Community Mission: Jawbox Donation Contest!

As you all know, you need to donate LOTS of bricks to complete Nexus Tower. So why not reward the people who donate the most? That's exactly what Lego is doing. The top 20 contributors to the Nexus Jawbox will win REAL bricks! It's almost like trading in your virtual bricks for real ones! And who wouldn't want to do that? So make sure you start stocking up/buying bricks right now! It's going to take a lot to donate a ton of bricks and become one of the winners! Here is your 'mission' according to the community article. And in case you don't get what "stop" means after each sentence, it was an old term to tell the reader that the sentence ended there. It was usually in telegrams or military messages.

Here’s your mission: Start gathering loads of bricks. Stop. After May 3, talk to Nexus Jay in Nimbus Station. Stop. He will send you on to Kurt Tussle at the Race Place. Stop. Tussle stands right next to the magnificent Nexus Jawbox. Stop. You will drop your bricks into its churning abyss of a mouth! Stop. If you are one of the top donators, you will win… real bricks! Full stop.


Here is the full prize list:


--------------------------------------------------

The top contributor to Nexus Tower wins:

o LEGO Architecture – Farnsworth House (#21009) 
o 1 LEGO Large Brick Box (#5508)
o 1 LEGO Brick Separator (#630) 
o 1 copy of LEGO® Universe Massively Multiplayer Online Game (#55000)

But make sure that while your donating bricks, to keep your hand away from the jaws, they could bite your hand off!

How to Build the Nexus Jawbox! (Before it comes out!)

The Nexus Jawbox is a special model that can only be in Lego Universe for a short time. It's job is to collect bricks from players so the Nexus Tower construction project can be finished. Once the entire community has donated enough bricks, Nexus Tower will be completed! LEGO has released the instructions for you to build the Nexus Jawbox with (for all of you people who can't wait to see it in-game). Once again, and with all models, you can build it on your property, your living room floor, or in the new updated LDD! Have fun building!

Welcome to Paradise-Nimbus Isle!

So, you thought Avant Grove was pretty big, huh? You haven't seen a big property until you've seen Nimbus Isle. Nimbus Isle is supposed to be even larger than Avant Grove, and have many more building oppurtunities plus a great view of a calming ocean. What more could you ask for? I know, I know, there's still a lot of stuff you could ask for in a property. But for now, this is the best you can get. Read this letter from the community staff to all of the 'adventurers' in Lego Universe. And most importantly, have fun building at Nimbus Isle! I know I will!

Adventurers,

The Property Guards need your help!

A new, uncharted island was just spotted near Nimbus Station by Property Guard Bud Nippit! Since he discovered the island, he has earned the honor of naming this new area – and he chose Nimbus Isle! Quite fitting, isn’t it?

Nimbus Isle is a larger-sized Property than Nimbus Rock – some might say it is comparable to the size of Avant Grove! Brave Bud Nippit insisted on being the first to explore Nimbus Isle, to make sure it is a fitting habitat for Minifigures. We’ve just received a report from him that Nimbus Isle is swarming with Stromling Mechs, Stromling Admirals and Dark Ronin. Apparently, they are trying to build a monument to the Darkitect out of some rubble, but luckily for us, they are really lousy at building and just watch rocks roll off each other.

Bud Nippit reports further that although Nimbus Isle is filled with the Maelstrom, he sees potential for great beauty and peace on Nimbus Isle. Nimbus Isle has a premium oceanic view –which he assures us will be sure to inspire builders and visitors alike!

Meanwhile, Property Guards stationed in Nimbus Station are working tirelessly to build a Rocket Launch Pad to Nimbus Isle. As soon as this Launch Pad is ready, please, won’t you help Bud Nippit who is bravely facing the Maelstrom alone? We’re told that the new Launch Pad will be found in Brick Annex, on the path towards Pet Cove’s launcher.

While you wait for the finishing touches to the Launch Pad, discuss this article and your new Property ideas on the message boards!

Nimbus Station Racing Tips!

Hi Everyone!

Since most of you know that next month will be all about racing competitions, I made a video on some of the skills that I use to help me get first place (Before they erased the scores, I had a 15-1 win-loss ratio). These are some good tips that will really help you take some seconds off your time. Most of them are obvious, but some of them are new. Enjoy!

The Battle of Nimbus Station Needs You! Again!

The developers have brought back a contest used earlier this month! The Battle Of Nimbus Station Contest. Same rules, same game, different prizes. If you didn't win last time, now is your chance for payback (or something like that)! Play in the epic battle this weekend to show your skills and luck. The prizes are worth trying for.

Here is the official article straight from Lego's Community Site:


So you proved in the last Battle of Nimbus Station that you can take on a few Stromlings. And the occasional Stromling Mech. And maybe even a Dark Spiderling or two. But how about the dreaded Hammer Stromling Murgle Blotch, or the almighty Maelstrom Ape Kinga Hurl? Show what you are made of, team up with your fellow Nexus Force combatants and have a rematch with all the Maelstrom infected creatures in the Battle of Nimbus Station this weekend!

Let’s end Battle Month in LEGO Universe with a big Ka-Pow of a battle! This weekend, March 26 and March 27, finish 29 waves of enemies in the Battle of Nimbus Station mini-game for a chance to win some smashing LEGO Castle and LEGO Kingdoms prizes!

Granted, you are not time travelling all the way back to the Middle Ages, but time-twist your way to the Battle of Nimbus Station, and defend Nimbus Station against the Maelstrom onslaught!
Winning will be based on a combination of skill and luck. Make it through 29 waves of Maelstrom in the Battle of Nimbus Station mini-game to qualify. We will randomly draw 20 players from everyone who qualifies, across all three servers (Overbuild, Storm and Exeter).

Are you ready for this?

Time-Twist Back to the Battle Of Nimbus Station

Copied from the Lego Universe Patcher

On February 23rd, you get the chance to go back in time and battle for Nimbus Station. The battle will be almost like a Survival Minigame, with four players to a team. However, there will 30 waves of Maelstrom, each harder than the next, so expect some tougher enemies. If you are looking for some gear to make the battle a little easier, it is recommended that you go to Crux Prime and stock up on some weapons or consumables.
