6.Greg for every worker of the LEGO factory is 2014 allowed to examine sets?
7.Greg whether turned up at some of your novels first spinjitzu master?
1) Because there is no news. The sets for this year are out already and it's too eary to talk about next year.
2-3) You'll find out when you read the book
4) Book 9 is a 2014 book, yes
5) Probably because art did not exist yet. The script gets done first.
6) No. As I mentioned, we keep the new sets in a showroom and only a small number of people (in the US, at least) -- I would say less than 20 out of almost 2000 employees -- is allowed in there. The other people who get in there are buyers from stores like Target or Wal-Mart who need to see the sets before they place their orders for the store. Of the people who are allowed in, no one is allowed to take any pictures of anything.
7) No. I have not dealt with that at all in my books.

1) Story team created it based on what the set designers had come up with.
2) Yes
@1) I was asking as in the story. Did the Great Beings come up with it in the story?
@2) Okay. If there weren't, then the Golden Armor couldn't have been planned for.
1) Yes

I have so many Q's for you!
What inspired you to create the LEGO Bionicle series?
Who is you favoured LEGO Bionicle character?
WHY AM I NOT SEEING YOU MAKING MORE EPISODES!!!!
1) I didn't create it. BIONICLE had been created before I joined the company.
2) Kopaka
3) No time, and LEGO needs me focused on active lines, not cancelled ones.
Tell me greg, what is your favorite bionicle book/graphic novel?

We didn't. We had new sets in 2007, 2008, and 2009, including the Mahri, the Brotherhood of the Makuta, and the Glatorian.
No, I was talking about new types of build, mechanisms like in Toa Mata or Toa Metru. You stopped at Inika build.

I'm super sorry I am wasting your time. I was writing some stuff convincing you to tell me, but now I undersand how you feel. I'm sorry about doing all this stuff. I'll just do some more research and come up with conclusions. These are some.
- Nindroids taking role 100%
- Zane being hacked 90%
- Set names real 95%
- Rip-corded spinners 3%
- Japanese PWR brands 1%
- Ninjago returning in December 85%
- Ninjago Movie coming 2015 95%
- Doomsday Devices 70%
I'm having a problem. In my new school, when I told my friends that I am Ninjago's biggest fan, they wouldn't believe me, just because I don't have all the Ninjago stuff. Dude, There are 83 of them! Plus, a person chould have all 83 and not even know a thing about the ninjas. I'm like a ninja encyclopedia. I'm keeping track of everything Ninjago. Since you work for the LEGO Group. Can you PLEASE write something dubbing me "Ninjago's biggest fan". (Please don't say no to that.)

2. When Samukai was destroyed by the Golden Weapons, was his soul obliterated as well, or just his physical form? And if the latter, would his soul be in the dimension Garmadon went to?
3. How come we haven't seen any other XT4 drones outside of Legion of Darkness? Is it because, that due to the incident involving the more infamous one, Makuro was forced to stop production of them?
4. Is the Arachnix Drone a prototype of the Brain creatures from Brain Attack? Also, when the Drone splits into more versions of itself, is its power halved as well?
1) No idea, never played it
2) I try to avoid getting into discussions about souls because it leads to too much religious debate.
3) Or simply that they have not played any significant role in story so no need to show them.
4) I wish I could answer that, but since I do not know who created the brains (the HF story team does, but I don't), I don't know if the drone is related in any way.
@1: Basically, the plot is more or less the same as the actual storyline, but most of the levels are sidestories or happen in between events.
Greg I have a question for you. If you ever got to create a theme for LEGO what would the story be?
I have question, in ninjago, is "boarding school for bad boys" run by bad guys? Or is it to teach the boys to be good?
ninjay25 wrote:I have question, in ninjago, is "boarding school for bad boys" run by bad guys? Or is it to teach the boys to be good?
Darkly's used to be a school, where bad guys taught kids to become bad, but it later became a normal boarding school.
And I have the book Rahi Beasts, the descriptions for each beast were awesome, I remember pouring over them!!!!!! Your descriptions were so awesome I felt that they were real!!!! You are one of the best authors out there! Keep writing!
Hi Mr. Farshtey, I've got a couple questions today, but I'll try to keep it brief 
.
1. Earlier in this topic you stated that you pitched some ideas for the replacement of Bionicle that weren't picked up. I'd be very interested in hearing what they were, if possible.
2. It's closing in on four years since Bionicle ended and there still appears to be quite a vocal and passionate community dedicated to Bionicle, going as far as making petitions and otherwise doing what they can to get it back. I was curious as to how much the LEGO company has noticed this, and if it has made any sort of a noticeable difference to you. I apologize if this is a difficult question to answer, and understand if it's one your bosses would rather you not answer. I'm not asking if it's coming back, I'm just curious as to how much impact fan support has had on the subject since the theme's end.
Thanks for answering our questions, and writing such enjoyable comics and books,
Jts21
Hey, Mr. Farshtey; I'd like to preface my question by saying that I'm very glad you've returned to the community in this form. Your absence on BZPower has definitely been felt over the course of the last year, but it's very kind of you to still seek to enrich the community in some way, even if it's not through BZP. Plus, it can't hurt to have some new perspectives; BZP could be very... interesting at times.
I have two questions, and I apologize if they have already been asked before.
1. While I understand many of the story details that people are curious about as far as BIONICLE is concerned simply don't exist, since you never planned that far ahead. However, there is one thing which you may know; Takanuva's destiny. Could you enlighten us as to the plan for that particular piece of story?
2. Conceptually, which theme do you prefer - Legends of Chima or Ninjago?
Thanks for your time,
Mesonak
