Greg Farshtey was the Chief Editor of LEGO Club Magazine and story writer for Alpha Team, BIONICLE, Exo-Force, and Hero Factory, among other themes.
Biography[]
Greg Farshtey's personal biography on Amazon.com reads (as of 2018):
Greg Farshtey wrote all BIONICLE comics since the theme's debut in 2001. He authored many BIONICLE books starting in 2004, and was the mind behind the online BIONICLE story serials in 2007 onward. Following BIONICLE's discontinuation, Greg volunteered to continue the BIONICLE story with regular updates to story serials on BIONICLEstory.com. He continued to do so until his baby daughter was born, which caused him to put the story updates on an infinite hiatus. He was not involved in writing the Generation 2 storyline for BIONICLE's 2015 reboot.
Besides BIONICLE, Greg Farshtey also contributed to writing the storylines of many other LEGO themes, along with Daniel Lipkowitz.[1] His repertoire included Alpha Team magazine comics,[2][3] Redini's answers,[4][5] Galidor: Danger in the Outer Dimension, Dino Attack,[6] and many Exo-Force books. In 2013, he was the author of the Ninjago comic book, Warriors of Stone, and the author of LEGO Hero Factory: Face Off! - Makuro's Secret Guidebook.
In 2022, Greg Farshtey and other employees were laid off by The LEGO Group due to LEGO Life being restructured and moved to a different team in Europe.[7]
