From March 2010 to September 2010, I participated in the beta testing of LEGO Universe. I have compiled the screenshots I have taken during testing for the world to see.

Red Blocks Amphitheater is the concert area of Nimbus Station, best known for being where famed LEGO adventurer Johnny Thunder hangs out. Here, he will give missions to search for treasure chests across Nimbus System.

The first screenshot in this video is the second-oldest screenshot I have taken; it was taken the very day Nimbus Station was released in beta testing in March 2010. And... Johnny Thunder looked horrid. Don't worry, old-time LEGO fans, because the second screenshot taken two months later shows Johnny Thunder as the classic explorer we know and love.

Music is "Spirit of the Air" by Pat Metheny from "Orchestrion". In addition to being long enough to cover the entire video, it does sound like something that could be played at a Red Blocks concert.
