recently confirmed, I don't know where or even how, but it seems you did, that the First Toa Team's name was the Toa Cordak. Does this mean that Lesovikk kept a Cordak Blaster on his sled to remind himself of his failure?

1Can Krahka shapeshift to a previous "version" of someone, and also store their current version? For example, could she shift between the Toa Metru's Toa, Hordika, and Turaga forms, or can she only use their current form?

2I think this got lost.

1I have a few questions regarding Bionicle

21. Does the Mask of Creation that Ekimu wears look exactly like the one Artakha wears?

32. If a Matoran on Voya Nui transformed into a Toa while they still believed the Piraka were Toa, would he end up looking like a Skakdi or a strange Toa/Skakdi hybrid -ish thing?

43. Is there a Mask of Control or a counterpart of it in the Gen1 universe?

53b. If so, would it look exactly the same as the one in the Gen2 universe?

64. Why didnt Teridax kill the Turaga during his takeover? 

75. Does Voporak still possess the Mask of Time?

1Hi Greg

21 - If the Inika masks were not mutated, would their shape differ or it would remain the same ?

32 - Was Vakama's visions something given to his programming during his creation ?

43 - There's already a mask of Gravity, Shadows and Light. It is safe to assume that a Mask of the others elements exist as well ?

53.5 - How would a mask of water work ?

64 - How Nocturn was killed ?

75 - Is Hydraxon "Mask" his face or a Helmet ?
8Thanks !

1Hi Greg!

2Who owns currently the Mask of Time?
