I agree, it's the same with other sets as well.

pirates were released with an enemy and both had there own logo
adventurers didnt

Pirate sub-themes can cross over easily

You could unite all of the sailors Red or Blue to fight the pirates.  Even the
Islanders fought the pirates.

Aventurers cannot (Desert-Jungle, different structure etc.)
Even if you could unite them, there was a pretty meager offering of Amazon
sets.

Adventurers minifigs are less generic from other themes such as pirates and
town where you can swap heads to make more figs

Everybody has a name, and most all of them come with every set.  How many Sam
sinisters do I need.  Gosh, I have like 9 of them.  The faces are so specific,
they can't be used in the same theme. I think they are trying to build
Identity into the themes, like sitcoms,so you care about the characters.  All
of the new themes have named characters, I'm pretty sure it started with the
time losers and carried into the Wild west.  It's pretty frustrating having a
gang of bandits made up of twins and triplets.

I'm wondering why TLG has spent so much time re-inventing the adventurers when
the first group did so well.  It's everyone's favorite (I know this is a
genralisation)If they put this much work into Ninja or Wild west, they would
still be around, Heck if they put this much work into Rock Raiders, they
wouldn't be rotting on the shelves!  Jon

most themes only release 1 sub theme from the oridganal 2 (good and bad sides)
but adventurers might not be released again in 2001


Of course i could be wrong

I dont know if this has been brought up before but has anyone else noticed how the adventurers theme is different from most of the other themes? take for example the pirates: pirates were released with an enemy and both had there own logo (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jul-00, to lugnet.adventurers)
