Thanks for telling me that. I found it and was very happy. But the CD's would still be cool, and I think I may be misunderstood. I do not mean promotional discs, and they do not have to be only Bionicle.

I mentioned this in a tread I started, "Online Shop Ideas." There could be several discs that are retro throwbacks and sold. I mean, who dosn't love a good retro throwback? They could have the Bionicle content I mentioned, old LEGO commercials like Zach the LEGO Maniac, "Go, Go Miniman," LEGO Star Wars ones, and so forth. That's some good stuff, and it should be saved and seen. The same applies to the digital comics and games, even good old ones like "Backlot" and for the old themes.

Hello again!

I was wondering:

How did the Red Star's function break and why couldn't it be fixed?

Hey Greg, do you know who Dan and Kevin Hageman are the one who write's about Ninjago. I want to know because I want to meet them and talk to them!

Dear Mr. Farshtey:

 

1) So you said that Tahu is in possession of kraata powers other than heat vision, right? Can you give us a rough estimate of how many of the 42 kraata powers Tahu has? (e.g. a couple, about half, most)

 

2) And also, can you give us one example of a Kraata power that Tahu has aside from heat vision?

 

3) Are Tahu's elemental powers weakened now that he is in his mata state, or did his absorbtion of the Golden Armor's energies boost them back up?

 

5) Finally, if it were up to you, would you have had Kopaka, Takanuva or another character wear the Golden Armor?

1) No, not something I have calculated

2) Quick healing

 

3) Not significantly

 

4) No, because Tahu was always the most popular and best-selling Toa

Can you quote more power (Like the Quick Healing) ?

Hello Mr. Farshtey,

it's an honor of me chatting with you. I have one question on Velika's name:

- In 2012, on BZPower (I cannot link to it, but the thread was called “[Update 9/20] Disguised Great Being Revealed!”), you stated that “The Great Being was already named Velika before inhabiting the Matoran body.”
- But in 2013, on page 234 of this chat, you wrote that “He assumed [the name] as a Matoran.”

So my question is: Which version is right? Is Velika the name of the Great Being or did the Great Being change his name to Velika when he was part of the Matoran Universe, which would make “Velika” a pseudonym?

I'm a story writer and I totally agree about the outlines. I don't get what the whole need for outlines is about because I always think of the whole story in my head and then I try to translate the story into writing. Why should I restrict my writing by making an outline? What I do with my writing is I look at other writers, take out their techniques that I think are good and I leave the ones I don't like. The result is still my own unique writing style.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you say "restrict your writing." It's very easy, with an outline, to just coast along and write what you plotted out. But the best scenes I have ever written and the best plot twists I have done have been things that just came to me as I was writing. Plus, if you already know the whole story, writing it gets boring.

There was a radio actor who used to be notorious for never reading his script before doing the show. When asked why, he said, "If my character gets into a death trap, it will sound more convincing if I have no idea how he is going to get out it."

I have to agree. I write short stories occasionally, and the best ideas that I've had have come spontaneously.

Without fail, whenever I try and plan a story out, I get bogged down and bored. Greg's writing style appeals to me, because the story is constantly fresh and exciting.

Hi again!

1. There's a movement to make a page on BS01 for the group Brutaka headed to free Miserix in Federation of Fear, which made us realize we never got a name for said group. Is the group just called the Federation of Fear, and if not, what is its name? Also, what is the name for the group in The Yesterday Quest (maybe "the Yesterday Questers" ).

2. Seeing as Kraata are made of Antidermis, if one is around for too long does it turn into gas? If so, could it be solidifed again, or would a Makuta need to make a new one?

Thank you!

Have you ever considered writing a BIONICLE - Hero Factory crossover?

Hi Greg,

I enjoy making up my own stories and characters, and am considering a career in writing. Do you have any advice for me?
