1Greg,
2have jou any idea if the instructions of the kardas dragon wil come on bionicle.com?
3thanks.

1Shadrahk - Me, personally? I know that no one at LEGO is set against doing more. But there is probably no point in doing just one more DVD -- if we are going to do another one, my feeling is it should be bigger and better than what was done before. I have no idea whether a studio would be interested in doing a theatrical type movie for a six year old line, but who knows?
2Rabin - No, it does not.
3Daikunus - No, they didn't produce less. If you were having a hard time finding them, it probably means stores were ordering less. It was a second sequel, demand always goes down at that point.
4Hillhacker - I can ask. The web producer is on holiday until next week.

1Drift - We planned this back in 2004. Three year story, three different locations, one underwater.

1Could you explain more Clearly the powers of the Mask of Kindred? I don't understand.
2The Disousa
#112
1Since it's not coming into the story until next summer, you don't really need to understand it right now.

1Still...

#114
1come on dude if he say he can't talk about then its pointless to push on
#115
1Just a few questions: 21.Was the BoM really good, or just faking it the whole time? 32.Any particular reason why the MoLI can't bring back the dead? 43.Is Brutaka going to come in contact with the water in the pit. 54.Can Brutaka use his mask to teleport himself to somewhere else?If so, does that mean Botar would have taken away his mask, or even if not would Botar take his mask away anyways? 65.Are the Barraki bad, or evil? 76.Would there be any possible way to transform the Barraki a little more so the could be amphibious? 87.since the Inika don't come in contact with the water, if they were the Mahri, would the be some other way to transform them?
9Thanks.
#116
11) They were performing honorable acts for several thousand years. 22) Because I say it can't.33) Yes44) He could use it for that, but if he does, odds are Botar would just go after him and bring him back. 55) Both66) Not any natural means, no77) I never said they don't come in contact with the water. I said the water will not mutate them.
#117
1Because I say it can't.
2L.O.L. Heh.
3Anyways, Mr Honourable Greg,
41) Where did Brutaka teleport the Tahktorak from?
52) What is the Bionicle world's time ammount? (1 day has 24 hours?) And is their time similar to ours?
63) Matoran kill. For food. That bad? Still killing.
74) When the links connecting Metru Nui and other islands were severed, were the other islands affected? (or after the Great Catalysm?)
8Cheers
#118
11) Its home island22) We have never established a system of time for Matoran, for two reasons. One, we haven't needed to. And two, we often have to use our own terms (day, hour, week, etc.) in the story, just so people understand what we are talking about. 33) I don't understand your question. When we talk about Toa not killing, we aren't saying they are all vegetarians -- and I think most people understand that. (And even vegetarians cause plants to be uprooted, which kills the plant. For that matter, we all kill microscopic creatures every day.) We also aren't saying they are pacifists. We are talking about making a choice to kill an enemy or not. Batman and Spider-Man both have made vows against killing, yet both eat burgers and hot dogs. It's two different debates. 44) Sure. Metru Nui was a major trade center, and its power plant supplied energy to many other islands.

1One question.
2Why did LEGO decide on a power like the Kanohi Tryna's? That might push alot of people away. Especially parents who are actually watching what their kids play with. It's not a very nice power at all. Those who are -dead- should stay that way. That's as far as I'll go with that.

1But they are still dead, Kanahka. The life in them is no different than the "life" in a Bohrok -- it's artificial. And keep in mind we are dealing with bio-mechanical beings to start with, who are already part machine. It is possible, in that case, to activate the machine parts even if the organic tissue is not functioning.
2My recommendation would be that people keep in mind this is fantasy fiction. You might also want to consider the possibility that the Toa using the Tryna is not all that comfortable with it either, and may end up having to atone for using it down the line.
3Also, do you have an issue with skeleton mini-figures in Castle sets? Aren't they reanimated bones?
4Finally, while I am not going to sit here and say no one will be bothered by this, the people who are most likely to be ditched BIONICLE a long time ago because of other aspects they didn't like.

1First and second paragraphs, I can understand. But I don't play with skeleton-type figures. Too creepy if you ask me. But yes, this does answer my question. Thanks, Mr. F [Smile]

1greg, do u know if reysa is going to be one of the matoran u said would be released in that store exclusive pack this summer?

#123
1Not as far as I know, no.
#124
1Just for fun, Do you buy all the sets or even any sets?
2how did TLC hire you? Like were they wanting a new writer for the books? Where you working with TLC already or did they just find you?
#125
11) I buy some, but I have limited room in my house for anything new -- so anything new I bring in means something old has to get sold or donated.
22) I was hired at the end of 2000 as the writer for LEGO Magazine, and my day job is now Editor in Chief for the LEGO Community Development division. The books are written freelance, they are not part of my LEGO job.

#126
1Are the servants on the Dark Hunters island Matoran or some other lifeform?
#127
1Greg, my little brother just got one of the Barraki, and I took one look at him and went, WOW! 2The sets this year all have a lot of personality right there in the plastic. 3Did you get a chance to see the finished sets before you developed the characters for the 07 books? If so, did it affect the personalities you created for them?
#128
1Kokua - Mostly non-Matoran.
2Ouranos - I did have images of the close to finished sets when I did the books. To some extent, the look influenced how I took them, especially with Takadox and Carapar ... less so with Kalmah and some of the others.
#129
1Greg, can you tell us if there will be a 3-way combiner, me n vash think it will be makuta.
#130
1Shiruk - I don't know for certain, although we do usually do one, but I can tell you it won't be Makuta.
2Greg
#131
1can you give us a hint as to what mantax is doing in the pit?
#132
1greg, is there a possibility my toa mahri theory is correct? are a number of mahri matoran the toa mahri?
Last Edit: by Daikunus 1K
#133
1Shiruk - Not sure I understand your question.
2Daikunus - I cannot discuss the Toa Mahri, it's too early.
#134
1ok greg ill make it simpler.....
2what is mantax doing in the pit and does it have huge storyline significance. (when he goes into the flooded areas of the pit kno1 knos what he is doing O_O)
#135
1When does Lariska lose her arm, is it after the failed attempt to wipe out the Toa?
#136
1Shiruk -- Not a huge storyline impact, no. There are two reasons he's there, one long-standing, one recent. One gets brought up in comic 7, the other I don't know how I am fitting in yet.
2Kokua - She lost her arm as a disciplinary action from the Shadowed One. The Toa did not do it.
#137
1I know the Toa wouldn't do anything as sick as that, was wondering if TSO ordered it done when the Dark Hunters got back from Metru Nui.
Last Edit: by Kokua, winged singer
#138
1Hi Mr. Greg. It is an honour to be typing to you! 2I was wondering if Matoro were the Toa Mahri of Ice then would he have a new kanohi? Thus Makuta would not be able to enter Matoro's body because he would have a new mask power.
#139
1Kokua - No, because TSO didn't hold Lariska responsible for that.
2RM - I can't discuss the Toa Mahri.

1Greg, do you think that, since there is so much info on the bohrok, Vezon, Bahrag, etc, in the cancelled BL7--that that WOULD build up anticipation and sales would shoot up?

2And, I forgot to ask on the phone--what is the Bionicle World Art thing? Is it just a big book of random art from around-theworld artists? And when will it be coming out?
