That's an easy one. The logical year to do a Toa Mata movie would have been 2001, since that was when the story really focused on them. But that was the first year of BIONICLE, which would have meant a studio would have had to start working on the film sometime in 1999 or 2000. No studio was going to commit to that for a line no one knew would sell or not. Even LEGO was originally planning for BIONICLE to be a one-year line if it didn't do well. That's the same reason you didn't have books out in 2001. |

Nicholas6 | 2013-12-06 22:13 UTC–5 PermalinkHey Greg, do the sets get made first, or the story? I have always wondered. |

Have I ever told you how awesome you are? |
acidicus24 | 2013-12-07 04:52 UTC–5 PermalinkGreg what would you like to get for Christmas? |
acidicus24 | 2013-12-07 04:53 UTC–5 PermalinkGreg as happening in night of nindroids? |
sepublic22 | 2013-12-07 10:59 UTC–5 PermalinkNow that the Barraki (minus Carapar) are back to their original forms, will their rahi armies still recognize them? And if so, would they still serve them, or just abandon the warlords, maybe even rebel, kind of like Takadox's vision Teridax gave him? |
fishers64 | 2013-12-07 13:56 UTC–5 PermalinkSorry to bug you again but something came up on BZP.
1. Why wasn't alternate Tuyet's dead body (the decoy that Helryx left in the pit) teleported up to the Red Star? How did Teridax (in Maxilos) know that the corpse was still around and not teleported away? |

Also, how come Eliminator didn't help Nidhiki and Krekka in Metru Nui? Was he called to another mission? And finally, does Johmak's species' ability have any connection to Zaktan's mutations prior to being split into protodites? |
fighterlord | 2013-12-08 17:53 UTC–5 PermalinkHow come there was not a movie in 2006 following the 2005, '04 and '03 films? Could the Mask of Elemental Energy (which is one-use due to the use-up of all its energy) be recharged with Toa Power? Because after the mask is used, it becomes powerless like a Matoran Mask, and Matoran Masks can be turned into Great Masks with Toa Energy. If you were able to, what 5 LEGO themes would you create, that had never been done before by LEGO? |

thats to bad! they were so cool too! |

Because the Red Star doesn't take beings outside the robot, bio-mechanical or not. |

And because RS cannot teleport beings across dimensions. Since fake Tuyet is from another dimension she would be teleported by its RS |
Paploo2 | 2013-12-09 14:30 UTC–5 PermalinkHey Greg, I know you may have been asked this already, but if matoro had the mask of re-animation, why didn't he just re-animate Mata-nui long enough to get him the mask or something? |

In general, sets come first. The designers will usually get a general guideline, like that all the characters live underwater or something, but the real concrete details of story often do not get worked out until sets are initially designed. There isn't really another way to do it -- if you craft a story, but then the set designs that go with it don't get approved, you have to start over. This way, you wait until you have solid sets before you invest time in story. |
