[url]http://www.bradfordrant.org[/url] Apparently Lego Pods have fallen from space all around North America, and now it's your job to try to find them. They have Map Cordinates of where the last known location of the pods are. Those Cordinates are: [quote]40.92, -116.23 40.92, -80.11 24.77, -80.11 24.77, -116.23[/quote] They manage to be near or on North America so i guess the rest of the world can go away :saddowns: When you find one, you go onto the website and type the code in onto the webpage and you help solve this mystery of sorts. [quote] * Each signal transmits a set of map coordinates. The last set shows the exact location of the pod * We believe the pods are attracted to large amounts of LEGO® bricks and/or imagination * Once we decipher the last set of map coordinates we will try to inform persons at the location to secure the pod * If you arrive at a pod location, look for the contact person * When you find the contact person, tell them the number of the pod you seek, e.g. 'Pod No.2'. Be sure to write down the Pod ID. * As a reward for being the first person at the pod location, you will receive the pod * It is still very important for others to make their way to the pod location and record the Pod ID * Take photos and video footage and send it to us here at Bradford Rant [email]bradfordrant@gmail.com[/email]. Your data may help others in their search * REMEMBER: Always write down the Pod ID! [/quote] So go out there and find these lego pods of sorts.
And of course North America is the one to get the cool shit.
wat [editline]08:51PM[/editline] so, someone just threw out some lego and you're supposed to find those
Wasn't there a thread on something like this, but it's a hobby or something? Treasure hunting I think it was called? Anyway, people who do that will probably be good at this.

Too bad its America only.
Sounds kind of cool actually, but a waste of time.
I thought that thing in my yard was suspicous :geno: [editline]07:54PM[/editline] Shit you not.
[QUOTE=solid_jake;18336914]I thought that thing in my yard was suspicous :geno: [editline]07:54PM[/editline] Shit you not.[/QUOTE] I can assure you that it won't be in your yard.
I think it's called geocaching, the general umbrella term for this.
omg geocashing is fun my buddys found one and pissed in it :geno:
They are found most likely near Lego Stores, etc. I should go to the Lego Store near here at Concord Mills (Charlotte, NC)
New LEGO line would be cool.
-snip- I think

GeoCaching is pretty sweet, my aunt is really in to it. I went with her a few times. :3: Two of these appear to be in the ocean... :geno:

I bet this has something to do with [url=http://universe.lego.com/en-us/Splash/Default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fen-us%2fDefault.aspx]LEGO Universe[/url].

Sad that it's NA only, I fucking [i]love[/i] LEGO.
Australia gets nothing these days. Except for being the first to get New Super Mario Bros Wii!
Pretty much geocaching with legos.

Sad that it's NA only, I fucking [i]love[/i] LEGO.[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's what it seems to me. Right now the rectangle includes mid-Nevada at one vertex to the bottom of Florida at the diagonal vertex. Basically half of the U.S., but not the half I'm in, darn.
[QUOTE=dutchah;18336851]And of course North America is the one to get the cool shit.[/QUOTE] You should've learnt by now, anything other than North America doesn't exist.
[QUOTE=NeoTurtle;18359906]Australia gets nothing these days. Except for being the first to get New Super Mario Bros Wii![/QUOTE] Its gonna be banned and you know it.
two of them are in the middle of the ocean
[QUOTE=dutchah;18336851]And of course North America is the one to get the cool shit.[/QUOTE] What the fuck are you talking about? This is fucking [i]lego's[/i] that fell from the sky.
