Mr. Farshtey:

 

Toa Helryx wears the Great Mask of Psychometry, which allows her to learn details about the past of an object by making physical contact with it. Does this also work on lands masses? For example, if Helryx wanted to learn details about the past of a certain island, could she touch it, activate her mask, and receive details about it like she would about an object?

  Also, does this mask work on really big things like the Mata Nui Robot?

Hi Mr. Farshtey!!!Happy

 

First of all, I would like to tell you that you did a great job with BIONICLE. It has a really awesome storyline! Second, there are a few questions that I would like to know the answers to:

 

1. I don't know if anyone has asked this before, but what happened to Ahkmou?

2. How did the Toa Mahri end up breathing normal air?

3. What happened to Hydraxon, and does he still remember his life as Dekar?

4. Did Toa Jaller leave his hahnah crab in Mahri Nui?

5. Who went to Spherus Magna in the Makuta robot, and who didn't?

 

Thanks so much for taking time to answer everyone's questions!Happy Also, is there any way to find out how the BIONICLE story ended? I never found out.Sad Thanks again!Thumbs up

Hey Greg, was Mazeka recruited by the Order of Mata Nui before, during, or after 2006 storyline?

Buried


I can answer this one. Mazeka was recruited about five years before the present, so he would have been in the Order before even the 2001 storyline.


Thanks for answering.

Hello, Mr. Farshtey, I have a question. In bionicle, are the toa capable of manipulating their elements on a molecular level?
For example, a toa of water changing the density of water to make ice.

Do resent the fact that you are not a part of the new Bionicle storyline?

 

Is there any correlation between the Kanohi Olmak (the mask of dimensional ates that Brutaka wore) and the 2015 Mask of Control? Becaue they have a similar appearance.

I'm not sure you're the right person to ask, but I was recommended to try.

Hey Greg, In the 2004 storyline, did Vakama and the other Turaga tell the Toa Nuva and Matoran about their past adventures in Metru Nui, before or after they all sailed to Metru Nui?

Favorite LEGO book was probably Time Trap.

Favorite non-LEGO book would have been Hell's Feast.

1) Well, let me tell you a story. Earlier this year, I got contacted by an agent about possibly working on a children's book series they had on their plate. They were really nice and in a big hurry and I had to rush them off writing samples, etc. (this was not a LEGO project). As it turned out, they chose someone else for the project. And it was disappointing, but I wasn't angry at them. It's part of being a writer -- if you can't take rejection, this isn't the business to be in.

And the thing is, it IS a business. The people who decide who works on what, anywhere, are going to decide based on what they think is best today for what they are doing. It's not based on what you did before. So while it can be disappointing to not get to work on something you want to, you have to be a professional about it and accept that the decision-makers have their reasons.

 

2) I can't speak to anything related to new BIONICLE, because I am not involved in it. So if there is a connection, I would not know about it.

No. If we did that, we would not, for example, need a Toa of Ice.

1) Declining set sales. If the sets don't sell, it doesn't matter how much story we have or want to tell.

2) The Bohrok existed to clean off the face of Mata Nui prior to launch.

 

3) As long as LEGO Company owns the line and the trademarks, anything is possible.

 

4) No.

 

5) They are on Spherus Magna now

 

6) They are on Spherus Magna too

 

7) Individuals

 

8) No, I have nothing to do with it

 

9) Nothing happened to it.

 

10) No. Makuta was created by Mata Nui

 

11) The GBs aren't very popular on Spherus Magna. A lot of people blame them for not stopping the war and preventing the planet shattering.
