==Website==
*Tommy Andreasen has said that, while he may not personally like some of the website's additions to the lore of the show, the information on LEGO.com is most likely canonical,https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/785750495688286208 though it "Depends on how false the info on the website is."https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/787009478717825024 However, he has indicated that some facts originating from the Rebooted character descriptions are not true.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/1372854817199116289
**However, he previously stated he was the one to have written Kai's Rebooted description in 2012https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/789493821243523072https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/789493965913456641 (and presumably the others' as well) and that Kai's being called "Ash" for the first two months of his life can be considered canonical.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/789492671408644096
**According to Tommy Kalmar, all information from the Museum is canonical.https://twitter.com/Tommy_kalmar/status/773831366135906304
