Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on May 13, 2009, 11:35:21 am
Recently, the LEGO Universe News Network updated with a new news article, officially revealing to everyone the new character hinted at in a previous story.

Quote
We recently showed fans an outline of an upcoming LEGO Universe character and asked if you could guess what the character does for a living. LEGO Universe newsletter subscribers first learned the answer a few weeks ago, and now it's time to let everyone else in on the secret!

There was a ton of talk about what the van in the background could be for and what the mystery-man might be holding (no, that's not an ice cream cone!), but Ryo! was the very first LEGO Universe fan to guess right when he said the character could be a news reporter!

We'll soon be hearing more from our new news reporter as he tries to solve some of the mysteries of LEGO Universe!

Be sure to sign up for the free LEGO Universe email newsletter if you haven't already! The newsletter is your inside source for exclusive VIP gifts and sneak peeks at the game's development!

There was also an image associated with it, showing the new character.

Here is the link to the story. (http://us.universe.lego.com/en-us/newsnetwork/Story.aspx?id=118067)

Thanks to Tombomdoodle for reporting it!

Yes, they released it publicly now. Just like they did with Friendly Felix and such.

*Points to date that says Tuesday May the 12th* It was yesterday... =/ It was around a month ago that they showed the first silhouette though.

What are you arguing about???


Title: Re: New LEGO Universe Character Officially Revealed; Source: Tombomdoodle
Post by: Ddude The Insane on May 13, 2009, 04:43:17 pm
Doesn't look like argueing to me....


Title: Re: New LEGO Universe Character Officially Revealed; Source: Tombomdoodle
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on May 13, 2009, 04:46:05 pm
No, I'm just saying that it's not old news for those that can't get the newsletter for some reason...

I know it's old news to newsletter subscribers, but I know many people can't get the newsletter so I posted a link to the story here.
TBD

He is not MLN networker, only LU character

Post by: Kritzelei on May 16, 2009, 02:19:30 am
Are you sure? I think it would be stupid not to put him on MLN. Like I said on LEGO Universe, a Universe Reporter Badge would be nice.
TBD

ON LU the news is in General news, not MLN
