I totally agree, LEGO needs to bring back a brand new, unlicensed adventurers theme. In general I think LEGO needs more original themes, they've become a little bit too reliant on big IPs imo and in the past, they're original themes have always stood out to me as some of they're very best (Pharaohs Quest, Power Miners, Pirates, Castle, Monster Hunters, Atlantis, etc.).
100%. Love the magic that these original themes bring to the wider world of LEGO. It's unhindered fun and silliness, and I'm absolutely here for it.
Lego needs to make more unlicensed themes in general. They just completely stopped making new unlicensed stuff ever since Nexo knights
I think it would be a great campaign to do like a retro style series of bringing back their best ever themes, like do a new set from each. Like exo force, Mars mission, bionicle, and so forth
@@The.ZB. besides the big themes like Ninjago, Monkie Kid (not even available in most stores in the west), City and Friends, and stuff like Creator there is next to nothing that is NOT licensed. Hidden Side seemed to be the last holdout. MK is the most recent one and it's already in its third year!
@@vaimantobe3034 what about dreamzzz theme?
I wan't to buy the entire theme now 😂I'm not normally into old retired sets but........
But Adventurers is truly on another level! I so desperately want the other sets of this line too. The Orient Expedition stuff is especially awesome...
I miss this theme. I never had any sets but I looked at them for hours in my LEGO catalogues.
Ah, the LEGO catalogues. I spent so many hours pouring over every details of those. Glad I wasn't alone!
Johnny Thunder sets remain maybe my favorite original Lego IPs. Never had as many sets as I would have liked (kids don’t exactly have much Lego money). Thanks for the throwback, love taking a look at past sets!
Johnny Thunder and LEGO Adventurers is LEGO at it's absolute best!
The Adventures sets always fascinated me because of how they were built and how fun they look to have
Yeah! There's some really great looking sets in this theme
Amazing theme, so weird to see so many guns in these old sets since the closest we usually get are some star wars blasters
That's a good point, ha! Things have certainly changed a lot lately.
i always love these videos, not just for how unique and reminiscent of another time the sets you review are, but for the presentation as well
Thank you! I figure that there are plenty of reviews of this set out there, so I really wanted to make this video special and give it a reason to exist! Hopefully people can learn something from this video that the others couldn't offer.
It feels like the older sets have more features
Undoubtedly. Granted they're quite simple, but I feel LEGO just made sets that were more fun a few decades ago.
A great set! And the only time that white BURP was ever released. A shame there aren’t more, it’s a great MOC piece.
I'm very surprised that we still haven't seen the return of the white BURP either! The arctic City line sure seemed the perfect place to bring it back
Wonderful video! The Adventurers line as a whole is my favorite theme Lego has produced, and I have fond memories of this set in particular. There was a kid down the street who had the Temple of Mount Everest set, while I had a couple of the smaller Orient Expedition sets, such as the Elephant Caravan and the Secret of the Tomb. Thus I got to bring over my sets and we played the Everest portion of the board game!
Fortunately I’m in a position now that I’ve been able to revisit my love of this theme by collecting them all (presently ~70% complete), and I look forward to the day I’ll be able to play the full game with friends/family with all the sets built out!
On the notion of Lego returning to this theme, I completely agree with you in that desire. While the Indiana Jones stuff is nice in its own right, Johnny and the gang deserve a modern treatment!!
That's gonna be an epic game night one day - you'll have to invite me over too, ha! Best of luck with the collection though. This is certainly a theme I'm considering putting more money into too. It's such a special part of LEGO's history.
Love these Lego throwback episodes! Hope they stay in the lineup!
Really appreciate it xtenastic! Don't worry, I'm a sucker for this old stuff - there'll be lots more to come! I was planning my next big retrospective video today :D
I love the fact that old lego sets had specail baseplates that you don't see anymore in new lego sets. Super cool.
