This huge update to the game, one of the largest to date will feature a new spider boss, faction classes, capes, character leveling plus a host of changes to items, areas and game mechanics. I’m pretty sure the free to play month will kick in at the same time.
This is due to be released on Tuesday, August 9th. Here is the release notes:

VicLUG will be at Gottacon again this year! February 4-6 we’ll have our VicWars ( based on BrikWars ) tabletop minifig game, blind build contest as well as our kid build setup. Our main hours of activity will be in the morning and afternoon of Saturday & Sunday, but the kid build will be open throughout the whole event.
Gottacon is at Pearkes Arena, by Tillicum Mall & Silver City. Go towww.gottacon.com for more info about the event.
The Sidney Museum Lego show is in full swing and VicLUG is happy to be part of this wonderful (6th!) annual event again! The show runs from January to March and is at 2423 Beacon, admission by donation.
Steve is too modest to post this himself, but being on the front page of Lego.com is something to toot your horn about!
Here’s a couple of new Lego Universe videos, a very cool trailer with a familiar voice talent at the helm, and a video from ComicCon with a panel that features our own Steve Barker!
