End LEGO Chima Petition and the End the 'End LEGO Chima Petition' Petition.  But I'm sure you'll just say something along the lines of 'Petitions never work'.

---

Put simply, I would assume that someone who does not like Chima (and so signs a petition against it) would not be buying the sets. If the sets don't sell, the line eventually gets cancelled. If lots of people sign a petition,  but lots more buy the sets (as seems to be the case now with Chima, since the TV series started being on regularly) then the line does not get cancelled.

As I have said before, it is not about petitions -- LEGO Company is a business, it is about set sales.

 

Given that a lot of the hostility against Chima was because it was perceived as replacing Ninjago -- and Ninjago is not only not being replaced, but Time magazine last week talked about a Ninjago movie for 2015 -- I see no point in hating on Chima. If you don't like it, just don't buy it. Nobody expects you to like every LEGO line or want to purchase sets from every LEGO line. Buy what you like, don't buy what you don't.

 

As for the petition to end another petition, that is something you should probably talk to White Alligator about. I am not a moderator, so I have no say on what topics/petitions get closed.

Also didn't you say that if you don't like it don't buy it if you take the taste out of people than you're wrong. What about that part?

---

I don't understand your comment. Who is talking about taking the taste out of people? If you don't like something, you don't spend your money on it -- that applies to toys, movies, food, and anything else you might spend your money on. That is ABOUT your personal taste. And sales is how companies make decisions, in general, not petitions.

Hey Greg, I've got a couple of important questions;

 

Firstly, If Botar has the power of teleportation, then how come he didn't just teleport off the red star when he died?

 

Secondly; Who ate all the pies?

Just bumpin' this, not sure if you saw it Greg

1) Could have been a range issue, but more likely, the fact that returnees on the red star seem to be pretty disoriented. So he may not have felt confident about making that long a jump without being able to see where he was teleporting to -- and he couldn't do it as a series of short jumps.

2) Not me, I'm diabetic

I have a few questions, Greg:

 

1. The surviving Barraki, after they emigrated onto Spherus Magna, had their mutations reversed by the Mask of Life and so can breathe air. Now that they are free and on the move, what would you expect them to do?

 

2. When you come up with characters for your stories, do you often take inspiration from people that you know in real life? I've modeled characters in some of my own fiction after real people - do you do this, or do you tend to start from scratch?

 

3. You've said that your favorite Bionicle book was Time Trap. I enjoyed it a lot myself - why exactly did you enjoy writing it? Was it because it had so many great characters at once? (Vakama, Teridax, TSO...)

 

 

By the way, I read Bionicle Legends #3: Power Play recently. I think it might just be my favorite Bionicle book so far, along with Time Trap. Thanks for doing such a great job!

---

1) I would expect them to continue to be major pains in the neck.

2) No, not in general. I've tried to do that sometimes, but then if you aren't still friends with the person when the book comes out, it gets awkward.

3) Actually, it was because (in part) it had so few characters. With the comics, especially, I had to cram so many characters and sets in that it could get in the way of the story. TT was a clean story, plus it gave me the chance to do Makuta the way I wanted to.

Can Bionicle's cry?

Not that we have ever seen. I would assume they have a lubrication system of some sort, but I see no reason it would be connected to emotions since they were not intended by their designers to have those kind of emotions.

do you think if LEGO gets enough requests they will bring back bionicle? and what is your favorite toa? mine is toa mata nui! and do you think that LEGO should bring back LEGO bionicle? since half the people on here would probably buy them for 2 times the original price! and do you want bionicle brought back? if you don't want it back, then i'll be ready to slap you.

Kopaka.

I think LEGO already knows a lot of people want it back. And yes, I would like it back if we do it right -- I think we all agree that if it came back and it wasn't as good as the original, it would be a disappointment. As to whether it will ever come back, well, the option always exists and LEGO Company has been known to bring back old themes now and again. But I don't have any hard information that it's coming back.

Kopaka, Matoro, I didn't really have a favorite Metru, and as for the villains, too long ago for me to remember who I liked writing for best. As for sets, I don't really have preferences -- I always paid more attention to their characters than how they looked.
