Hi, I was wondering if you could tell us a bit more about that cancelled Bionicle 2001 game by Saffire. Why was the GBA game not cancelled but the PC one was? Earlier you mentioned that the guy who worked at LEGO who was involved in the game left in 2005. What exactly was his involvement in the development? Also, what was the specific reason for cancelation? I have seen reasons range from combatability with the prevalent CPU's of the day to 9/11.

The guy I was talking about was sort of a liaison with the game developers from the LEGO side of things. The only thing I ever heard as far as a reason for the cancellation was that the game was not of the quality LEGO wanted. Beyond that, I don't know.

1) The last three sets I built are the Scooby Doo Mystery Mansion, the SHIELD Helicarrier and London Bridge.
2) Classic BIONICLE would never be in the game, because it's not a current line and because introducing buildable action figures into the game would mess up the scale. It's designed to be a minifigures-only game.






























1.) Thanks, Greg.

2.) But hypothetically, what if in the future LEGO Dimensions had some packs about classic LEGO Themes and they made more Minifigures like from Bionicle 2006-2007 or Hero Factory Invasion from below?

Sorry to be a pain, but the impression I got is no one much liked the minifigures from those lines, plus they looked nothing like standard minifigures. So I really can't see it happening. Why use Dimensions to promote themes that no longer exist?

Dear Greg,

     1. Would a Toa of Plasma be able to re-create the effects of the Kanohi Hau, but with melting/vaporization included? Would they be able to walk through anything with that shield?

2. Who do you consider to be the current 2nd most powerful toa team in the gen 1 story?

3. When Bionicle truly ends, do you think you will be allowed to continue your serials? If not, then why?

4. Are there any surviving Toa of Plasma?

5.Do you ever get tired of answering all these questions?

---

1) Arguably yes, since a Toa of Ice would be able to use his element to create an ice shield all around him. However, the Toa of Plasma's shield would be very dangerous to anyone around him.

2) I don't know ... the most powerful Toa are the Nuva. After that, Toa are at roughly equal power levels, it just depends on their element and what they can do with it.

3) I would guess not, simply because LEGO Company will not have any reason to be promoting BIONICLE if they are no longer selling sets for it.

4) I'd have to check

5) If I did, I would just shut the board down.

Hello again Greg, are you ever thinking of making more of the Ninjago comics? If you have time or if you can, could you make more?

Hi Rob.

The reason you are not seeing more of the Papercutz series of NINJAGO graphic novels is that they lost the license. The graphic novels are now being done by Little Brown & Company and the first one is out (I believe it's called "Tournament of Elements") I wrote the reference material in it, but not the story.