Some of those old raised baseplate sets were really fun
My mom got me that set 21 years ago for Christmas I absolutely loved that set so much
That's awesome! Such a great set
That was by far my favorite lego theme, I remember playing with all these set when I was young. I got theme all except for the China part of the theme. The boat, car and mongtgolfier were so good.
Adventurers was S-tier stuff. I hope I can collect more sets from the theme in the future!
I’ve only ever seen this theme online but any “exploration” theme definitely tickles my nostalgia for Indiana Jones :)
Definitely curious to see how the new Indiana Jones sets look if the rumors are true. :o
@@CheeseyStudios Agreed
@@CheeseyStudios i didnt knew there are rumors thats amazing. i love the Indiana Jones lego. I thougth lego wouldnt make it cause there was a lot of Military stuff. But they could Focus on the Temples i guess
This was the only orient expedition set I ever owned as a kid. Loved it. I still have Nyang's sherpa hat, the map tile, and Johnny Thunder's updated figure head
I do love the special maps - that was really cool they made one for each location!
That set is very interesting, The design is very unique! I hope LEGO brings this series of sets back!
I hope so too! This theme was really something special
Watching this video, I just realized that someone had actually given me the parts to this set a long time ago. When I was sorting through my bin of parts, I found those medium orange elephant tails, the evil looking skeletons, and a lot of the roof pieces including the yellow dish thing still built.
Just thought that was really funny.
Oh hey, nice! Thankfully this set becomes pretty easy to identify as you won't be finding those elephant trunks anywhere else lol!
Wow, to think this was only a few years before I was born, the building techniques have evolved so much!
Sets are so much different now! This did have a lot of specialized parts for sure, but I think we get so many more rounded and smooth pieces today. Everything here is just so blocky
Recently put this set back together, all I'm missing is the sherpa's backpack! These early 2000s Adventures sets were peak Lego for me as a kid, they really did and still do mean a lot to me.
Adventurers was so cool. Sad that I missed out on it as a kid! I'd love to pick up more Orient Expedition sets at some point
Can’t wait to see what it looks like. I’m watching the vid right now
It's a fun one for sure! All of the Orient Expedition sets are fantastic
LEGO needs to bring back old unlicensed themes with New and better designs. Thanks for sharing this set review 🎉
No problem! I sure hope we see now unlicensed stuff too
There's something very attractive about these old sets. Love your vids dude!
Thank you!
Now that is a lego master.
Fantastic video! This is one of the best themes! Also really like your insights on how rare a piece is.
Classic set. This is an icon of my childhood.
Great stuff to grow up on!
Man, it isn't just nostalgia talking anymore, imo.
Lego was THE toy, the Company went through tough times, experimenting all sorts of things, and then it came back stronger than ever, with the Lego brick becoming a cultural phenomenon around the globe.
We're the ones that grew up experiencing all these excellent yet short-lived themes, IPs, reboots, successors in the 2000s and, as a Bionicle fan myself, it's safe to say we all kept Lego from going bankrupt.
Point is, they EARNED our trust and love with these amazingly ingenious sets that we hold dear 20+ years later. That's a feeling that I think was lost in the past few years.
Even modular buildings, a much loved line that's still around, lost a lot of its charm.
I'm not saying I am (nor we are) growing out of Lego, I'm still very much interested in what the company's doing and I'm both buying newly released sets and getting some old ones I couldn't afford back then.
I'm a proud AFOL nowadays, yet I just think that somethig was lost in the process.
Smaller sets/builds still have that spark (the 90 years of play mini builds are excellent, for example), it's the overabundance of big and expensive flagship sets that's becoming almost irritating, to be frank (I haven't bought a single one besides the Colosseum, for a bunch of simple reasons, being born in Rome and a classical literature graduate).
Maybe only Technic is yet to be affected by this change, as many recent sets were just great and better than anything that came before.
I don't know, I just miss when with 20-30€ I could get so much more with so much less and maybe, once every Christams, that 50€+ set was the standout for the whole year.
