Hey all,

Since LEGO never really developed this theme, this thematic area is really one for AFOLs to flesh out (like, for instance, the development of the Sea Monkeys in .aquazone). So what counts as “Underground”? Is it a particular tech level--the Rock Raiders seems in kind of a parallel sci-fi universe? Or is it anything that is, literally, underground. This could range from cavemen painting on the walls of their cave, to sappers in castle times, to the NYC subway, to some moonbase mine. Any thoughts?

"Adventurers"; etc. Maybe we need some (...) (19 years ago, 19-May-05, to lugnet.underground, FTX)
