Great ideas Peter! I somehow forgot about King Kong and The Lost World
(1925). Glad you set me straight. As for the others, I think the sheer
number of marginally adventure genre films (those that almost fit but not
quite -either too comedic, too mythic, too whatever) will have to be put into
a seperate category entirely. They are all adventure films but not in quite
the same pulp-comic way the Adventurers theme portrays. I'll keep you posted
on this.

Remember to post those pictures at Christian's site. He has the perfect
setting for a repository of "adventurous" projects, no pun intended. As for
slowly stockpiling bricks, tell me about it. If I could have only one LEGO
wish it would be for the S@H club to sell individual elements from any set.
Can you imagine being able to order 100 green arms or a box of 500 2x4 tan
bricks? Now that would be a perfect world.
