  Have you heard any thing about 1999 exclusives in this line? How about the
rumors floating around about a year 2000 Arctic Explorer themed Adventurers
line?  Let me know if you have heard anything on these tid bits.

I haven't heard anything at all.  If anything, I've heard that the Adventurers
are on their last year (with the current trend of a two-year lifespan to
themes).

I thought the 2-year cycle was for specific products.  So the *Egyptian*
sets are on the end of their lifespan.  But there's no implication that the
Adventurers theme won't continue.  Aquazone was the first of the new themes
(I do believe), and it's still going, on the tail end of the 4th and 5th
subtheme.

If the Amazon sets are as popular as the Egyptian sets were, I would not be
surprised to see a third subtheme appear.  But I'd bet the Amazon sets
haven't done as well--they're more expensive (per piece) than the Egyptian
sets, and the monuments/architecture isn't as interesting.

I also have doubts that "Artic Adventurers" could really carry a complete
subtheme.

(...) Steve I was wondering what you specifically found uninteresting about the Amazon sets. I found them much more vibrant and alive than any other lego sets ever. I love their attempt to do a jungle. I can see your point on the architecture, (...) (25 years ago, 7-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)
