LEGO Minifigures Online Now in Open Beta

Many people have been waiting for this piece of news for a long time now. The Closed Beta for LEGO Minifigures Online ended a few days ago which meant that Funcom was ready to roll out the Open Beta very soon and that day is today. You can now go in and try out LEGO Minifigures Online by clicking “Play Now!” All you have to have is your LEGOID to start playing.

A few weeks ago, I was invited to take part of the Closed Beta and my first impressions were, “This may work.” It’s basically your standard MMO where you level up your character and upgrade your skills as you progress in the game. Throughout the beta, you will be able to test out various charcters in a couple of worlds and provide feedback to the developers.

The game is based on the popular LEGO Collectible Minifigures theme and Funcom is hoping that they will translate into a great gaming experience as well. Check out the official Funcom press release below.

Throughout the Open Beta process, gameplay, content and the business model will be balanced, expanded and improved based

Amazon is now accepting pre-orders again for The LEGO Movie in anticipation of the movie being released on Blu-Ray/DVD tomorrow.

LEGO Minecraft Steve & Creeper Minifigures Revealed

LEGO Minecraft Minifigure Scale

There’s some interesting news coming out of Eurobricks today. Forum member TomKraut has posted a link to the German LEGO Catalog for the second half of the year. We’ve already seen everything in the catalog and all the sets have been released or will be releasing in the next few months but on page 92-93, there is an advertisement for the LEGO Minecraft minifigure scale sets. There are no sets pictured but we get to see what appears to be the final renditions of the Steve and Creeper minifigures. Steve looks like any other minifigure except that he has a block head and carries a new pickaxe. The creeper looks to be brick-built like with many of the mobs in this wave of Minecraft sets.

We’ve already done a couple of posts previewing a few of the LEGO Minecraft sets although the may be just prototypes. The minifigure scale sets are scheduled for release around October of this year. We’re still waiting for the official images of them and hopefully we’ll see them soon now that the catalog is available.

Minifigures

There are two minifigures in this little polybag, the balloon vendor and a young boy. The vendor wears your old-style uniforms that you would have seen back in the day. He wears a red tie and a grey striped vest with a pocketwatch in one of the pockets. He only has a single-sided head with a happy expression and wears a red hat.

The boy has a red shirt on with dark blue sleeves The shirt has some sort of design on it. Not sure what it is but it’s interesting. He also has dark blue short legs. One nice thing that he has is the double-sided head. On one side, he is extremely happy to get a balloon. On the other opposite side, he is sad and is even shedding a tear, probably due to the fact that his balloon flew away or wasn’t given one.