Your enthusiasm and presentation makes you one of my favorite channels right onw. Glad you popped up in my recommended.
Thank you! I'm sure glad you're enjoying my videos :D
This set was always so simple but I still always loved it as a kid. Still do. I always wished I had the two major set pieces for the India and China expeditions.
I just managed to get my hands on the Dragon Palace, and it's so cool!
I just wan t to take a moment to appreciate how much effort is on one video. top notch stuff
love this set and your videos!
Thank you! ❤
This was my first Lego set and I have to say seeing you talk about this really have me a great comfy feeling.
Glad I could bring back some good memories!
Johnny Thunder is my favorite Lego character of all time, the Adventures themes have such nostalgia for me.
They're the best. Wish I had gotten more of these as I kid, but I was just too young 😭
Adventurers was a great theme which covered many unique locations, I do hope that they bring back this theme for the 100th anniversary of Lego.
I also wanted to mention that Lord Sam Sinister in this set looks allot like Baron Von Barron from the earlier subthemes of this theme. (Just check both of them BrickLink and you will see what I mean) I have seen a theory were Sam Sinister is actually Barron's true identity, but that theory falls apart since they were both included in multiple sets together. My personal headcannon is that Lord Sam Sinister was the funder of Barron's expeditions, but when the expeditions were failures because of Johnny Thunder, Sam Sinister decided to stop funding them. Because of this, Baron, for a lack of a more family friendly term, Murdered Sam Sinister, and took on his identity in order to continue funding his expeditions, which explains why he is named Sam Sinister in the Orient Expedition sets.
Anyways keep up the great work on all your videos!
That's quite interesting! I always thought they were the same character too, but I didn't realize they showed up in sets together. I'm sure LEGO has some lore on it hidden deep away somewhere...
Since he has two different names, I prefer to call him Baron Sam "Sinister" Von Barron, with Sinister being more of a nickname.
It certainly is an interesting conundrum, and the Hunted House set that came out a few years back has some more to say on the issue! The mansion in question was the abode of Baron Samuel von Barron, who is established to be the character from the desert line who absconded with the Re-Gou Ruby. It is also firmly established that this is the same character who appears in the three other Adventurers sub-themes. However the question of Slyboots (aka? Sam Sinister) only thickens, as the mansion contains a skeleton which may be the remains of Sly... This is interesting because it seems to suggest a falling-out between them two, additionally it is explicitly stated that Sly was the brains of the Desert operation. In any case, we know there is an answer to this riddle somewhere, because the Lego Detective (Minifigures Series 5) is known to have solved “the Sam Sinister Switcheroo” case!
You just introduced me to this theme and I can't get enough.
I need to get my hands on more! It's been too long.
God I had this set, it was so cool having a baseplate to play with.
Baseplates are the best
Pretty awesome been getting some of these sets in bulks
Ok this may be my new favorite old theme..
You've definitely gotta snag a set or two if you can! These are all so good. Even the smallest Adventurers sets are bangers lol
Well.... now I have too . Lol
Yay you finished it! Hope you got most of the pieces at a reasonable price.Have really been looking forward to this video.
Yeah! Prices weren't too bad and I thankfully wasn't missing too much. I've been looking forward to reviewing another Adventures set for a long time too. Sadly this is the last one I own, but that's nothing a little Bricklinking won't solve :)
This theme was my highlight as a kid and got me into nature and exploring . I had a few small sets and the India temple . This was always a want but maybe not so important , today I don't understand why little me did not wished harder for it or saved money up my self
Such a cool theme. Wish I had had some of these as a kid too!
So that "trap door" is technically another trap that pushes the figure back like the axes do; that said ever since I've had the set I still think a trap door is more fun!
That explains a lot actually! The mechanism did feel a little off to be a trapdoor.
I am just returning to Lego, I had most of the Orient Expedition sets as a kid but sold them all as I got older. Now I Wish I had kept them. I am starting to buy some of the ones I never owned earlier. Great video!
