One of the things I'm really sad about, is that there are no new "past"
themes, subthemes, or sets for next year. Adventurers,Pirates, Wild West
and Castle are all gone, or at least don't have any new sets . Insted we
have Alpha Team(a subtheme of town?), Harry Potter, Movie Maker, Life on
Mars(a subtheme of space?), and Star Wars, all set in the present or future.
Why no more past stuff? I don't know, but it really irks me. But never
fear, fellow adventurers! It looks like the Adventurers theme will live on
in the Movie Maker sets.

The LOM seems to be a return to the feel, if not the look, of classic space.
AT is another of lego's movie based themes (and subthemes). Time
Crusers/Twisters was the first (Back to the Future parts 1,2,and 3, Bill and
Ted,ect), Adventurers was the second (the three Indinia Jones and two
Jrassic Park
movies), and now Alpha Team (James Bond, ect). That makes three, six if you
count the Movie Maker, Star Wars, and Harry Potter themes.

| (...) Sorry - got to be picky here, Star Wars is probably the oldest era of all Lego sets - it was after all set "Long long ago in a galaxy far far away". Apologies - going away now. Andrew. (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.adventurers)
