LEGO Minifigures Online Game Changing to Buy-to-Play

If you’re still playing LEGO Minifigures Online, there are some important changes you may want to know about that’s coming to the game this summer. Before, the game used to be a free-to-play business model but that will be going away in favor of the buy-to-play model which means that you buy the game first before playing. Memberships and Diamonds that you collect in-game will be going away. Any Diamonds that you still have will be converted to stars. If you have spent and money on memberships or other in-game items, your copy of LEGO Minifigures Online will be converted to the fully purchased version so it won’t affect you that much.

Personally, I think this is a bad move because the current version of the game allows players to try it out first before spending any money on it. You could also unlock characters from purchasing Collectible Minifigures and you can still unlock characters with codes you find. You can read more about the changes over on their blog.

LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated & Expanded Book Review

Way back in 2011, DK released LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia which featured more than 300 minifigures released for the LEGO Star Wars theme and included many facts about the characters. It’s been four years since the book was published and there are a lot more characters that have been introduced into the theme so accordingly, DK has released the new Updated and Expanded version which includes 72 additional pages of new minifigures. As tradition with many DK books, there is also an exclusive minifigure included with the book which is the White Boba Fett that is based on the Ralph McQuarrie prototype Mandalorian armor used in the 1978 screen test.

LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated & Expanded consists of 288 fully-colored pages and almost everything about the book is overhauled. First off is the new cover design with the title and minifigure window right in the middle instead of in the corner as before.

With the old Character Encyclopedia, the book was broken up into the six movies of the Star Wars saga, the Clone Wars, and the Expanded Universe.

This chapter includes all the minifigures that were in the old Expanded Universe chapter who are regarded as non-canon.
