I've been a part of LEGO Minifigures Online since Open Beta Testing(The Closed Beta Key went to my spam folder), so I feel the need to weigh in here. I paid about $60 for a year-long Membership, and $10 more for Unlimited Membership. Unlimited has since dropped in price by half, which was annoying, but that's the problem with MMO Memberships I guess. I ended up getting double the monthly rewards, so I never complained. The mobile Beta Test actually had no shop to spend Diamonds on, nor any option to use bricks. I'm guessing that's because they will be replaced in the Buy-to-Play version of the game. Like Andrew said, users who spent money will be upgraded to paid status immediately. I'm sad to lose a few friends in game, but I try to explain to them that they have to pay for things in life. I'm sure they'll understand one day... I'm eager for more content. I have every Minifigure except the DJ, Fairy, Ice Skater, Evil Knight and Mr. Gold, and I have every achievement complete without Mr. Gold. I'm quite bored with collecting daily rewards that never improve beyond 50 Diamonds or Series 13 Minifigure bags. The game is pretty fun if you don't rush through it, and if you have Minifigure codes to avoid the minimum Minifigure requirements for each world. If anyone from BZP wants to friend me, my main Minifigure in-game is VectorMetalBrick. Just tell me that you're from "Bio Power" (Yes, the chat is super restrictive) and I will friend you.
