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?
#142
1TC - Unfortunately, no, because the only buzz about that is on MOD and BZP -- and that doesn't equal enough people to sell enough books. A lot of great effort was put in on the sites in the wake of the news, but in the end, it didn't result in business improving. Too many people on these sites just read the spoilers and don't bother to buy books.
2As for BIONICLE World, that is the atlas, or at least a name I have heard may be used for the atlas.

1And are the Toa Mahri surely the Inika, mutated to be in the water the Barraki were?
#144
1Greg, my little brother has a question for you. He wants to know why Botar didn't ever just go and take Makuta to the pit. Is Makuta stronger?
#145
1TC - I cannot discuss the Toa Mahri. The sets don't come out until summer.
2TOS - Couple of things at play here:
31) Botar only takes you to the Pit after you have been defeated. Makuta has never been defeated for all that long, and --
42) Let's say Botar does grab him and exile him. Now you have the whole BOM up in arms because their leader has been kidnapped. And before they're through, they will uncover the existence of the OOMN, which the Order does not want at this point because it would vastly reduce their effectiveness.

1Disousa -- Why bother? As Rahaga, she had them caged until Norik and Iruini broke them out. After that, she never got close enough to them to use her spinner, and when she did finally catch them, she used them as bait to trap the other Toa Hordika. Dead bait is useless.
2Also keep in mind -- they stole and hid the Mask of Light. Dead, they couldn't tell her where it was.

2Dude! Remove that link NOW, that's a leaked picture!
3Greg- Is there ever going to be a Mask of Intangibility, allowing a user to pass through solid objects unharmed while remaining fully visible?

1Shiruk - No pictures have been released to the public by the LEGO Company. The only thing achieved by people hunting down set pics this early is that they are left with nothing to talk about or look forward to the rest of the year (and then midway through the year they complain they are bored because they know everything already). At any rate, my policy remains the same -- until LEGO Company releases pics for fans, not retailers, I cannot discuss summer sets.
2PD - Pretty much impossible for me to answer an "ever" question. If the designers make a new mask shape, it's always possible we could assign it a power like that.

1greg, on the new bionicle.com in the short video, is the mask thats falling from the ocean's surface a new form of the mask of life?
2 also greg, 2 other questions...
31. 4is this a official final/prototype cover for bionicle world?
52.what are the three things across the cover's bottom?
Last Edit: by Daikunus: Keeper of the Moli
#154
1I was going to ask that too...it looks like it, given all the strobed "searching tentacle" bits of it.
2Not to mention the indent spreading across the mask's face resembles a "Vitruvian Toa".

1Hello, Greg -2What is a "cord" of stone? I surmise an improbably narrow column, but cord is such a specific expression I wonder if something further is meant. Is the stone somehow braided? Is the cord flexible in some way? Has something cord-like ossified?3I'm not quite able to picture it.

1hey, greg, is the information in BL7 going to be revealed anywhere else? or is it just going to be disregarded?

3domo arigatoo. do we know if it'll be in flash movies or just there somehow?
#162
1i thought it was dono not domo, anyway greg what was toa jovans mission? was it to heal mata nui with the ignika? i am unsure of this @_@
#163
1guys, i think it'd be a good ideaa to hold all further questions till greg can answer the ones we have posted
#164
1Greg must be asleep or something, he has ALOT of Q's to answer...
#165
1well legos gotta be busy right now right? i mean, begining of 07, and all this leaking of pics...not gooooooood....for them, i mean. great for us. =D and btw shiruk, it's domo, i took japanese last yearrr
#166
1Daikunus - 1) Yes. 2) I have no info on what cover they are using or on its design. I don't see the covers before the books come out.
2Carbunicle - It's is basically a long stone structure with a labyrinth of tunnels inside which links Voya Nui and Mahri Nui.
3Nikara - If it shows up anywhere, it will be on BIONICLE.com (or possibly BIONICLEstory.com, I am not sure if that is the planned site for it or not)
4Shiruk - At the time Jovan was active, Mata Nui's health was imperiled by the Great Disruption, which was why the Ignika needed to be used.
5Nikara - Actually, leaked pics are not good for you either -- once you see them, what do you have left to discuss for the next 11 months until the 2008 sets come out? While all the people who didn't see them get excited in the spring as official images come out, you will be bored stiff because it will be old news.

#167
1good point. i guess i got 0wn3d. but what's the great disruption?
#168
1Great Disruption is the period of the Matoran Civil War.

1Didnt know that. [Razz]
2Greg, why have the Barraki been sent to the pit, I know I sent you a PM but you havnt replied.
#170
1What is the pit, exactly?
#171
1It's the place where condemned (as in those who have done wrong against Mata-Nui) go.
2Greg, since the names of the Mahri toa have bee made public at this point, is there anymore info you can give us on them?
3And am I allowed to tell anyone what Nocturn broke?
#172
1My mistake on the Great Disruption question -- comes from reading the question too fast. Post has been edited to correct this.
2Max - They rebelled against Mata Nui, that's why they were condemned.
3Gabrhil - There have been two Pits. The first was a prison, which got shattered by the Great Cataclysm. The inmates escaped, were mutated by the waters outside, and so lost the ability to live on land -- making their new home effectively another prison.
4Toa of Cheese - Thank you for the first question, allows me to make my position clear. The fact that people want to go online and spread leaked images and info and ruin the story for people -- or that BZP chose to headline the information -- does not change my situation. LEGO policy is that I cannot discuss sets until the company has released images to the public. That has not happened yet. The images that are online have been leaked from retailer catalogs, and my using that as an excuse to start talking about stuff early would be the equivalent of condoning the practice. So, no, I am not going to discuss the Mahri, it's too early.
5As for the Nocturn thing, I have no objection to you sharing that.

1Hopefully I'm not disturbing the normal flow of these boards by asking this, but I was curious.
2Mr. Farshtey if you don't mind me asking, what is your opinion on the BIONICLE.com short movie?
#174
1VE -- I have only glanced at it, I haven't had time to sit down and focus on watching it.
#175
1What did Nocturn break? And does he currently have the MoLi as his bionicle.com bio says?
