I’ve been reading the other replies to your post. I like the idea of
Atlantis, but I think the idea was (over)done by Disney with their movie just
a few years ago. Time travel should be left to the Time-Cruisers (Twisters).
Of course, this is not to say that the Adventurers theme is dead.
Now, where else in the world could they travel to? Well.... how about these
suggestions: (in no particular order)
• Australia: We have Crocs already. New parts could include: Kangaroos,
Koalas, Lizards, Aboriginies, etc. (Crikey! Isn’t Johnny Thunder supposed to
be from Oz anyway?)
• North America: Ties to the Western and Native American themes; How about
a Grizzly bear? (a polar bear in BROWN), Wolves, Eagles, etc. Canadian
timberline, eh?
• Europe: Spain / France / Germany / Holland / Denmark / Great Britain:
Lots of ties to Castles, Windmills, half-timbered houses, etc. (How about an
adventure in Billund?) Also... let’s not forget Greece / Italy, etc. Any
simple set with some good ancient/medieval architecture should be a good
seller. (On that note, a “UCS” version of a historic building/monument would
also be a welcome treat!)
• Japan: Bring back the Ninjas, Samurais, fish accents on roofs, etc.
(These sets always seem to bring high prices on Ebay.)
• African Jungle: Gorillas, Lions, Hippos would be new and welcome parts.
A horse with stripes can become a Zebra. Let Johnny go on a Safari!
• Antarctica: Bring back some of those Arctic suits. How about an
Icebreaker ship? Penguins, anyone? (Perhaps Alpha Team has taken this idea
already.)
• Pacific Islands: With subtle ties to Pirates, Islanders, Tikis, Palm
trees, Sailing (and Steam) ships, Clipper planes, etc.
These are a few of my thoughts. Most are economical ideas, as TLC should
still have the molds for parts requiring a color change or other minor
modification. Come on, TLC...feel free to use my ideas to produce something
simple and neat. All I ask in return is one set of each of these you produce!
:-) In the meantime, I’ll press on with my own Adventurers MOCs.
Back to building...
Nelson
P.S. “Underwater Thunder”... Hmmmm...

All good ideas, and
others can be
found here. Generally I think that potential new themes will be different from
previous themes. So Japan, Europe-castle and Antarctic is unlikely.
