There’s quite a lot of interesting information in this. Something I found particularly interesting was that he claims to have come up with the idea of the Mata Nui Robot, when in Brick by Brick I recall Christian Faber claiming to come up with the concept.
It seems like he’s asking for credit for a lot of things, regardless as to whether he deserves it or not, its difficult to really believe without an official word from Lego. If he is not after claiming royalties or anything like that, then it should be a matter of simply getting someone from Lego to comment on the situation.
Though part of me questions, why now? Is it because Bionicle is back that he was reminded of what he worked on? Either way, its going to be a complicated matter to resolve.
It’s interesting story, but he has credited himself to a lot of things, and I’ve never heard of him.
Scar sums it up. Even if he really come up with all of that, how come I’ve never heard of him. Either I am just ignorant, or he isn’t quite as important as he says he is. Either way, interesting story.
Okay, I’m gonna have to flip the Venom switch for this one.

What the hey, guys. I’m calling bootleg on this. This is way more bootleg than anything I’ve seen.

Okay, he might be telling the truth, it just seems unlikely. I mean, why wait all these years? Maybe someone could somehow contact Christian Faber and ask him…
I don’t know why you guys doubt him. He’s the real deal. There was actually an old TTV debate regarding Mr. Swinnerton and his writing of the original story bible that’s kinda funny, but unrelated.
Granted, there are a few things that are unusual. The Mata Nui robot does seem to be a contradiction. However, I dunno about anything else, honestly.
And as to why he’s doing this now, it’s because he’s releasing a new book of his, and word of it has been circulating throughout Bionicle fanbase channels such as the BS01 and BZPower twitter feeds.
His name just got smothered under the years and other people. Not a matter of being ignorant, just his name not being mainstream like Greg Farshtey’s or Christian Faber’s.
