I fianally got to see the full collection of Dino sets up close today...I
like the Island racer and Island hopper as well as the treaded jeep, but the
rest of the designs left me w/ a luke warm impression...I guess I wil watch
eBay for Dinosaurs or trade for them until the sets are dirt cheap...
I think adventuers should return to it's strongpoint...
ancient cultures like Rome or Greece or even Atlantis as many here have
commented on...
Given the close parallels between this theme and Lucasfilm and Speilberg
projects, I think Adventurers could accomplish what Time Twisters never
quite captured...a plausable cross pollination of themes w/ new
parts/elements. I think Adventurers has some theme weaknesses, but, for the
most part is a great way for Lego to wrap town, western, Castle, freestyle,
and Pirates into one package...so many unrealized possibilties.
I think that Adventuers could maintain the ancient culture adventures w/ sub
themes visiting the wonders of India or perhaps Saudi Arabia. There are a
wealth of possibilities in the culture and history of India. I think that
temples, shrines and ancient booby-trapped fortresses would be mere
modifications of already develoed ideas from the Egypt and Amazon sets.
After seeing some young Indiana Jones movie reruns, these possibilities seem
logical. As mentioned by many others, Arabian Knights would be
cool...Turbans, camels, interesting conical domes and genies would be great
additions. Of course, you can still have all the usual suspects, chests,
snakes,spiders, scorpions, et al., but Tigers, lons and camels added. With
the advent of the arct
