Dear Mr Farshtey,

 

I would like to just say thank you and Chris Faber for all you've done for my childhood. I remember my first two sets being Toa Hordika Vakama and Nuju, as well as many others that soon followed. You have been one of my greatest influences on my upbringing, and I'm just so excited that one of my most dearly loved LEGO themes is being brought back. I just have two questions: Do you know how the mask pieces are going to attach? This is a pretty big one since the reveal on facebook with the Mask of Creation, and I was wondering how it might affect MOCing in the future. Second of all, whether it's a reboot or continuation, will we see the rerelease of more characters? I would love a proper 6 or 8 legged Fenrakk. That'd be pretty sweet. It's one of my favorite sets ever! Once again, thank you so much for all you've done for my childhood whether it's the movies, comics, novels, or online serials you've written. Thank you.

 

Sincerely,

legodino500

1) No, I don't. I have seen models in the showroom but we won't have models we can build  until probably January.

2) I tend to doubt it. I don't think the plan is to  mine old story for sets.

1. Did Solek always wear a Akaku, or did he began to wear it after he heard the legend of Kopaka blah blah, like how he changed his armor color to white because of how he admired Kopaka.

 

2. Does Christian Faber have a greater role in the story of BIONICLE 2015 than you?

 

---

1) He always wore it

2) I have no idea. I don't know to what extent Christian has played a role in things, only that he has played some role.

Lhikan gave Vakama his mask as he was dying, and was then transported to the Red Star. This is rather trivial, but it's been bugging me for a while. What mask does he have on the Red Star now, or has he been given one, or what?

---

He would have been given the same mask he had before.

Hey Greg, how dark or light-hearted will the new story be tone-wise? And will the story have more mature/diverse themes, or will it stick to the usual themes of Unity, Duty and Destiny? Also, do you think it will be enjoyable for the line's older fans?

---

I really cannot speak to this, but I can tell you that the target audience for BIONICLE -- 8+ year olds -- has not changed from what it was originally, so I don't think they are going to go for more mature themes.

So is Bionicle 2015 going to have any story at all? If so, can you tell us what medium it uses primarily? Web Serials? Web videos? A game? Or are the books the main thing?

---

Yes, it does have a story. As for how it will be executed, that is something you will have to wait and see as it develops.

So how do you feel, that what you created(I think?) was so popular it returned from retirement?

---

I didn't create BIONICLE, it was created before I came to work here. While it good to see it back, the real test will be how fans receive it, whether the sets sell, etc.

Hey Greg, is it possible for us to get a Bionicle TV show/ movie with Bionicle 2015 happening?

---

Anything is possible, but it will really depend on how the sets sell.

---

Does this mean there is not a TV special or movie already in development or complete?

---

Not that I have been told about. Remember, first time around, it was two years into the franchise before the first movie came out.

Hey again, Greg!  How did you feel when you were told that the theme that you put soooo much work into was being revived?  I'm assuming that you were pretty excited!

 

Also, have you seen the set pictures?

 

Do you have any information on what kind of books will be published?  Readers, novels, graphic novels, etc.?

 

Thanks for your time!

---

1) i have seen the first half year sets, not the second half year yet.

2) No,  I don't.

Heya Greg, thanks for taking time to answer all these fan questions.

 

I've been wondering about this for a while, was there ever a story reason for what's up with Lhikan's Hau? If he's native to Metru-Nui, why did it look different from the rest?, was it a stylistic choice, ceremonial or some other reason?

---

It was a set designer decision, probably so people would not confuse him with Tahu. Remember, not everyone buying sets was following story, too.

(1) Will you ever reveal The Shadowed One's real name? I really doubt that we will be seeing him again, so maybe you should finally reveal his true name?

(2) Do you think old fans would enjoy the new story?

---

1) Nope

2) There is no way for me to predict that. I am also wonderiing  if old fans will buy sets.

So, All the story revealing and set revealing beside. What do YOU think of the sets and the story?
Do you like the way it is? or would you like to change some things?

---

Tahu,

I understand the reason for the question, but keep in mind that I work for LEGO Company. So asking my personal opinion of stuff we are releasing is sort of a waste of time, since I support whatever we do.
