So, is this the "Temple of Doom" installment of the Adventurers series?

The parallels (again, as with the first series) are amusing as hell.  Come to
think of it, some underground-type stuff would be cool to see in Adventurers.

Saw the boxes today at TRU (most of the entire series).  Very nice looking
mostly-green motif.  Like the sets in the first series, these use graphics all
the way around the box-- i.e., no solid colors on the side panels.  Very sharp.

The sets are definitely short on native minifigs... too bad.

This was in the SF Bay area.  Boat/idol set was $50, didn't price the others.
The large temple comes in a very thick box-- due to the baseplate, I guess.

Also: the English name of each set appears on the *front* panel (at upper
right).  Three more languages appear on the top.  (I haven't really try to
identify the new one.)

The Police boat was there as well, but I didn't see any other 99 stuff.

Go get 'em!
