redacted Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Anyone remember the Bradford Rant pods? I have Pod 1, and I figured i'd post some pictures. And no I didn't just copy and paste this from my MOCpages account.... Maybe. The case is awesome. I can't say I've seen a LEGO case cooler than that. Very secure, I might add.It has molded spaces for the pod, stand, and minifig. BTW, it didn't arrive like this. The case was wrapped in bubble wrap and in a box, and the pod itself was also wrapped in it. As you can see, it also came with a little card stating when the pod was found and such.Here it is. Very pod-like. I think the color scheme works fairly well here. The orange had the risk of messing up the colors, but I think it turned out well.Shiny bullhorn piece. Some people call it a "loudhailer." Shiny...Everyone and everything seems to need an ID these days. Yes, this pod has a driver's license! *Gasp* It's open! I wonder what's inside?Aw, it's a cute little space minifig with his personal toaster oven. I really like the minifig. the torso piece is really cool. It appears that Fred wants some fresh air. That helmet probably won't help him much with that.That's better. Hi Fred! He's contemplating a way to salvage his toaster oven.The stand is pretty cool. Awesome 4 x 2 sloping pieces. Here's the letter I got from the B.R.I.C.K.The guys at the B.R.I.C.K. signed it, too. I wonder if those are their real names...I also got two shirts, one large and one medium.Alas, I really shouldn't and so won't be taking it apart. I'll keep it safe, and then sell it in a few decades. So yeah. That was all written on January 26th, a day after I got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeluNumber1 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 These look cool. When were they released? Quote Why are orange and black such a good color Combination ? Purple is pretty, and so is blue. Pink hurts your eyes, green is quite mellowing, black is very threatning, red is cool, orange is SO awesome, yellow's hard to read... But you can't see white at all! Oh, wait. I forgot brown. Here's my thoughts: If a person tells the truth and says, " I always lie," Is he lying? Or is he telling the truth? And what has a mouth, but no head, and a body, but no torso? Do caterpillars like to tend to supporting colum of stone's every need? Or is that name misleading by nature? Speaking of nature, why are the children of animals called offspring? don't many young beasts come alive in spring, and thus, should be called onspring? Heeeeeeyy..... I got the first post on a page for the first time. Who knows; it may happen again. What the... It did happen again... and again... YEAH! I'M ENCOUNTERING PROTODERMIS!

Meiko Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 how have you not seen these before?!?!?!? dont you remember the whole lego universe promotional pods?I was kinda away from LEGO news when LEGO Universe was newer and all that cool stuff went on, because I was at a boarding school for a year.

redacted Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 There were 7 of these pods, each was found at a LEGO store somewhere in the world. Mine was a little different in that I had to be the first to break a code on the website in order to get it.More info on the pods, and instructions to build them here: www.bradfordrant.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akuna Toa of Sonics Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I've never gone to a Lego store before I was 13, so I never got one.Nor do I have the pieces for 1.

Meiko Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I think I have most of the pieces for that, but I see a printed one on there, which I don't have (I have it in a non-printed piece though). Don't know what I'd do with the thing if I had one though.

Andrewnuva199 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Oh man, I'm annoyed LEGO only did a severely limited run of these. Some of those parts would be usefull elsewhere, plus it's a little difficult to find all the parts to build one's own pod (I really should recheck, though. I could only need a few parts that I would have to buy seperately. Glad to see someone's enjoying and respecting theirs. I have a good feeling that at least a few of the winners were just lucky kids who happened to be at the store on the day these were given out. Hope either they or their parents know to take good care of them. I think Pod 1 was my favorite out of the bunch, too. Edited October 19, 2011 by Andrewnuva199 Quote Your Honor, I Plead the Fifth.

redacted Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 What do the other pods look like?Check here: www.bradfordrant.orgThis was a promotional thing, so each pod is one-of-a-kind. You can find the pieces to build them though, just without printed pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redacted Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 YW!The point of the whole thing was really just to add hype to LEGO Universe. The first proper trailer for it was revealed when I broke the code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesster Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 None of the pods landed even remotely close to where I lived at the time... But now, I live about 45 minutes away from where Pod 3 landed. Sigh, oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatanui Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Pod 5 landed just a 30-minute car ride from where I live, but when I woke up I saw on the website it had already been found by some kids. Anyway, congratulations, and enjoy your pod! I predict this will be worth hundreds in a few years.~Gata. Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

kalhiki Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 You are one lucky person. I'd kill for one of these (okay, maybe not kill. That's a little severe). I could probably make one on LDD, granted not all the parts would be the same, though.Definitely would like to see the pods show up or be referenced to in the game. Maybe even have the minifig pilots show up (or characters dressed like them). Kalhiki Quote You're Doomed, Rayman!Boy!

Too bad LU is ending in January, I never got a chance to get it...Is that a clear Barraki eye?It's trans light-blue, the same kind as the one from Toa Hahli in 2007.
