1So will the Bahrag understand why the Toa Mata/Nuva had kept them from preforming their duties when the Toa free them?
2Will they remain 'Enemies' or become allies in some form or another?
3Also, if Voya Nui were to reconnect to the Mainland, wouldn't it need to fall a long way down?

11-2) The Nuva are not going to be hanging out with the Bahrag after they free them, so none of this is really going to come up.
23) Yes, it would have a long way to travel.
#633
1This has been a bit unclear... Are Toa Mahri' tubes literally gills that are permanently attached, or some kind of artificial device? So, can Toa Mahri breath air?
#634
1Toa Mahri cannot breathe air, the tubes are gills
#635
1Did someone delete my question or something? I could have sworn I posted this question twice, bu I cannot find it!
2Greg, what is your favorite TV series/movie?
#636
1Yes it keeps being deleted. This is for questions about Bionicle, not questions about the author's personal life.
#637
1Oooooh, I see, then why did they not delete other posts about his personal life? This should probably be a forum about both...I'll talk to Immy 'bout that...
2Sorry!
3EDIT: It is never implied that this topic is just for Bionicle questions.

1No, it's VERY implied. It's just not directly said. It's assumed that people have some sense of where the line is.
2Next, people will be asking him his wife's name etc., or what school his children go to.

1off topic: hooray for aegis. achieving balance, as his sig says.
2on topic: can you list the "organic" organisms we've met so far? krana, kraata, squids, are there any others?
#640
1Actually, Aegis, I just got a PM the other day from someone asking my wife's name, so you are a psychic [Smile]
2Shadow -- Krana, kraata, squids, Mahri Nui venom eels, Mahri Nui giant squid, Karzahni (plant), Morbuzakh ... there are probably others, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.
#641
1Mr. Farshtey, I have a few questions for you.
21. Is the mutation that occurs when you go into the pit Painful?32. How long does the transformation take?43. Why are the waters of the pit mutanogenic?54. Did the barraki look remotely like they look now before their transformation?65. Can the Matoran Of Mahri- Nui breathe Air?76. Because the toa Nuva's mission is not over yet, will they be rerealeased or remade? 87. Are there any plans to remake/ Revamp/ Release Takanuva? 98. Why do they keep making remakes of old lego star wars sets instead of making some of the other stuff from the movies?
10Just some things that i was wondering. Thanks!
#642
1are those fully organic or also even part mechanic? if they are only organic do they have something like DNA?
#643
1so then the non organics can create organics? like, makuta created the kraata, and the matoran can make the morbuzahk2can they still do that? or did the matoran forget how to do it when they were stuck in the pods? and did the creatures outside of the domes that got in [like the squids] did they mutate like the barraki did?
#644
1Scholzie -21) No32) Varies depending on what is being changed and by how much43) Hasn't been revealed54) No65) Yes76) My assumption is they will be87) Haven't heard anything definite on that98) Asking the wrong person -- I am not an SW set designer or marketing manager. What we make, as far as I know, is what Lucasfilm wants us to make.
10Shikamaru - Organics do not have mechanical parts. Whether they have DNA or not has not been determined.
11Shadow - Matoran did not make the Morbuzakh, Makuta did.
#645
1That's hardly a biography, Aegis.
2And, where is it implied? As far as I can see, greg should be answering my question--you still have not yet proved that this is only for Bionicle questions.
3So, where is it 'implied but not directly said?'
4Greg, what's your favorite TV series/movie and Bionicle set from each year?
#646
1Don't have a favorite set from every year. I concentrate on story far more than I do on models.
#647
1Are mutations due to the Pit's waters permanent?
#648
1Has Lego ever thought of making special edition versions of then-current sets, like a completely transparent Matoro Inika?
2-Rabin
#649
1So if the matoran from mahri-nui can breathe air, why don't they leave and go back to Voya Nui? cant they swim there?
#650
1*sighs* Questions here have really gotten bad... (This is a generalized statement)
2To take the load off Greg...
3Scholzie: No. 1. They don't know Voya Nui is still up there. 2. Have you read the end of BL#5? The Matoran who swam from Mahri Nui to save Hahli died from the pressure.
#651
12. Have you read the end of BL#5? The Matoran who swam from Mahri Nui to save Hahli died from the pressure.
2Or lack of [Wink] 3-Rabin
#652
1Jaril - Thus far, nothing has been shown to be able to reverse them.
2Rabin - Not to my knowledge, I doubt there would be a huge market for that. That is something that would appeal mainly to really in-depth collectors, and there aren't a lot of those in our fanbase.
3Scholzie - ET is basically correct. They don't know Voya Nui is there, and Mata Nui (even if they knew it existed) is way too far to swim to. As for the Matoran's death, that was mainly an issue of rising too far too fast, much like human divers can contract the "bends" from doing.

