Okay, Gali has done a mindlink on multiple occasions. Is this possible for all Toa, or is it a unique glitch in Gali's programing, like how Vakama had visions.

Hehe.Joking Ok, here's a question.

 

I have heard that in it's early stages, Bionicle was originally named Bone-Heads from Voodoo Island,later shortened to Doo-Heads. Is this true? Just curious, it's just a bit of a weird name for a LEGO theme.Joking

I like both, although I think Benedict Cumberbatch is starting to get a little overexposed and he's going to get typecast as an arrogant snob. I am excited for the new season of Dr. Who to see how the new actor does in the role. (I didn't mind Matt Smith,but I felt the show became too much about his companions.)

I believe it was something intended to be for her alone, because of her generally empathetic nature.

Doo-Heads I totally never heard, but yes, Boneheads was a "working title." It was never intended to be the real name. Sometimes you use working titles just for convenience, sometimes to make sure that if the name leaks out, no one can figure out what you are doing. Back when I was at the game company, we did a game called Shatterzone, but the working title while it was in development was "Dogs in Space." It did have to do with space, had nothing to do with dogs at all.

I didn't create BIONICLE. It was created 1999-2000 by a team of people at LEGO, but I did not join LEGO until late 2000. It already existed when I came on board, the sets had just not been released yet.

I would probably recommend building the world first, because that will give you an idea of what kinds of characters would live there, what their problems might be, etc. At LEGO Company, we often have artwork done first before we start really going into detail on characters.


Thank you! Another question: How did you feel when Bionicle was discontinued?


Disappointed, naturally. But I also knew LEGO had to have a good reason for what they did, because the people who run our company are very smart. And I guess I would rather it had been cancelled while a lot of people still liked it and it was still selling okay than to wait and have it just die on its own.This way, at least there is a chance it could come back someday, maybe. If it had been left to just get old and fail, then it would be much harder to even think about bringing it back.


Hmm. Well then, what role/s have you been taking in the process of creating Ninjago 2014?

Greg, you are so cool! I want to work at a LEGO store when I grow up!(Just for a while) I really love Ninjago! It's the best thing! Everything I have is about Ninjago! Ninjago bed covers, Ninjago Posters,Ninjago Jackets,Ninjago Episodes,and Ninjago blankets! So, here are some questions!
1. Do you like AMC'S The Walking Dead?
2. What's going to happen to Nya?
3. What happen to Pythor?(I know he got eaten, just why didn't he survive if Sensei did?)
4. What happened to Kai's father?
5. What is Kai's last name?
6.What is Cole's last name?
Thank you! Bye!

My only involvement with Ninjago is writing the graphic novels for Papercutz. I am not on the story team.
