Here’s what were chosen.

Smack-a-Skull
Shield yourself from dark sorcery and swat back the skulls sent by the Evil Wizard! Thwart his wicked plan to triumph in a game that seems custom made for LEGO Universe heroes!

Catch the Parrot
A LEGO Universe pet appears to have set off a creative spark in the fan who came up with this cool minigame! Catch the pirate’s parrot before it flies away with a map to a LEGO Universe treasure trove!

Dragon Riding
Looks like this minigame creator was wowed by LEGO Universe dragons! Can you ride a fire breathing legend when it takes to the skies?

A very vibrant red squid with bright yellow eyes in a colorful setting. Very exciting!

Why? Well, it looks like the Creation Lab needs some inspiration for new “creatures”. Want to help? Then visit here! Whether the monster scare minifigures or make them fall in love. You choose.

An epic monument is under construction.

Time to escape from some trouble caused at the monument, build a rocket of your own custom design to launch to other LEGO worlds!

Somewhere deep in a gnarled forest…

Looks like some pirates have run their ship aground.

Maybe these ninjas will help? Then again, maybe not!

After a hard day adventuring with ninjas, pirates and who knows what else, it’s always good to take a break and rock out with some friends.

It looks like this mischievous minifgure is trying to creep past the squid, which is getting cleaned by its pirate and the squid acts like a cannon shooting the minifigure into the air. Is this a game or part of the storyline? I can’t wait to see this scene moving and in colour!

What’s happening in this picture?

This storyboard describes the sequence of events surrounding the discovery of a pirate washing his land-locked squid and what happens when you try to sneak past them.

What were the inspirations behind this image?

The great link between seaworthy pirates and giant octopi.

Well, it looks like there’s only steps. But the good news is that once you reach the top, you get to meet a character!

What’s happening in this picture?

The player has to climb up the interior of this tree to interact with a character that resides there.

What’s your favorite thing about this image?

I like the transition of different environments as the player advances up the tree interior.

The beautiful concept art picture is very colorful and also mentions a previous concept art, about the Pirate Camp. It seems like the Pirate’s ship had got stuck on land and maybe you have to try and get it out – is that a mission?

What’s happening in this image?

The image shows a LEGO Pirate Ship that has somehow made land and been tangled up in a giant gnarly tree. Pirates have made a camp under the tree, staying with their ship until the end!

What’s your favorite thing about this piece?
It’s super colorful!