#653
1are there any "fohrok" sets planned? or maybe bohrok peices in tub sets?
#654
1VB - No. We did Bohrok twice, and by the time we did the Kal, they had stopped selling. No point in doing them three times. As far as the tubs, the tubs get made up of whatever pieces we have extras of -- since the last Bohrok sets were four years ago, I doubt we still have any of those pieces lying around.
#655
1What's the difference between the Grafna and the Hydruka? They look the same from what I can tell. Are the Grafna just smaller or what?
2And Is there any kind of mask other than the Kanohi and Krana?
3Also, It's more of a question about Lego pieces, but Bionicle related, I apologize If I'm not supposed to ask, but does the (LEGO) company still have the ability to make old-fashioned Toa heads and masks? I hope they still can.
4Another question, what species did Axonn, Brutaka, and Umbra belong to?
5And is it true that there was a planned combiner for the Toa and bohrok at one time?
Last Edit: by Gaku
#656
1will there be a tub this year? if so will there be a bunch of skakdi (piraka) parts?
2are there any new skakdi sets planned in the next few years?
3will the piraka be back soon? i have to say i like the idea of the villians not being defeated every year.

1I have over heard a lot of stories about a Toa named Shakuto that joined the Dark Hunters but left after he has supposed to kill an old freind and is now seeking redemption. I also heard he was the best Toa swordsmen; is he real and if he is could you discribe him for me please. Things like element power, color, personality.
2thank you Greg
#658
1Shock_Dragoon - That character does not exist.
2Gaku - The only kind of mask are Kanohi. All Kanohi are masks. Krana are... Well, Krana. But they aren't masks.
3Gafna and Hydruka are different species, duh. And there's pleny of differences... The head, for example. And the fact that the Hydruka only live in the water and Gafna on land.
4@Species - No names have been given.
5I can't answer the rest.
6Vahki Bones - The Piraka will be back in BL#8
7----
8And go ahead y'all. Send me more hate mail for helpin' Greg out. It doesn't bother me in the least.

1To supplement ET's answers --
2Gaku -- On the ability to make old masks and heads, I cannot give you an official answer. It depends on if the old molds exist or not. After so many uses, molds crack, and unless you know you need to keep making those pieces, you don't buy new ones as they are really expensive. And I don't recall ever hearing anything about a Toa-Bohrok combiner.
3VB - I haven't heard anything about a tub, but usually I wouldn't. It usually depends on if we have more parts than we need and need to get rid of them -- that doesn't always happen. No, there are no new Skakdi sets planned -- see Bohrok-Kal for the reason why not.
4Greg
#660
1Greg, I think what VB meant was mutated/transformed/elite/etc. skakdi.
#661
1Shadow - Answer's still no.
#662
1If Mata Nui dies, the Toa Nuva (or the Inika/Mahri)will never be able to complete their destinies, right?
#663
1Jaril - That would be correct, can't really wake up someone who's dead.
#664
1Do dark hunters have to pass a test or go through some sort of training before they become members? or do they just pick up people and instantly make them members? Are there rankings for different members?
#665
1To answer your first question, yes, they do -- Sidorak and Hakann are seen going through such tests in BL #4, and Nidhiki worked as a trainer for DH for sometime after his defection. I don't know that there are rankings as such, but certainly members with more experience/better records would get choicer assignments.
