I can't see how the Adventurers could be a rip off of the mummy since the
first adventurers sets were release in July of 1998, and the Mummy was
released In May of 1999.  That would be some good trick eh el guapo!  Jon

Mimicking Indiana Jones and making WWII mini-figs out of adventurers is an
awesome idea! I bet that TLG based the theme on Indiana Jones and won't admit
it.
I disagree, I think that they were mooching off the potential sucess of the
movie The Mummy that I believe was released in 1998.  Have you seen it?  Very
Adventurerish throughout. Great movie. I've seen Indiana Jones and the Temple
of Doom too, and it is not as Adventurerish. I'm not entirely sure about the
1999 line, though I see a lot of things from The Lost World: Jurassic Park in
the new sets.  Is it any coincidence that we get competing hunter and
researcher teams, the concept of loading a T.rex onto a boat for transport • back
to the city, the concept of taking the Baby T. rex, a research shack that • looks
kinda like the building where the raptors attacked, etc?
