3I moved here for the job. The LEGO Company US HQ is in Connecticut.

 

4That's what I thought(second part, not first). That's good for me as I already live in New HampshireHappy! I could get a job with LEGO maybe working on LEGO.com(my major is computer science)! Where did you live before ConnecticutThinking?

6Oh okay, so you were already in the areaSmile.

1Hi Greg, I have some questions:

 

21. What do Ussal Crabs eat? Are they carnivors?

32. Are all of the Toa Mangai from different islands, or do some of them come from the same one?

43. Does a Ba-Toa have more control over gravity than the Kanohi Garai or vice versa?

54. Approximatley, how old is Annona?

65. Was she born before the Agori species?

76a. Do Glatorian and Agori have the same lifespan?

86b. If yes, do Great Beings have a longer lifespan than them?

97a. Do Glatorian and Agori descend from the same species?

107b. If yes, are they related in any way to the GB's?

118. Does any Agori or Glatorian know about Annona, beside Sahmad?

129a. I've heard that you don't think that redemption stories are unrealistic, is that true?

139b. If yes, why?

1Greg, do you love working at LEGO? It has always been my dream.

1Hey Greg, what is your favorite Toa Tool?

11) I would think that Teridax's Plan would hinge upon the fact that he can control machinery as Antidermis, as that's the way that he takes over the GSR. But, in The Mutran Chronicles, it shows that the Makuta went through their evolution after Teridax came up with his Plan. So, what did Teridax plan to do when he first had the idea? What was the significance of the knowledge that the universe was a giant robot if it didn't mean that he could become the universe?22) Can any Matoran become a Toa, or do destined Matoran have something programmed into them that lets them become Toa, while non-destined Matoran can't?32b) If the latter is the correct one; in The Kingdom, there were six Matoran that became Toa. Does that mean that those six Matoran have that potential in the main universe as well?43) Did the Brotherhood of Makuta know the location of the Dark Hunters' fortress?54) Did Teridax assemble his team of Hagah before or after taking control of the Brotherhood?65) Can Makuta shapeshift wings and fly around whenever they need to get somewhere? Or would that take too much energy?76) When did Ancient start working for the Order of Mata Nui?

87) Did the Makuta Mistika choose their insectoid forms and then the mutagen locked them in them, or did they have different forms before and the mutagen changed them to look like insects?

1 Hey greg, could take a look at my questions on the previous page?

91) Well, remember, his initial plan was to win the Matoran of Metru Nui over to his side. Had he succeeded in doing that, he would have de facto controlled the robot's brain. His plan was to knock Mata Nui out and stage a coup by getting the Matoran to worship him. He had no way to know at the start that Mata Nui would wind up dying as a consequence of the crash. So at that point the plan changed. At least, that is how I see it.

102) No.

112b) No.

 

123) Yes

134) Don't recall

145) Yes. But it rarely became necessary.

156) Soon after establishing the base at Odina

167) The former

6#6: What's your favorite, and least favorite bionicle set?

7#7: plz explain what nuva symbols are. i never understood. Joking

161, 4, 10) Not involved with new BIONICLE at all, so I can't answer questions regarding it.

172) Declining set sales.

183) No

195) No

206) There have been too many sets over the years for me to remember them all

217) The Nuva symbols were the key for the lock that kept the Bahrag imprisoned

228) I don't look at fan-generated content

239) It's what's called a "co-promotion." Certain toys are sold exclusively through restaurants - every kid who goes in sees the toy, and it drives traffic to the restaurant.

2411) No

2512) BIONICLE was just getting established in 2001 and 2002, no one knew if it would be successful, so there was no movie deal until 2002. And the 2005 movie did not sell well, so there was no interest in movies for a while after that.

2613) No, I really don't MOC.

1 grug fratshey?! YASS I WANT TO TALLK WIT HIME!!

1Hey Greg-Sama, in which year (BCG) did the Raid on Artakha take place?

13Thanks for answering! Just so you know, bionicle is my favorite LEGO theme, followed by ninjago. Thank you for helping make those themes! Smile I can see why web of shadows didn't sell well. It wasn't that great. (Sorry, I didn't really like it) it is probably the ABSOLUTE WORST year of bionicle. Sad

14 Do you agree? If you could make any changes to that story, what changes would you make?

1Hey Greg,

 

2I had a question about a quote from the Rahi Beasts Guide.  Not sure if you remember it, but thought I'd check.  It's a quote by Rahaga Pouks on the Kanohi Dragon entry:

 

3"I asked Vakama about this beast.  The Kanohi Dragon has evidently not been seen for generations.  According to Vakama, Toa Lhikan and ten of his comrades fought a great battle against the creature and drove it away long, long ago.  More than that, he did not know, and Lhikan never cared to share more of the tale."
 
4Does this mean that Vakama was not yet "born" when the dragon attacked or is it just that he was somewhere else when it happened?

1I can't believe I went a year on the MBs without noticing this topic. DisappointedFace palm And apparently it's still active. Joking

 

2I have no questions (yet), but I do want to thank you for writing such amazing books, Greg. Joking I'm 19 and in college, but I've read and reread Bionicle countless times. I had Bionicle figures before I started collecting LEGO brick sets too. So a big thank you for writing all that. Joking

1Mr. Farshtey:

 

2Are you content with the way Teridax died? If not, how would you have changed it had the original BIONICLE not been cancelled?
