A messenger dart wrapped in checkered flag wrapping was recently found pinned to the door of LEGO Universe headquarters. It read:
Have you ever bought a birthday present for a 150 year-old ninja? Let me tell you, it’s not as easy as you might think.
Kenjin the Wise is reaching his century-and-a-half birthday this weekend, and nobody in the Great Tree clan knows what to get him. In the last few decades he’s gotten everything on his wishlist: an Imagination lava lamp, shuriken and shinobi patterned pajamas, an autographed copy of the Johnny Thunder autobiography… what do you buy for the grizzled ninja elder who has everything?
Luckily for us Sensei Master Fong, Kenjin’s old apprentice, remembers his master taking myriad breaks to visit the local racetrack back during their training. We’re going to play on that secret automotive appreciation of his by hosting a Grand Prix birthday extravaganza for Kenjin here at Dragonmaw Chasm. It’s perfect!
Jump in your fastest ride and head down to Dragonmaw Chasm this weekend, speed demons – we need your racing skills to make this birthday shindig Kenjin’s best yet!
- Zip Lash
You heard Zip! Grab your trusty racecar and try your luck in the Dragonmaw Chasm track between Saturday, July 9 and Sunday, July 10 to celebrate Kenjin’s 150th birthday! Players with the top twenty fastest times will win blazing fast vehicle sets from LEGO Technic, LEGO Ninjago, and LEGO World Racers!
Remember - to race at Dragonmaw Chasm, you must first prove your racing prowess to Velocity Lane in Nimbus Station. Once you’ve done that, head to Forbidden Valley and find the bouncer on the far side of Mantis Rock, across the first Ronin battlefield.
