What was it about BIONICLE that particularly made it special to you?
Thank you, sir, for your time and all you have done.
Alright, so I've been a big fan of Bionicle since it started when I was 4 years old and got Matoro at McDonalds. I've read every Bionicle novel-in fact, I own every novel except Mask of Light, The Legend Reborn, Voyage of Fear and Maze of Shadows. I have every comic from September-October 2002 onward, and all the Papercutz graphic novels except Fall of Atero. I lost track of my sets after I bought Voporak...anyways...
I will try to ask questions you remember the answer to and hope no one else has asked before.
1. The Yesterday Quest featured a team of Toa whose elements were chosen by a contest. Did you have names for the other three Toa who haven't appeared yet, and can you remember what they were?
2. You never revealed The Shadowed One's name due to fan backlash at naming Teridax(Which I found silly-why not give The Makuta a name if you're about to introduce a dozen or so more of his species?). Now that 4 years have passed, could you maybe reveal his name, or is it too much of a sore spot? If it is, sorry for asking.
3. How many Great Beings are there, and what are their names? We know Angonce, Heremus and Velika, if that refreshes your memory.
4. Did the Makuta of Stelt have an official name?
5. Did any of the villains from previous years(Rhodaka, any Barraki, Kardas Dragon, Voporak, Sentrakh, etc.) die during the exodus out of the Great Spirit Robot?
That's all I can think of. Have a nice day!

Kopaka and Teridax.
Amen. Good picks-then again, you would know a LOT about their awesomeness.
Who is your favorite...
Barraki?
Piraka?
Visorak?
Vahki?
Toa Inika/Mahri?
Toa Mangai?
Toa Metru?
Bohrok, Bohrok Va or Bohrok-Kal?
Titan?
Matoran?
Turaga?
Rahi?
Rahski?
Order of Mata Nui agent?
Now, here's one that might take some time for you to answer. Who is your favorite character or Rahi created by a fan for a contest?
ScribeGT6817 wrote:
1) No, Matoro died. 2) Mata Nui never was a Great Being. Mata Nui is a robot. 3) Same reason any other couple likes each other, I guess. But don't be too sure they will end up together
Reading the last answer made me furiously search this forum for that specific post.
Alright, so when Bionicle started, Hewkii and Macku(Who, as I recall, were named Huki and Maku back then...) had some...feelings for each other. Then there were hints of Jaller and Hahli liking each other, then the subject was dropped. What happened there, simply a path LEGO cared less about I suppose?
Also, any advice on teenage girls? There's this girl and my church, and she's very pretty...
Wow. greg farstey.
My question is: do you have any building advice for Bionicle fans?
Also: when will hero factory end?
May you have the best of luck in your further projects/products.
with best wishes,

I have access to images of all the 2014 sets for all lines. I have to, to do my job, since we are starting work on the January 2014 issues of LEGO Club Magazine is about six weeks.
Sounds like fun!
Can you include a poster in one of the LEGO magazines next year with Bulk(Or any other hero if Bulk isn't a set next year) that shows him in a cool pose and says something like," Bulk Approves Of Heroism" or something crazy like that? I always enjoyed the crazy things in LEGO Magazines...

Question: I Love the story in Bionicle, But Ninjago really did not have much of a Story, Any reason why?
What I have to say: I love Writing myself, And so it is Great to be able to have a Moment and a Question Awnsered by you.
I disagree. I think Ninjago has as much story as it needs. Not everything has to be deep and complex and require total immersion to understand, just as not every book needs to be War and Peace.
Have you read War and Peace? I'm going to read it at some point, and I'm running out of really dumb questions.

Do you find it weird that Kai means water in Japanese?Not really, no. Proper names are usually not trademarked, and as long as it doesn't mean something offensive, we can use it. It is really hard coming up with character names that don't already belong to somebody else.|||
_______________________________________________ I meant it's weird because Kai's element is fire and his name in Japenese means water.My first thought was Kai the fisherwoman in MNOGII.
I knew I wasn't the only one...

This is my first day hearing of Greg. So please excuse my ignorance. But I have some questions for you Greg.
1. Can you give us some tips on how to write good stories?
2. Will there be anymore Ninjago sets? Episodes maybe?
3. This is the last one, when will Chima ONLINE open beta come out?1) One of the important things is to treat your characters as real people, in a way. If you try to force them to do things in your story that they wouldn't normally do, then it becomes hard to write, because they stop being predictable. And predicting what they do next is part of your job as a writer.
2) Yes and yes.
3) Don't know
I have a couple more questions.
1. Why is your username ScribeGT6817
2. When will the new sets and episodes come out?
3. How did you become involved with LEGO?
1) Because it is.
2) 2014
3) Answered an ad
Just one more Greg.
Are you as excited as I am to see The LEGO Movie?

I like your stories very much and so do my brothers (All 3 of them) they have great plot detail and wonderfully portray the characters emotions. And still I have notices 1 problem with your novels: They have no flow. Like they were written by someone who was more used to writing thing such as text books, or encyclopedias. Not a HUGE problem, in fact quite minor, just wanted to point that out, still great books.
Actually, that is partially what I like about them.
Alright, so what's up with your post here on page 45 that has no text? I gave it a Like because I thought it was funny, and I like funny posts. I am curious what it was though.

Do you also like the movie?
