Hey Everyone, One of our fellow Adventurer fans has a site that I can't plug enough. Among other things he has a section devoted to possible future subthemes for the line. His presentation and ideas are superb so go check it out at: (URL) really is (...) (27 years ago, 7-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) Yes, since the pieces are larger, and more specialized, they are going to cost more per piece. But the 'building enjoyment' tends to be directly related to the number of pieces, not their complexity. So I'd rather build a bunch with simpler (...) (27 years ago, 7-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) I felt they had poor color selection and a low piece count. Nothing that couldn't ultimately be fixed with a load of fairly standard bricks, I suppose. (...) Three sets of different size consisting of nothing but white bricks just doesn't do (...) (27 years ago, 7-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) Hooray Bruce! You said it! As far as all those extras go I would suggest using them for trade fodder. Someone like me doesn't even have a single witch or Redbeard, though I wish I did, and might be willing to get you something you need. Mark L (27 years ago, 7-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) Why do you think that price per piece did go up on the sets? Is it the "juniorization", to use your word, of the larger less building intensive pieces? And what do you mean by inspired? (...) Well we all have our opinions. Did you like the (...) (27 years ago, 7-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) Yeah, I couldn't stand that... When I got my first Blacktron I sets back in '86 or '87 I had to turn all the heads around backwards so they didn't have the same silly "I'm so happy even if you pull my arms off" look. Actually, I kinda got used (...) (27 years ago, 7-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) Hey those are great ideas! I now have to find a bunch of ninja hoods and pirate scarf hats. I hadn't even thought of the Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan bodies. Think of all the people out there shuddering at the thought of using Star Wars toys for other (...) (27 years ago, 7-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) Lego has been poor at giving us the masses of common people needed to offset the special ones. I have 20 Witch figures. 15 Cap'n Redbeards. You can only mix and match so much. I've taken to buying heads, torsos, and other bits outside my usual (...) (27 years ago, 7-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) 'Interesting' may have been a bad word-choice. I *do* like the Amazon sets. Well, the blimp is kinda goofy. Comparing Amazon to Egyptian, the Amazon sets have a higher level of juniorization, the buildings are less inspired, and the (...) (27 years ago, 7-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)
