NOTE: This is a meta update about MonoTown! Meta updates are “out of character” updates that “break the 4th wall” and are made out-of-character to our normal content. They provide behind the scenes info and updates to our supporters, they don’t affect the story, and you can choose to ignore them entirely if you want! It has been just over a month since we we acquired some dedicated space for a new MonoTown HQ. We’re really excited about it, and there has been some pretty intensive work to get everything up and running. We’re still not there, but we’re making…

Hi Folks! Quick meta update here! After the Great Unplanned Extended Hiatus over the last 18 months, it is time for an update on the status of MonoTown. Difficulty Rebooting I’ve been trying to reboot the channel and get back to building for almost a year, but I was running into a bunch of challenges. One thing that never stopped during the Extended Hiatus was the constant accumulation of LEGO bricks.  Some of you may remember me (accidentally) purchasing a pallet of LEGO in 2020.  Well, I also bought an entire Bricklink store that was going out of business in…

The world’s leading broadcaster announced today that it had expanded its award winning programming to the popular social media platform TikTok. With a total global audience in the billions, MonoTown TV represents a major coup for TikTok as it joins other social media outlets featuring MonoTown TV content such as Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. Featuring short form content that includes live stream segments and made-to-order exclusive content, the channel has already seen impressive growth and will be a key part of the channel’s strategy to engage a younger demographic. A key question for MonoTown TV executives surrounds the question…

After a quick ceremonial parliamentary session, MonoTown formally adopted “The Bi-Color” as its national flag. Having been used for years informally, with variations formally adopted by the armed forces, parliament, and other official government bodies, the Bi-Color was officially approved by unanimous vote on the back of an extensive referendum that passed with more than 90% public approval. International “Diver Down” Flag The flag is symbolic of the city’s storied history – with a nod given towards the traditional divers flag used to warn other boats of submerged diving activity. In the years leading up the The Great Reckoning, MonoTowners…

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MonoTown sustained a series of interruptions Sunday evening that have been claimed by a group calling themselves “The Factr Faction.” The disruptions were ostensibly caused by the group hacking numerous computer systems and networks, and culminated in MonoTown TV itself being taken off the air and its broadcast commandeered by “LorentzFactr” – the masked leader of the group. City leaders have responded by strongly condemning the attacks, but questions remain around the MonoTown Mainframe while the city heightens security measures designed to thwart any further actions by the Factr Faction.

My LEGO collection has grown significantly from when I was a child. Most of that started in 2015 when I bought my first LEGO set after a more than 25 year hiatus, and since then, it has quickly, uh, grown. There are three questions I get routinely asked: How many LEGO pieces did it take to construct MonoTown? Answer: I don’t know, but probably roughly 100,000.How many LEGO pieces do I have in total? Answer: I don’t know, but probably something like 4-500,000How much did all of this cost? Answer: I don’t want to know! The fourth question has been…

We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with the great folks at Save The Children to raise money for the children of Lebanon! Over the beautiful country of Lebanon has been hit with massive forest fires (2019), a massive uprising against corrupt government (2019), and currency devaluation and banking crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and in August of this year, the Beirut Blast. A country of only five million people, Lebanon has taken in more than 1.5 million refugees during the Syrian war. Individually, these events would be difficult, but put together, and it has hit the economy of Lebanon (which…

The MonoTown Block Party Festival is delighted to welcome BearJokesDJ to the Main Stage. The renowned performer has said he’s “very excited” to both headline and kick off the world famous festival, which has enjoyed increased publicity as one of the only events still happening during 2020’s ongoing global pandemic. MonoTown controversially shut down its border, implement a quarantine for all arriving visitors, and mandated a comprehensive track and trace program early on, and so far has been able to emerge from lockdown and even hold major events like The Block Party. Live performances are being scheduled with a variety…
