I am so surprised and pleased by these sets! I'd thought for sure the Adventurers line was dead and gone. But they are back and in the Orient?! Wahoo! They are really bordering on an ancient theme here! The Oriental palace is stunning. It's almost (...) (22 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.ancient)

I suppose I could have used fire to actually change the shape of the plastic on the minifigs, and that would have made is still be all-LEGO. But burning LEGO seems like such a sacrilege. (...)
