Did you play LEGO Universe at all? Are you playing the new Minifigures MMOG?
Hey Greg,
Just a quick question, if Bionicle came back, would the story serials be finished?
Hi Greg ! I was wondering something about Hero Factory Brain Attack :
Are the Brains purely organic, purely mechanic, or both ? As parasites, it'd be more logical to think that they are organic, but in the TV episode, Surge is infected at some point, even though he's a robot. So how those brains work ? And who created them ?
I have a couple more questions.
1. What species are The Great Beings?
2.Why does the Mask of Light change from gold to silver?(2003 to 2010)
3.Why was the stone element's color changed from brown to orange,yellow, and grey in 2006?
4.Were there only six Bohrok-Kal?
5.Can any being become a Toa or just Matoran?
6.Can you tell us anything about the cancelled comic Power of the Great Beings?
Thank You

I have a couple questions about Velika that came to me.
1) Is Velika still in his Po-Matoran body? Does he still have his Power Carver Tools?
2) Because Velika wasn't actually a Po-Matoran, does he not posess the miniscule elemental abilities of Stone (that is, he is stronger than other types of Matoran)?
1) Yes
2) Well, being stronger is a physical attribute, not a mental one ... and he has the body of a Po-Matoran ... so if a Po-Matoran's body is stronger than those of other Matoran, then he would be stronger as well, right?
2) Ah, I see. I wasn't sure if the being stronger attribute was connected to the body by default.
Hello! I think, this question was buried (again). Sorry, if I'm annoying you.
In “Brothers In Arms”, it is mentioned that Mazeka had a mentor with whom he was doing research with on the “origin of all things”. The mentor later was killed by Vultraz.
1. Has the mentor been a Ko-Matoran like Mazeka?
2. If he had a different element, could you specify, which one?
Thank you for your time!
Hello, Greg. I have a string of questions here. Please feel free to not answer any that you wish- I don't want to get you into troboule or anything. 
1. I have heard rumors that Bionicle is coming back- do you know where these started?
2. Why has your answer that Bionicle isn't coming back changed to one that you aren't able to discuss it?
3. If Bionicle were to come back, when would we (the fans) be notified by LEGO.
4. If Bionicle were to come back, would it follow the same storyline as before?
5. If Bionicle were to come back, would you still have a role in the story?
6. If Bionicle were to come back, would the bi-monthly comics resume?
7. Has your job been easier without all the stuff to write for Bionicle?
Again, feel free to decline to answer any of the above. Thanks.

No, no time.

No idea. If it were up to me, BIONICLE would not come back by picking up the old story, but as something new (a reboot or something else like that). As someone else pointed out in one of the threads, the original BIONICLE audience is mostly in high school and college now, and to succeed, the line is going to have to appeal to today's 8 and 9 and 10 and 11 year olds, who know nothing about it. So picking up old story and forcing them to have to go back and do all that research to know what is going on probably wouldn't be a good strategy.

1) No
2) I was asked specifically about images of sets which people have said are leaked or could be leaked. And I have answered that I cannot discuss anything to do with anything might be leaked. IF BIONICLE, or PotC, or Space Police, or Power Miners, or any other line was coming back in 2015 or 2016 or whatever, I would not be allowed to discuss it even to say no, it's not, because it has to do with future product plans. I can't discuss anything having to do with future plans until official announcements get made by LEGO.
3) No idea, that would not be up to me.
4) If it were my decision to make, no. The old story is great, and it's vast, and it's complex, and very few kids in the 8-11 age group the sets would have to sell to knows much of anything about it. Expecting them to study up on 9 years of story to be able to play with the sets is asking a lot.
5) Again, no idea. I work for LEGO and i do what they ask me to do and what's needed.
6) That would depend on what the marketing budget was. The comics were really, really expensive to do, and a decision could get made that the money could be better spent elsewhere.
7) My main job is the same as it always was. Most of my BIONICLE work was done at home, not at work.

Okay, thanks.
4) If it were up to you, would the main concept still remain (Toa, Glatorian, etc...)?
5) But would that be a possibility? LEGO has continued to include pull-out comics (or something like that) since Bionicle ended (and I have to say, they've felt like a third wheel for a while...)
Hi, Greg! Were you surprised to see that most every question, with the exception of Ninjage spoiler requests, was about Bionicle? Were you expecting that?

What if there was a way to market the story to the original fan group? No idea how to do that, considering most/all wouldn't buy the sets, but...
I think the ideal situation for bionicle coming back would be to make a "sequel series", kinda like what "legend of korra" is to "avatar: the last airbender". (have you heard of those, greg?) Legend of korra is set in the future of the old series, so the old fans (who, if bionicle comes back, will mostly still want to keep up with the story) can have an interest in it, and also set far enough in the future that the new fans don't have to read up on all the old lore in order to enjoy the new story. While knowing the lore of the first series is helpful, it's certainly not necessary.
Your thoughts?

That's not really what I meant. I understand that all old Bionicle fans are almost adults now, and LEGO needs to focus on the younger audience, however the unfinished stories could still be updated on an website or something like that for the people who are still interested in them, and they don't really need to be connected with the "main" story line made for the new Bionicle series. It would be a shame to left those old stories unfinished and start new ones (I believe that Jaller said something like that to Takua in the "Mask of Light" movie ;p)
Do you like zombies?
