May is all about Factions!

In this month of May, Lego Universe will be focusing on the factions! The contest calendar has been posted, and there are some exciting things planned for this month. There is going to be a wide variety of contests, but they will all be related to your faction! Here is the official contest calendar for this month!

May 3 – until Nexus Tower is done!   Jawbox Brick Donation
All Factions need to participate in the monthly challenge for us to reach the goal of finishing Nexus Tower. It will be the biggest and boldest Minifigure mission seen in LEGO Universe to date! Start collecting bricks today, so you’re ready to make some hefty donations in the Nexus Jawbox! This community mission will kick off with the ‘Build Nexus Tower’ release and end only when Nexus Tower is completed! The 20 top donators win large buckets of LEGO bricks.

May 7 – May 8   Mystery Racetrack Grand Prix
You will be pushing the pedal to the metal somewhere in LEGO Universe... The location is still unknown, but stay posted on LEGOuniverse.com/community, we will reveal the location a few days before the Grand Prix begins! For now, rest assured - it is not going to be easy, but it will be fun! All Factions welcome. Don’t push and shove members of your own Faction too much. Spectacular LEGO City Sets will be yours if you win!

May 14 – May 15   Shooting Gallery Showdown
On your mark. Take aim. Fire! Get the highest score during the weekend of May 14 - May 15 – we will give LEGO City Fire Stations and Fire Rescue vehicles to the best marksmen! Remember, hitting a friendly ship subtracts for your score. It is Venture Leaguers out there; we do not want them to sink! Everything with a purple tint you should hit – oh, and red sea monsters!

May 21 – May 22   Best Faction Screenshot
Snap a screenshot of your Best Faction Moment and share it in the Creation Lab. It could be an image of you with fellow Faction members, showing off your Faction skillz, or maybe you could join forces with other Factions and grab a snapshot which shows how heroic you all are? The 20 best submissions will be picked by the LEGO Universe judging panel and win awesome LEGO Hero Factory prizes! Heroes for heroes – it’s only fair!

May 28 – May 29   Faction Unity – Battle together for Nimbus Station!
In the Battle of Nimbus Station (or, as it is know on the streets of LEGO Universe, ‘BoNS’) defeat the 4 Riders of the Maelstrom to be in the drawing for LEGO Ninjago Sets such as the LEGO Ninjago Battle Arena and LEGO Ninjago Skeleton Bowling. Teamwork is key in this challenge – whether it’s within or across Factions!

Nexus Force Members, get ready to join forces or be prepared to beat the other Factions, and above all, remember to have fun! Let the games begin! Go Nexus Force Minifigures, go!
