Have you found one of the strange LEGO pods? Are you helping solve the mystery?

LEGO Universe Master posted that on the first of December right here: http://messageboards.lego.com/en-US/showpost.aspx?PostID=2450334

The hunt is now live and has been publicly revealed to LEGO fans on the Lego Message Boards.

Wow! And they won't let us know what it is yet?

Man, now there will be tons of people looking for these pods! Shocked

Nope...and there's just a bunch of gibberish about invading space aliens. Razz

Yep...which will make them that much harder to find. I mean...even if we knew the latitude and longitude, it wouldn't help much. For example, if I had a field that was one square mile and knew that it contained a treasure, I could spend years and years digging every single foot of dirt up and might not find everything.

Yes, that is what I have been posting about. POD 2 was found in Orlando at the Lego Imagination Center just a few days ago.

POD 3 is expected to be in Texas in a few days, most likely near a LEGO store.

Do they have any clues as to where it would be, or is just a free-for-all treasure hunt?

by **lindavz** 12/5/2009, 11:11 pm

yes:

and the key phrase "The pods are attracted to large amounts of LEGO

bricks and/or imagination"

There is a facebook and twitter page that people have been using.

Yeah...it's still a rough estimate though. I wonder if Jdg50 will find it. Laughing

Interesting that the site owner uses a gmail address instead of an official lego server address.

I can confirm that BRICK exists and working closely with LEGO. See the LEGO copyright on the bottom?

Yeah, I saw it. In other words, if it weren't for the copyright, the information you've provided, and LUM's post on the LMB's, it would be reasonable to suspect that it wasn't legitimate.

by **lindavz** 12/5/2009, 11:23 pm

Well - but it was posted in the newsletter also. But I hear what you mean.

I will have an exclusive Q & A with BRICK coming up soon (in a few days), so if you have any questions, please feel free to post here. The majority of questions have been asked - but if you have any more i can slip them in.

by **PianoGuy** 12/6/2009, 12:29 am

I'm a bit confused. So these pods just are placed for anyone to go, find and pick up? or, what?

I have a feeling this has something to do with Lego Universe. That's where Lego reported it, and Lego Universe Master is reporting it on the message boards, so....

by **lindavz** 12/6/2009, 4:44 am

yes, anyone can get one, but it is likely to be in or around a store.

yes, it is likely to be related to Lego Universe.

by **Bugefun** 12/6/2009, 8:58 pm

Of course it has to do with LEGO Universe, the map thing that came in pod 1 had names of LEGO Universe planets.

by **lindavz** 12/7/2009, 5:40 pm

POD 3 coordinates were updated today.

by **Iconox** 12/7/2009, 7:07 pm

Personally I think this also ties in to the new Ben 10 line. I used to be a fan when I was like 10 or so and the special Omnetrix watch was found in a pod in the first episode.

by **lindavz** 12/17/2009, 4:38 pm

Not sure if you have seen this yet, but the POD 2 landing was reported by Brick Journal. I know that there are new developments that have not been reported yet there but are upcoming.
