Hi All,

Hi Tom. Thanks for all the info.

The first pic also shows the new hat on the female fig (Miss Pippin Reed)
from the yeti set (7412).  Here is another pic with a side view of the hat
and a pic of Doctor Kilroy.  Notice you get black hands on her and brown
hands on him. Pretty cool!

Yeah! I wonder if Kilroy dosn't freeze in that outfit! Must be cold, since
his jacket is open at the front...

Here are pics of the other minifigs starting with the two Indian figs from
the large set 7418.  The left one is Maharaja Lallu and the other is his guard.

They look great. where did you get the Lallu name from? Are the names
printed on the boxes?

Here is a pic of Miss Pippin Reed (I like the last name...heheh), Babloo,
and Lord Sinister:

Is she related to you? I guess she is not your wife, since she isn't Mrs.
Pippin Reed! ;-)

And here is a pic of Johnny Thunder, Lord Sinister, and Doctor Kilroy:

Are the Kilroy's in 7411 and 7418 different from each other?

When it gets approved, I think you can view the whole folder at this address:

7412 Yeti Hideout
This set was 9.99 too.  It has 114 parts including the Yeti figure and Miss
Pippin in the Mongolian hat.  This set is much more interesting and has
better parts (in my opinion).  You get a small white baseplate (8x16).  You
get two white 1x4x5 half arch parts, two 1x2x4 brown arch parts, and 4 black
3x3 corner roof bricks.  You get a white triangular BURP piece and 6 - 1x1
trans lt. blue round plates.  A nice assortment of hard to find pieces and
the new hat make this a nice buy.  I think Miss Pippin's face is new too.

Yes, Miss Pippins face is new, just like Johnny Thunder and Lord
Sinister/Mr. Hates have new faces too. It seems they have all become older!

7414 Elephant Caravan
This set was 19.99 for 102 pieces!  That's not a good price per part, but
you get the dark gray elephant in this one.  You also get Babloo with a lt
gray scimitar and a red turban.  It's nice to see them bring back the
adventurer jeep in this set.  You get two of the pole lances in red in this
set and two parts in brown that I've never seen.  They are pole pieces with
a 1x2 plate on one end and a doughnut connection (like on the teepee poles)
on the other end.  This could be a interesting part to have.  My first
impression is that they would make some nice long oars for a long boat!  I
like this set even if it isn't the best buy!

7415 Aero Nomad
This is the balloon set!  It was 19.99 for 118 pieces.  The only new pieces
I could tell was the 4x4 round quarter plates in brown.  I don't think they
have been available in that color.  You get 4 of the tan curved fence pieces
in this set.  You get Johnny Thunder and Doctor Kilroy too.  It's nice to
have the dome parts and the black rigging pieces available again.  There is
a nice white string piece that I think is new.  This string is available in
the Yeti set also.  It's a 3 inch white string with the stud connectors on
the ends.

How is the construction of the balloon? Is it solid?

7418 Scorpian Palace
This is the large set.  It has 358 pieces and sells for 49.99.  It has the
light gray elephant.  You get 5 minifigs: Kilroy, Sinister, Thunder,
Maharaja, and the guard.  There are a number of white arches with this.  You
get the rust columns, the rust fence parts (straight and curved.  You also
get an assortment of parts in dark blue.  There are 1x plates, 2x plates, 1x
tiles, and some other small parts.  There are two large white columns plus
the dome pieces.  You get two gray scimitars and two yellow ones.  You get
the new round disk parts and tubans in white and black.  This is the set to
own and you will probably need a couple of them. haha

I didn't find the 7417 set available.  I'm looking forward to getting it
when it comes out.
I hope these pics and the information is helpful to those who haven't gotten
access to the new sets.
enjoy,
Tom

Any information about the Adventurers is helpful. Can't wait to get the sets
myself.

Thanks
Kecia

  Pics and Comments on New Adventurer Sets
 
Hi All, I found most of the new adventurer sets at my local TRU today. I'm really excited about these new sets. I hope I'm not repeating any past comments, but I was surprised at what the new sets have to offer. First of all, we get two colors of (...) (22 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.adventurers)
