1.Would it be possible for a makuta to create and
manipulate the dark matter.
2.Mata nui could he control the functions of the Red Star
for reborn the death of the UM.
3.or is currently Zaktan.
4.if a Matoran absorbs sufficient powers
elementary with the stone nui Could it
become a toa
1) What dark matter?
2) I think the RS is intended to operate independently.
3) ?
4) I don't think so, no. There has to be something in the Matoran that gets triggered for him to become a Toa, it's not just about elemental power.
voporak1 wrote:hi MR. GREGHow great to be disguised as a Matoran has managed to eliminate two of the most powerful beings in the universe.
He's a GB. He helped create all these things, so he would know how to destroy them.
techgirl8184 wrote:Greg, i had a simple little question...
Is it SUPER HARD to keep track of the order of the ninjago sets and was it the same with Bionicle?
Not sure what you mean by the "order" of the sets.
Tomasko579 wrote:Hello Greg I have few questions for you:
1. Kanohi kraahkan allow user to acces elemantal shadow powers, anger and fear. The mask howerer will not boost any pre-existing shadow powers and can also be worn only by Makuta. All Makuta have shadow powers on their own, which the mask will not boost. All that remains for them is anger and fear. So what's the point of kraahkan having shadow powers if noboby but Makuta can use it but they won't gain anything from it ?
2.The power of legendary masks is said to be too much to handle by even Toa or Makuta. Artakha is wearing legendary mask of creation regularly. Does it mean that he could wear other legendary masks and have full control of them ?
3. Why don't shadow matoran call themselves kra-matoran ?
Sorry if it's too long, but I had to ask.
1) Well, for one thing, it uses those shadow powers to repel non-Makuta that try to use it. Also, if as a Makuta you want to use one of your other 42 powers instead of your shadow power, the mask allows you to use its shadow power.
2) Yes
3) Because shadow Matoran aren't really considered a tribe in and of themselves. They are just corrupted other Matoran.
legoluigi109 wrote:Greg this a very personnel question that everybody either knows and has probably been posted before ,but why did you shut down Bionicle or stopped working on it and not continue the story?
1) BIONICLE was ended by LEGO because of diminishing sales, as I understand it.
2) I stopped working on the serials because after my daughter was born I did not have the spare time, since those had to be done at home.

Could there be a story line for LEGO minecraft
And if so would you write it
P.s. anniversary of your first BIO book!
No idea. I am not familiar enough with Minecraft to know what the story potential of it is.
O_O GREG FARSHTEY! *faints, then recovers*
Greg, as an author, what do you think makes a great story. Do you considder all your works to have that element? What's your most favorite work you ever wrote?
I'm a huge fan of your books! ^_^

Oh great. Human worshipping? I thought that was in the past?
Great Beings are not gods. They are merely scientists, that made some robots that ended up having souls due to a glitch. It has been even shown in BIONICLE that they themselves do not like the title "Great Beings" and feel as though it doesn't describe them accuratley. #KnowBIONICLEAlready.
No need to get mad, and believe it or not, I don't want to know the story
So, you start raging at someone for calling Greg Farshtey a "Great Being" because you think that's human worship, and when I try to explain otherwise you tune me out? Seriously.
*UBER FACEPALM*
What about a facefoot?
Some Indians who do yoga could probably put their own ffot to their face. Most humans can't. Frankly I can't quite see the appeal of it myself.
I can do that =P
With all due respect, Mr. Farshtey is a hard working man who has very little spare time, and you all waste that spare time by going off the train tracks about Yoga, Hashtags and flaming.
If you have nothing important(Or rather, nothing on topic) to post, please post nothing at all. Thank you.

This made my day and brought me warm memoories, even if it has been WAY MORE THEN ONE YEAR.
What a great book. I remember reading it when I was 7. I enjoyed how Vakama taunted the Rahi Nui, much to the chagrin of the confused Toa Nuva.
I noticed at the end, all the Toa Nuva had their Kanohi Nuva and hadn't beaten the Bohrok-Kal. In Chronicles #3: Makuta's Revenge, Lewa mentions having MOST of the Kanohi Nuva. Since yours came afterwards, I assume you are the final retcon, Greg?
How come there were never any approved names containing Q without U (ex. Qelar) or apostrophes (ex. Ro'gar)?
Is it possible that Velika's name is derived from his original GB name?
What is your favorite Kanohi?
Why didn't Teridax try to use his shadowhand during his fight with Takanuva?
Is there anything in any LEGO theme you wanted to explore?
What recent project you've worked on?
I don't understand why you can't read fanfiction on the LEGO message boards? Doesn't LEGO own any fanfiction we post here?

Thanks!
No, it wasn't. LEGO has done ninja themes before, this was simply a ninja theme with more of a story to it.
Oh okay, thanks. I just thought because of the elemental powers, wise, tea-loving brother of the main villian, and uncle of a villian-turned hero, etc etc.

Who the heck is Greg Farshtey
Lol, I kinda felt the same way at first XD (I thought it was Greg WEISMAN, writer and producer of such great works as Young Justice and Spectacular Spider-Man)
Anyways, OT, He helped with Ninjago and BIONICLE.
Alright Greg, I got some questions for you:
Is the Phantom Ninja in Cole: Ninja of Earth the same as the one in Ninjago #10: The Phantom Ninja?
I have Ninjago #1, #2, #3, #5, and #8, and really love them all. Definitely a fan. Just curious, do you know if the graphic novels exist in the same canon as the TV show, or are they written in a way so that they aren't able to exist together?
I have yet to buy #4, #5 and #6. I plan on buying them all sometime soon, but which would you suggest to read first and why?
I forgot to post more involving the Hero Factory Secret Missions books. So this shadowy organization, did you have an approved name for it? How about approved character names for various agents? Did you plan on them ever being beaten by Hero Factory?
You mentioned the Legend of Chima story bible, as well as a Ninjago story bible. First, how many of these names do you recognize from the Legends of Chima story bible(Some of these might be made up, which is why I'm asking you):
Buber
Bozy
Bungey
Rinona
Gardo, Gordo or Grumlo(This minifig exists, but different sources have different names for him)
Dom De La Woosh
Shadowind
Lavertus(Yes, the last two are the same guy)
Scorm
Logas
Lothar
Gornay
I know who they all are, I just wanted name confirmations.
Next, Ninjago:
General Cryptor
Min-Droid
Overborg
Digital Overlord
Dareth
Neido(A Ninjago ninja from LEGO Universe-hey, you could retcon him as the Phantom Ninja!)
Thanks for answerng these questions. Sorry for the sheer volume of annoyance, but curiosity was passed down to me from my MOM(NOT MY DAD.
)
