About @MinifigNewsguy

An alter ego of a Lego minifigure who thinks he's not qualifed to be a journalist and rather hangs around the library of the Promotions and Creative Services Department; collecting airchecks and making montages and News Music Resyncs on YouTube. Public Relations for MISAB. Technically an outsider to the industry, with insight to the business and found some people in the industry to respect your's truly.
