I remember over 10 years ago reading the first Bionicle comic..... Man that's a good memory. I thought it was awesome. It's what got me into writing/drawing comics, and I also remember going to the store to buy Tahu.
Thanks for making me a LEGO nut.
Oh and question: Have any of your stories/ideas ever been rejected by LEGO? If so, what reason?
Not that I recall, no. Being a LEGO employee, I pretty much know what I am and am not allowed to do.
Thanks!
Another question: Did you do any writing work for other things before LEGO?
Oh my goodness! 
This is so cool! 
Mr. Farshtey, I have some questions for you, and hopefully no one has asked them yet.
1. What was your inspiration for Bionicle and NInjago?
2. Who is your favorite villain from Bionicle?
3. Who is your favorite ninja from Ninjago?
4. Can you give us any tips as a writer?
Thanks for your time!

I don't write for the TV series, so I can't answer this.
Fine by me! Least I got to chat with the guy who helped create Bionicle!

Was Ehlek mutated in the Black Waters?
Why didn't he just return to the surface, using the breathing apparatus he already had?
I have to say, and I know this will be a disappointment, but detailed questions on BIONICLE story are going to be a challenge for me to answer. It has been about three or four years since I was writing BIONICLE every day, and a lot has happened since then, so I do not recall a lot of this stuff now. I haven't been immersed in it in ages.
That's okay.
Yeah, you don't re-read everything every couple years- Bionacle isn't your job anymore.
The answer is probably "Then there wouldn't be six Barraki". 
thanks greg. Perhaps someday they might come back.......?

eBay maybe
And Amazon. I've looked. I still need to get some.

I hope he is, because then he can take over Marendar!

Well?
Ninjago 7 is out, Pac. So you can either get it and read it or you can read the blurb on Amazon to find out the plot.

Since I am a nerd when it comes to these things, if you could see any of the BIONICLE books made into a movie/tv show, which one would you pick, and why?
Oh, wow, that's a hard one. Voyage of Fear maybe, it had a lot of action in it.

Just a quick question: If you could jump back in time for maybe a week or so to relive some of the glory days of Bionicle, would you do it?
Yes. Specifically, I would go back to 2002 when I did the comic signing at Toys R Us in NYC. I was with the artists who worked on the comic and Marty Pasko, my editor at the time, and we had a really good time -- about 1200 fans showed up.

Yes. I wrote for West End Games for seven years before LEGO -- I did three novels and a bunch of game books.

I just finnished reading that book yesterday. It is EPIC! That is also my favorite book from Hero Factory. 
Is another Secret Mission book in the making? Or is the next one going to be for the 2014 story?
