Hi Mr.Farshey . How have the books you've read and loved influinced your writting style?

Let me rephrase question #1. Would you want to be the writter of BIONICLE if it was brought back?

Also, since you could't answer question #s 3 and 5, I'll simplify it. Who is your favorite Toa Mata/Nuva? Also, who is you favorite of the Toa Inika/Mahri?

Thanks for responding!

1. Without the Toa Seal, which would be stronger: Protosteel or Crystalised Protodermis?
2. Does Makuta's ability to disrupt Kaita work on ALL Kaita or just Toa and Matoran?
3. If Dume, Vakama, Matau, Nokama, Onewa, Whenua, and Nuju all had a Turaga fight, who would win?

Hi Greg I have a few questions for you.

 

1. Was Ninjago originally going to be replaced by Chima?

 

2. If you brought BIONICLE back what would you like the theme to be?

 

3. Did you want to keep the BIONICLE story line going?

 

4. Who was your favorite character in BIONICLE?

 

5. Which do you prefer, Hero Factory or BIONICLE?

 

6. Is there a way to find any of your BIONICLE stories on the Internet?

 

Thank you for your time.

1) I wouldn't say that, no. Ninjago was planned from the beginning to be a three-year line. It's being extended because it ended up being so successful.

2) No idea, haven't thought about it

 

3) Of course

 

4) Too many to list

 

5) They both have merits. A lot of people I see dislike Hero Factory because they think it caused BIONICLE's cancellation, which is not true. HF wasn't even created until the decision had been made about BIONICLE

 

6) Not that I am aware of. I don't know if the comics are anyplace, and posting the novels online would be illegal.

@6

You can download them on the Biomedia Project.

Hey Greg,

 

I was wondering-

 

1. If a few years down the line one the LEGO series you are currently working on was either cancelled or passed on to another author, and if LEGO gave the OK  to continue/reboot BIONICLE, would you agree to write the story again?

 

2. If BOINICLE did come back would you make it have a darker appeal like 2006 because of how BIONICLE's original fanbase is older now, or would you keep it more light-hearted like Chima?

 

3. Who is your favorite character out all the the stories you have written. my would probably be either Motoro or Lewa.

 

4. Were there other factors contributing to you stoping posting stories on bioniclestory.com besides being so busy?

 

5. Who was your favorite character in BIONICLE that isn't a hero or a villain but kind of in the middle (like Hydraxon or a matoran) ?

 

6. How's life?

 

I hope you respond

1) "Agreement" doesn't really come into it. I work for LEGO Company - if they want me to work on it, then I will. If they don't, I won't.

2) I never saw a point in aging the story up to match the original fanbase, because the original fanbase had by and large aged out of buying sets. It would still be aimed at 9-11 year olds, like it always was.

 

3) Too many to list

 

4) Nope

 

5) I don't recall

@2

I bet many still would. Us fans of Bionicle are a devoted bunch.

I have a question for you. I'd like to know why you stopped Bionicle. It was a really good theme and was one of the best themes. In fact I am sitting next to someone who owns 100+ bionicle and was devastated to learn the the theme was discontinued and replaced. Did you stop it for story reasons or for market reasons?

---

I won't ask now. 

 

I have another question,

why is it that most of the story lines you make have a religious backround to them? 

 

---

Sorry, no idea what you're talking about. I don't do stories with religious themes.

---

Backrounds  . . . NOT themes. 

The background of Ninjago has some far eastern mysticism in it.  Because of the facts in it such as . . .

-When there is good there aways has to be evil, (That  is in the episode when Misako tells Lloyd and the other ninja the story of the overlord. - The first spinjitzu master created the world with 4 weapons . . .

Chima and Bionicle also have a backround to it all though I forgot what they are called.

You know that's right!

1. Would you be able to relay an idea of mine to LEGO execs?

2. Any info on Hero Factory 2014?

3. Could you tell me if Bulk will be the XL?

4. Regarding the Magnetism Matoran living with the Iron Matoran, you said they wouldn't last long like that. I thought that might be why there aren't to many seen. Anyway that's just an idea I had.

5. Are there more colors of Skakdi then the six seen?

Greg and whether you personally could already see how sets are longing for the LEGO ninjago 2014?

Greg you other you wrote that ninjago roku.To continued in 2014 will be a show why in plot 9 written books is he that history continues here and only here?

I rewrote the story, read it again, and you'll probably understant it:
Mask of Variation/Appearance: Whenever a Matoran transforms into a Toa by using a Toa stone, it will have the appearance that it believes a Toa should have. The Mask of Variation/Appearance enables a Toa that has started believing in other appearances a Toa could have, to change its current appearance as a Toa. However, the mask can’t change a Toa’s appearance as long as it believes its current appearance is the only appearance a Toa could have. A Toa Hordika, a Turaga and other changed Toa can be given a new appearance by changing the appearance the being had in its normal, pure Toa form. But it can't remove the mutations or make the being look like it isn't mutated at all. The mask can also change the appearance of masks (others and itself), as long as the wearer of the mask believes it still looks like an actual Kanohi mask. Please try again to answer my questions.

---

What benefit do you really get by looking like another type of Toa? It seems very specialized. I don't see how it would help in combat or to solve a Matoran problem, it seems like it's just about appearance.

---

Simple, you remember the Piraka made the Voya Nui Matoran believe they were Toa? If you would have given one of these Matoran a Toa Stone, it would have become a Toa that looks like a Skakdi! The Mask could make them look like actualy Toa, as soon as they've realized how a Toa really looks like. And a difference in appearance ranging from Toa Mata to Toa Metru to Toa Inika is indeed of combat importance! And like the mask of Charisma, you could use it for conviction and a better position.

*Begins foaming at the mouth from prolonged exposure to pure awesomeness, before finally stopping* 

Hey, Greg! I have to say, it's AWESOME to meet you! Now, I would get on about how cool it is to talk to you, but I'll just get to the point.

1. Did the skulkin make the Tower of Tears? After all, their original job was to imprison things worse than themselves (and the smoke creatures are potentially the most powerful beings in all of Ninjago). Plus, there were bones when Cardinsto disappeared, and Garms needed someone to destroy the ToT for him. And who else would be better than his servants, the very creators of it?

2. In Legends of Metru Nui, Teridax/Dume is seen talking to some dark figure at one point. Who is this figure? Eliminator? Antroz?

3. Would the Piraka's nicknames (the ones in the commercials, such as 'Tracer' or 'Trigger') be considered their Dark Hunter codenames?
