Already been asked and answered. Right now, I do not have the spare time to do them, no one at LEGO Company is asking me to do them, and there is no place official to post them.
why was bionicle discontinued?
it is an honour to be speaking to you.
Hey Greg, I personally think it is awesome of you to get in touch with this (fortunately and surprisingly) active community again. My question is, if LEGO are doing nothing with Bionicle anymore - as most of us have inferred - then why haven't the rights and trademark and all that stuff been sold yet? It would make some last final money out of the subject, Bionicle, since LEGO aren't bringing it back or anything.
Or, I could know barely anything about those kind of affairs and it'll probably be a whole lot more complicated than I'm making it out to be, as you will probably tell me in the next few hours.
Greg when do u think bionicle was in its prime. (I mean what year was bionicle at its best?) In my personal opinion i think it was 2006 the inika and piraka.
Okay well I guess the makuta are more powerfull than the rest but, I'm still confused.
1. Pirakah vs Baraki
2 Bohrak Kal vs Rahkshi
3. Why dosen't the matoran universe have more heroes. It seems the Toa Nuva could barely defeat the Rahkshi and Bohrak Kal. And the Mahri were weaker than the pirakah and barraki. Clearley members of the order of mata nui are more powerful than the current toa, why don't they become toa so they can have elemental power while already being extremely powerful.

1) If the season was starting in August, you would have seen ads for it by now, right?
2) What are you referring to?
7) No idea. Not something I have ever heard.
3-6, 8) I can't discuss anything that relates to future storyline.
WHY CAN'T YOU TELL ME! I am Ninjago's 1 fan. Ninjago means so much to me!
Hey greg!
from my understanding, the red star is where all the dead Toa's, Matoran, Turaga etc.
In Bionicle: Mask of Light, Jaller dies... So did he end up in the Redstar?

About that 9-year-old story, could LEGO ever release the books for purchased download on the internet? I can't buy them anywhere anymore, so downloading them for some money would really save my day!
I tend to doubt it. There is very little market for e-books aimed at young people, so I can't see Scholastic digging them up to do this. If they aren't doing it for Chima or Ninjago stuff, I doubt they will do it for an old line that is out of print. And the books are still available on Amazon.
Nah, I've checked Amazon. But only the German on has all of the books, and they are, or very expensive because they aren't available in real stores any more, or used, very cheap and so probably worn-out. If I could just download them purchased, I would 'buy' all of them, and read all of them. But as long as Scholastic doesn't want me to, I guess I''ll hit the wikia again...

2: What is your favorite wave of Bionicle sets (ex. Mata, Nuva, etc.)
1) No
2) Rahkshi, probably - nice design plus they saved the line from being cancelled.
@1:
Actually, the Biomedia Project has them for download.
Why is anti-dermis green but Makuta's eyes and shadow hand is red.

Hey, Mr.Farshtey.
I have two other questions:
1- On BIONICLE movies, Kanohi restranscribe feelings of characters. Meanwhile, in your books, you suggest the face is under the Kanohi, and that he isn't animated. Which version is canon?
2- You said the transformation of Zaktan came from his nature of mutant. Meanwhile, this happen two times, and in similair circumstances. (He was mean to be desintegrated). Could we conclude that his Skakdi power is to survive with a more fragmented form when someone try to desintegrate him?

Well, you see, there is something called "pick a side." It's when someone is using opposite points at different moments for his own benefit. Take for example, in the Castle's "Creating New HQ's" topic, Ackar_Glatorian had suggested an idea for a "rebel hq" after I had suggested "Rogue HQ." While I think it's all sorted out, he was saying to people suggesting Rogue HQ after then that they were copying off his idea, and when someone (me) before him also had the idea for Rogue HQ before his or any others, he said it was different. Some Ninjago people (jaypwr6) has even done this in the same post, claiming that my arguments don't make any sense, and that I just "don't understand" his. That's what's going on with TLG and BIONICLE. They are not bringing BIONICLE back, but aren't selling the rights because they might want to bring it back.
Dear Mr. Farshtey,
when Makuta took control of the universe, how did his hundreds of thousands of yellow Rahkshi come into being. Did lines that once produced Vahki produce their worms (Forgot their name, sorry) and creating their armor suits? Was Ahkmou working overtime in some secret place to produce an army? Did he just make them out of atoms?