I'm glad you've come back around! It's a good thing too that most of these are still pretty reasonable to pick up again as they aren't tooooo old (yet)
That’s so cool! The plane is my favorite! 🤩
These Adventurers sets are always fantastic!
@@CheeseyStudios agreed
This set looks fantastic!
I really like this one too. That roof is an especially great design
What a nice set! Lots of rare pieces, and the Johnny Quest series has such I cool line. I hope you review more of them in the future!
I'm certainly eager to get some more of these if I can!
I love the video! I never realized how much nostalgia is in these Orient Expedition sets. But I think you could have overlooked that this exact set used to be a board game! I own this set, and it comes with additional tiles and playing cards (or that might be the more elaborate version). Hence, the reason why this set has so many gear options is because you must collect them in order to avoid the many traps and obstacles on your way to the sword. I think this even applied to the other 2 big sets (the indian temple and the chinese one).
Sadly the previous owner must have lost all the cards, as I don't have any :c
Hair appreciation comment! Like to support Caleb's consistently perfect hair!
Ha! I love this comment xD Thank you!
That is a really awesome set!
I know, right? Would love to see this theme brought back
Amazing!
I love looking at old sets because I wasn’t even born back then. The oldest set I have is an Indiana Jones set, it’s like a boat chase. I already can’t wait for another one of your videos to come out. Love the video, keep up the great content 👍
Really glad you like these! Indiana Jones had some great sets too.
@@CheeseyStudios Thanks, I’m going to be going to a Brickfest, so I’ll keep an eye out for these types of sets. Especially the figures!
Great video, as always👍
Thank you!
I got the yeti hideout and the aero nomad but this temple is quite the star of the quest for the golden sword : imagine that place build somehow on the top of the world !
Yeti Hideout is definitely on my list to pickup - that one's so fun! I'd love to see a MOC of this set built into a proper mountain too
I dunno why people look down on those big rock pieces. I always found them extremely useful for building scenery, since I didn't have a ton of gray bricks to build cliffs and walls with.
They're totally great for inner support and building up larger structures!
I loved the themes Lego had back then nowadays there not as good but there still pretty good I'd still buy them
Love the review videos 👍
The aesthetics might not be up to par with modern sets, but these sets were just so much more fun to play with! Loads of accessories, cool functions, fun parts... They had a lot going for them
1:10 i had all three, tomb, yeti and baloon sets as a kid, but lost many parts and figures, also traded with friends and stuff xd
Yeah, I know I'm missing lots of bits and pieces from my earliest kits for similar reasons haha
This theme was always great! Always also makes me think of the Indiana Jones theme which would be great to see some videos on
Got this set for my 9th birthday was and still is so cool
Adventurers is just so good
Great lego adventures series
Thank you! I sure hope I can get to more in the future
Yes, that will be very nice
This is awesome!
LEGO did a great job with the Adventurers line!
Such a cool little set
It really is. I just happened to get the instruction manual for the set today!
Very cool! And congrats. It’s a great shelf piece too!!
For some reason youtube didn't let me know of your uploads for a few months so I guess it's catch up time. I realy love this theme era - it was my childhood and there's so much creativity between the three locales. A modest sized temple works on a mountain setting like this too, very discreet.
Why does CZcams do this, RIP. Glad you found me again though! Hopefully your catchup was enjoyable. This sub theme was amazing. I really need to find more Orient Expedition sets.
If I had to guess it's probably because minecraft's not really my thing so all the missed videos make the algorithm think you've killed my cat or something. But who really knows!
AMAZING work you've done! Good job! I really like your Minecraft Lego videos and I have a suggestion, could you please do the nether warped forrest 🤔 Cuz I think it will look very good with your Lego master skills! 🤩
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this one. I've actually been spending the last week working on a Warped Forest :O
I love this video! keep it up!
Thank you!
This is cool!
