Some of you may have noticed that there is a countdown timer on the Great Minifig Mission page. It ends on April 2 at 12:00am (midnight) GMT. In Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) that is 8:00pm on April 1. But since it is at midnight with the GMT time, I think that that is when it was set to, April 2, which just happens to be April 1st in America. So it probably was not specifically planned to end on April Fools Day.
No one knows exacly what will happen when it runs out, but it says "countdown until rip closure" so that might mean you can't send any more minifigs in through the minigames. It might also have something to do with beta or pre-order which was supposed to be announced yesterday but wasn't.
I'm not sure, but I think that they will have to start releasing the new missions faster if they want to release all 20 before the countdown ends. Maybe there won't be 20, but that is what it looks like.
Also, someone asked about LEGO Universe coming out on April 1st to the I think official LEGO Universe Twitter account, and they replied saying the game certainly won't come out on April Fool's Day.

Well, we do know that LU won't be available until sometime in the second half of 2010. I could mean the close of beta, but I doubt it
its probably will be when they make the time sections bigger.... hopefully :)
Can someone send me my 8 Rough Rubies, 2 Rough Diamonds, 4 Rough Sapphires, and 3 Dino Horns I requested for winning the Power Miners caption contest sometime soon =)?
Speaking of the minifig mission...HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO REVIEW ONE CREATION?!?
I submitted a creation for the minifig mission challenge last Friday, and it's still being received!!!
-Rant ends here.
@SuperBen21: I doubt that, but you never know. ;D
I really don't know what it is there for.
Although it amuses me that a good deal of people used to think it referred to the start of the beta testing.
The thought just cracks me up. =P

BTW, guys, a heads up on that LU Beta Team Form -
Someone posted fake names in there.
"Hi" and "Hello" were listed.
It's kinda funny, but confusing all the same.
SSD~
You caught that? Not bad...it was just me, though, doing a maintenance check and getting ready for a little update.
@Vanderdecken: Oh, okay. I was just making sure. ;D
I love that new online/offline form, by the way! That was a great idea!
But does it update where you already entered your data, or does your name keep going further down the list...?
SSD~
The skeletonman939. I think that would be impossible to give for the contest. Actually you didn't ask that much. We actually are going to give items for the prize of 200 MLN blog points. We would let you know what we could give you very soon.
When you say you are online, then it would say 'online'.
When you say you are offline, then it would say 'offline'.
It is after 5 minutes automatically updated.
Are you supposed to set the offline online for when your on LU or for when you are on mln? Or both? Also I set mine to online and then changed it to offline but it still says I'm online, am I missing something? :)
Now it says I'm offline, it must have taken a couple of minutes. :)
Only when you are online at LU. I would post later this day a post about to tell you what to do.
@Herochild: make sure it's not on edit mode, once i did that for 2 weeks

Whoops, entered my name in on that thing and forgot it was talking about LU. :P
AH! When will we stop having holidays!? :P
I don't know =P Probably next year.
