NEXUS TOWER IS OPEN!

Adventurers,

Nexus Naomi, here with the latest information, direct from Nexus Tower! I am pleased to report that at the current rate of construction, Nexus Tower is projected to open its doors on June 1st! In just one short week, you will be able to enter the new Faction Headquarters and enjoy all of the exciting new adventures Nexus Tower has to offer!

Vaults and Property Safes!

Faction Pets!

Nexus Tower is the launching point to Starbase 3001, LEGO Club and Crux Prime!
Aside from protecting the Imagination Nexus and creating the new Faction Headquarters, Nexus Tower also serves as the new launching point to Starbase 3001, LEGO Club and Crux Prime! Existing launch pads to these worlds have been disassembled and rebuilt inside Nexus Tower.

Dr. Overbuild strongly suggests that before Nexus Tower opens, all Minifigures should reconvene in Nimbus Station, next to Kurt Tussle. That way when Nexus Tower opens, you will be able to fly to Nexus Tower right away!

Dr. Overbuild and the other Faction Leaders have worked very hard to complete Nexus Tower – the largest LEGO structure ever. Now you have the most difficult part: deciding what to do first inside Nexus Tower on June 1st!

Building

• Several changes have been made to help prevent models from disappearing for players.

Nexus Tower is really fun. Lots of missions, not to many achievements though. The inside is huge, but there could be more rooms added higher up.

It's so big, it doesnt look built to minifigure scale! It's a really fun world, but you can get lost very easily. I feel bad for you guys who don't have the game - you don't know what you're missing!

I've already finished all the missions.

Do you get a crate disguise as a reward from a mission?

No it's paradox only.

Really? I saw two different crate disguises yesterday.... I don't think just Paradox would get that. It doesn't make sense....

Ahhh! I REALLY want to play Nexus Tower!!! Oh, well, I guess I'll have to settle with music.

GUYS, i cant emphasize this enough, the disguises are for PARADOX ONLY i answer this question about twenty times a day yes, there are multiple disguises for PARADOX ONLY the paradox faction missions are spying on the other faction leaders, i think you have to have a different crate for each leader.

I saw a mission where Vanda wants to spy on the Sentinels! That's weird! Aren't the factions supposed to be united?

yeah, but no one will tell vanda the truth about what happened at the temple on crux, also guess what...




SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Duke has a crush on vanda


SPOILER OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
