NetDevil has announced that the Great Minifig Mission is under way, and they need help sending minifigs into the LEGO Universe to take on the power of The Maelstrom. All you need to do is complete the challenges on the site to find hidden codes. There are currently three missions available to complete.

According to the mission page, 2,026,113 minifigs have already entered the LEGO Universe, and the number keeps climbing every minute. The countdown to rip closure is currently set at around 69 days, which puts it in the beginning of April. What does this mean? The game's scheduled to launch in 2010, so only time will tell what the rip closure signifies for the LEGO Universe.