Excellent video my man, I absolutely love the whole Adventurers theme. It's absolutely my favorite production lego theme by far! I'd love an inclusion of all the sets that are made reference to in the haunted mansion (fairgrounds collection) set. Building that recently brought me to very manly nostalgic tears lol. What's the word on the discord by the way?
Thank you! The mansion had so many great Easter eggs for sure. I've decided to forgo a Discord for now, but may revisit the idea in the future.
Wish I had this set
This one is super fun. If it's a bit out of your price range, I would definitely suggest this one as a an alternative as it's a lot more affordable and still plenty cool: www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=7412-1&name=Yeti%27s%20Hideout&category=%5BAdventurers%5D%5BOrient%20Expedition%5D#T=S&O={%22iconly%22:0}
Wow that's soo cool
Yeah, I love this one!
I love these older sets! In many ways they were just better. I like that you point out some of the rare pieces, not many people do that, but I find it interesting :) Are you planing on doing some more Harry Potter related videos?
So glad you like the rare parts! They're always my favorite too. I really want to get back into making more Harry Potter stuff. I know it's a bit late, but maybe some reviews of the summer wave of sets would be a good place to start?
@@CheeseyStudios I wouldn't say it's late, considering the next wave is still a couple of months away. I mean I'd definitely watch them!
I still have the catalog in which the Orient Expedition subtheme appeared, and I always dreamed having it, but LEGO was painfully expensive in my country by that time, and as a child, it was even difficult to get near a store who sold LEGO in the first place. What I liked about this theme is that it had a board game! Can you explain it in other video? Do you have plans for doing the other 2 main sets reviews?
Now I can afford LEGO more easily (thanks, humble teacher job!) and I could get a modern Johnny Thunder minifigure at a minifigure specialized mini-store with a nice backpack, a magnifying glass, a nice hat, and for some reason, a chameleon XD XD
The modernized Johnny Thunder was such a treat, ha! Unfortunately I was unable to pick up the game pieces, though I will continue to look in the future. There aren't many surviving copies left sadly. The other two big sets are definitely on my wishlist! Hopefully I can pick them up one day too.
wow cool set
Yeah! I really like this one too :D
I've been trying to look for inspiration on how I can make reviews for my channel and stumbled across yours, very unique style! And I love your lighting, any tips?
Lighting is key indeed! Basically I have one big overhead light that's probably about the size of the table I use. This makes the light super consistent and it's pretty well diffused, meaning the light is really soft and you don't get harsh shadows beneath the build. To introduce some dimension to the bricks, I also have a light angled off to the side. If you look closely, you'll see the left side is brighter. Super simple setup, but works really well.
Thank you very much!
That set is cool
These Adventurers sets are quite fantastic!
Would love to see you and R.R slugger have a build-off
A battle for the ages xD
I think the Himalayas sets might be my favourite out the three sub-subthemes from Orient Expedition. sure the other two locations have a bit more to their sets, but I really like the aesthetic of these ones (possibly because they remind me of Tintin In Tibet, I think Orient Expedition in general has a lot of Tintin vibes).
They're really fun! I want to get the Yeti's hideout eventually.
If I was ever to try and collect Adventurers sets it would probably be these ones
Lego needs to remake this set
I'd love an Adventurers reboot!
Great video :)
Thank you!
Nice!
I might make a video on my channel of a brick link order is ok if I modify your format for that vid?
By all means, go right ahead! I really appreciate you asking, that's really thoughtful.
This set looks Awesome, and the parts in this set are really great! Until now I kind of ignored These sets, but now I’m thinking of buying one, and also, what are your thoughts about yard sale hunting, like hunting for lego at a yard sale, because I found 20 dollars worth of lego for 6 dollars, in Canadian money
You can score BIG at yard sales! Some of my best LEGO finds of all time have happened at them. It's definitely worth your time to go hunting.
I sometimes wonder if you expect me to comment...
Anyway, I wish I was burn just a bit earlier just so I could experience these sets without paying a lot of money!
I feel the same way, ha! These were just phasing out as I was getting into LEGO.
