Hi all

I was thinkering about what next destination for Adventurers can be. We already
have 1998 Desert theme (Egypt) and 1999 Jungle theme (Maya/Inkas/Amazon). What's
common between them? Temples, ruins, natives (OK, if mummies can be treated as
Egypt natives ;-) ).

It was some thread on the Lugnet about Polar theme for Adventurers. It can be
very nice sets (all in white) in this theme but I do not think that it is very
possible from TLG point of view: no nice temples, no interesting ruins, no
impressive natives. Of course, may be I am wrong ;-)

My personal opinion is that next destination will be Central or South-East Asia:
something close to 1) India/Tybet; 2)China and 3)Cambodia/Thailand/Laos/Vietnam.
Here we have a lot of ruins and temples. Some interesting natives can be found
here too.

Any another ideas?

Play well

(...) I think that an Atlantis theme would be very groovy. The Adventurers could walk around in those big bulky diving suits, you know the ones with the big ol' bubble helmet, and there could be a Nautilus-ish type submarine. Oh yeah, we could also (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Well, I'd love to see more focus on the WWI era vehicles, especially if there were military vehicles like early tanks and so forth. It may have been me who suggested that they go to the arctic, but that's just so that Lego would have sets (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) Let's see: Raiders of the lost ark starts in Latin America ("amazone theme") and ends up in Egypt ("desert") The last crusade starts in the central US ("western") and ends up in Jordan ("desert", well sort of) Temple of doom starts in China (...) (25 years ago, 22-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)
