mr. Farshtey the questions i have for you are:
- what things from the real world influenced parts of the bionicle story. i think one thing that seemed to me to be a model for the glatorian is the Roman empire.
- since the bionicle planet is seperated would it be possible to put the planet back together again?
- since the bionicle planet is seperated would it be possible to put the planet back together again?
- if two is no, is it possible to travel from one chunk of the planet to another?
- are there toa of magnitisim or did they go extinct like the iron tribe?
- while you where making the bionicle story did you ever think to make the skrall good guys?
- what things helped you create such an awesome story as bionicle?
- which type of bionicle did you like better the minifigure type or the normal type?
- if you were to create the bionicle story all over again what would you change?
- there is alot of rumors involving bionicle in 2015. if this were to happen how would you design the characters pieces to be like?would it be like HF,the orignal bionicle,a mixture of both,or something different ?
- i know this is a lot of questions but i want have the best answers on the subject and since you created bionicle you know the most about it .
1. Are genders in the bionicle universe strictly based off of elements? (What I mean is, are all Matoran/Turaga/Toa in Ga-koro female, for example.)
2.What would you say the technology-biology ratio would be for matoran? What about Agori?
thank you for your time.
Greg-
Would it be possible for anyone to write with the LEGO company? And or give them ideas to publish?
And also- How did you get your job in the first place?
Hi Greg, I have a few questions I would like to ask about the various species of Spherus Magna.
1) Is it possible there are more leader class Skrall on Bota Magna?
2) Were the Vorox and Zesk of Bota Magna modified by the Great Beings like the Bara Magna ones?
3) Is it correct saying that the distant ancestors of the Skrall were once of the Glatorian species?
4) Are there any slight biological differences between Agori and Glatorian of different tribes?
5) Was Gresh a child during the Core War or was he ?
5a) How long ago do you think he started fighting in the arena?
6) Were all of the Agori we met in '09 around during the War? I think I remember one (possibly Kyry) was referred to a youth in a book, but since their lifespans are so long it doesn't confirm anything.
7) Were Agori (and Glatorian) born after the Shattering still given implants?
and two others:
8) How long do you think the Core War lasted for?
9) Around how long did it take to construct the Great Spirit robot?
Thanks!

I am not sure you can say the other Toa necessarily evolved, because their designers were not around to do that. I think it had more to do with how Matoran thought of Toa and the impact that had on their transformations.
Thanks so much for answering 
One other absolutely important question: did the Toa Metru wear the EXACT same Great Mask when they were matoran?
In other words, a MOC with Nuhrii's body but wearing a Great Huna instead, would be a canonical depiction of Matoran Vakama?

1) LEGO Club sometimes, though rarely, employs freelance writers for the magazines and website. As far as I know, we do not accept unsolicited story ideas from outside the company.
2) I answered an ad on a jobs site.

1. What is non-GB Velika like? His personality and quirks and such?
2. Is this to say that Main universe GB Velika's 'awakening' spread to EVERY universe?
3. If the answer to 2 is no, then how did the Kingdom Alternate Universe - and any other universes where Velika is not a Great Being - have Matoran, Toa etc. develop free will and autonomous feelings?
4. Do Great Beings even have alternate dimension counterparts? e.g. does the Angonce we know have a counterpart in the Kingdom, Dark Mirror, etc. etc. universes?
5. If the Great Beings do not have counterparts, does this mean they created all the alternate universes?
1) Unknown, since I never really wrote about him much
2) No. In that universe, the GBs programmed their creations to be like that from the start.
4) It's certainly possible
5) Alternate universes are created automatically when decisions are made. Under this theory, if you decided to go plau basketball today, well, your life might be changed forever. You might gain something incredible, or lose out on something great because you weren't home. So an alternate universe gets created in which you decided NOT to go play basketball. When we use them in fiction, it is usually some dramatic, pivotal event that went a different way and that is when the alt. universe split off from the main one.

2) Also: When did Skralls find their Weapon? Was it before or after the Shattering?
3) Tell me about Annona's species. How did she come to Spherus Magna? Was she teleported from another planet or mutated by Energized Protodermis? Personally I see her species as "alien invaders", that teleport from planet to planet and consume dreams of their inhabitants.
4) What happened to Vultraz? We remember, that he was captured by Great Beings from Alternate Universe. Did they removed Shadow and turn him back into Ta-Matoran?
5) Great Spirit Robot is taken apart. But what happened to Matoran Universe islands? Were they brought to Aqua Magna?
6) Are there any unknown pocket dimensions?
7) Are there any negative effects of Elemental Powers on the body of the user?
8) What is the destructive capacity of the Makuta? Can he (or she) destroy the whole island? About Kraata powers: almost every 6th grade kraata were described as they can easily avoid any actions from Toa Nuva and even defeat them without much effort (for example, it's said 6-7th grade Kraata with "dodge" ability for sure can dodge accelerated Pohatu Nuva). If that is true, how they hadn't destroyed whole MU already?
1) Unknown
2) Again, unknown
3) I did not do a backstory for her, so none of this info exists.
4) The GBs were not interested in redeeming him, so no.
5) The islands were all part of the robot, Eddy. So those parts are being used as well.
6) Sure
7) Not that I know of
8) What island? The island of Mata Nui is the robot's face, why would Makuta want to destroy it? Same as your second question - the kraata have no reason to destroy the MU. Makuta wanted to rule the MU, not destroy it.
Which Toa have more control over metal? Toa of Iron, or Toa of Magnetism?
Has Gaardus died? That would explain how he managed to get to the Red Star, and then he probably teleported back?

Cooooool!
What was your favorite book to write yet?
I like the ninjago novels!!
YAY I AM ACTUALLY TALKING TO GREG FARHESTEY!!!!!!!!!!!
GOTTA MARK THIS OFF MY BUCKET LIST!!
Why exactly did the Great Beings program the MU Inhabitants with Autonomy, psychological development etc. in some universes like Kingdom? For that matter why didn't they do so in the main universe?
Are there circumstances when a Toa could train a matoran?