The licensed stuff is cool, but my absolute favorite Lego themes were always the original/unlicensed stuff. Adventurers, Castle and Pirates were all my favorites. I understand why Indiana Jones licensed stuff took over, considering when I was 8 years old I still thought to myself “Oh Johnny Thunder is an Indiana Jones ripoff! Cool!” Lol
I'm pretty sure I thought that Indiana Jones was a Johnny Thunder ripoff back then 🤣
Correction: Sangye Dorje is not the only character in the line with that old brown hat. See the yeti set.
I'm an idiot lol
I'd like to see an 18+ style revamp of this theme.
That would be soooo cool. The OG fans would go nuts!
This would be about $48 today. That said, it probably would be more expensive due to the rising cost of plastic.
Probably D,:
Wow Wow wee sooo cool bro I like it
These sets were simply the best!
@@CheeseyStudios yeah it's very cool
There was a full tabletop game based on these sets, with stats cards for all the characters and such.
Too bad Lego dont do this anymore
Yeah, I really wish I could have gotten my hands on the game stuff for this review. Quite difficult to find these days!
That’s cool
Yeah! LEGO did such a great job with this theme. Wish I had grown up with some of these sets!
30$, that’s a steal!
Yeah, not too shabby! An inflation-adjusted price might be a bit worse, but the set still feels quite substantial
They should def redo this theme, like the 90th anniversary lion knights castle
MADE THE 1K LIKES!
Woo! Thank you!
I would love to see you remake this set or make it look better like don't get me wrong this is good set
Ghost Hunter Gunn made this amazing remake - images.app.goo.gl/WBLfbYs2G2Ewp16h9
I loved this set as a kid! Too bad you didn´t mention the game which comes with the set. I played this a lot!
Yeah, unfortunately my copy of the set didn't include the cards :(
If you are interested, I specialize in the Adventurers theme. My bricklink store is Old Is Gold Store. 😊😉
Ooh! I just gave it a look. An impressive selection indeed. Love seeing Vladek's Dark Fortress there too :o I may visit again!
MAJOR Uncharted 2 vibes from this, Esp the brown leather collared jacket.
Pretty sure there was a board game with this right? Isn’t that what the light and dark blueish grey tiles near the snow shoes are for, I think I saw that in the commercials or on the wiki….
Yeah, all three of the larger sets included board game pieces. I didn't realize that the tiles might play a role in that, but that would certainly explain their purpose! I really wish I could have gotten a copy of the game stuff, but I just wasn't able to unfortunately.
THE PLANE IS THE BEST I WANT TO GET THIS SET ONLY BECAUSE OF THE PLANE
The plane is indeed pretty epic looking, especially considering how few parts it uses!
Original themes, they always had such a charm. Lego's liscened stuff doesn't have that same charm. Even Ninjago is kind of outgrowing the originality? But I still appreciate Ninjago for what it does. Would love more simple stuff like this, just give us a random theme and give us sets. Imagine they rotated through original, non-tv show themes. Purely letting designers just go wild on one theme that year, n then that releases
Ninjago definitely has become so commercialized in the past few years. It really has become its own brand and lost the 'home-grown' feel it had at launch
yay new upload The amazing set why do I feel like you spent $300 on this
Thankfully it came in a bulk lot for free 😅 Probably cost ~ $15 to replace some missing pieces is all
That’s surprising
A bulk buy treasure! How fun! 😊
The golden age of lego
Indeed :,)
Does anyone remember the old Lollipops you could get that came with Adventurers minifigs? I distinctly remember getting one as a really young kid but I can't find anything online
Edit: nevermind, turns out the polybag just came with it lmfao; weird
Was it an 'official' LEGO lollipop? Or was this just a local thing? Sounds fascinating either way. Candy AND LEGO? Kinda the perfect combo 😂
I love orient expedition but I'm sad that the included board game is always overlooked
Yeah, I wish I could have gotten it! Very difficult to find those unfortunately
