I'm now collecting all Adventurers sets, thanks to you. Ha. I was able to nab this set and Pontoon Plane together for less than 25 bucks on eBay. So much fun!
Yes, you can't have enough floppy armed skeletons! Also, can't have enough double seated car cockpits :-) I'm equally excited to see the return of this great piece in the upcoming Hidden Side theme. I love how you mentioned this in the review. Many would consider it a juniorized part, but without it, it's really hard to get two minifigs next to eachother in such a small space.
Agreed! I was so happy to see them bring that car body piece back... now they just need to make a modern style version that would work with Speed Champions. That would really be sweet!
I have very fond memories of this set. I can barely remember having the fully built set, but I have a lot of nostalgia for some of the more interesting pieces, like those printed pillars.
As always a fun journey into the past. I absolutely love that you introduce sets from the past. In summary: A new video of you and the day is saved. :)
I love this set so much, sadly I don't have this set but I loved it so much that I made it with my own bricks, the only differences are the colleurs. Thx for the video man your the best Lego review guy in the world, I can't wait to see your next retrospective of adventurers 🙂🙂😎
Jamie, thi has been so much fun to watch! as they are really fun Adventures! and I wish Lego would bring this theme back! it's great! but I guess at least we can see what you've got to share! the minifigs are cool and the builds are interesting! LegoLove this! Vickie
Thanks so much, Vickie! Glad you’re having fun with it! I, too, REALLY wish Lego would bring Johnny and the gang back, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Thanks again for watching! 😎👍
Чувак, спасибо тебе огромное за твои видео, мне так приятно их смотреть, так так такие же наборы были и у меня в детстве, главное что рассказывая о них ты замечаешь те же детали, что и я будучи ребёнком, blast from the past, great moves, keep it up, proud of you, much LUV
I'm on your side, when it comes to the names. And that said, I grew up with the names Pippin Reed and Dr. Kilroy for example. Still the weather related names are just much cooler. Some great pieces in this set. Esspecially the printed columns. I also think the silver knifes are kinda cool pieces. Unfortunally the silver of those and the swords from back then tend to scratch off their silver coloring... Another awesome review :-)
Thanks! Yeah, I realized after recording that I should’ve said ‘the names I grew up with’ instead of ‘original names’, since they weren’t the same around the globe. And I love the chrome knives - luckily these are in pretty good condition. I do have a few old lightsaber hilts that have had the chrome worn off, though. Thanks again for watching! 😎👍
Again great video as always. Binged watched all of your episodes over the last two weeks! (Western being my favourite so i can't wait for more of those). I would have a couple of questions: 1. If it's not to much work for you would you be open to speedbuilds of the given sets? 2. I know they might be considered new sets but how about Indiana Jones? Would love to see that! Anyways great work again and keep it up! 👍🏻
That’s awesome to hear! I actually just acquired my first set for season 2 of the Wild West Retrospective, so that one is definitely on the way! As for your questions, I’d definitely like to do more speedbuilds, but at the moment I’m kind of limited by the space on my phone (since that’s what I use to film with), and soeedbuilds take a LOT of space, lol. If I do them, I’ll probably keep them separate from the reviews, though. And Indy is DEFINITELY on my to-do list. I’m not opposed to newer set reviews, as long as they’re cool and haven’t already been reviewed to death. The Indy sets came out before a lot of Lego reviewers started on UA-cam, so I think they deserve a good, high quality look. Thanks again for watching! 😎👍
The corner stamp on the back used to have a point value printed on it here in Denmark. I'm not entirely sure what the point (da-dum-tji) was - something about getting a discount on LEGO or something. I'm not too crazy about the face prints in these figs, but I'm really loving that theres so many printed pieces in the set. The trap is great! I agree that this isn't the greatest set in the theme, but it does have some nice features. Thanks for sharing this - I'm really enjoyin this series! :-)
Definitely a ton of prints! Can you imagine getting that many in such an inexpensive set these days? Unheard of! And I’m glad you’re enjoying it - thanks so much for watching! 😎👍
I bought one from from e planet x, an online hobby store in the UK for 49.99. I think thats the cheapest I'll find anywhere. Ebay has them for over 100.
I think Lego was probably just trying to introduce some new characters in the Jungle theme, since we had all the same heroes. I always wondered why they never brought the original Sam Sinister back...
@@TrikBrix HOW COULD THEY FORGET HIM!? HE'S BARON FKING BON VON! IM TRIGGERED! I'm kidding ;P But seriously though if we speak on pointless Lego Adventures logic, Baron wouldn't miss this piece of juicy treasure. Doesn't look like him. He always was for treasures, i mean look at 3 adventures. Egypt, Dino Island and OE. But i'd like to pretend that this guy is his cousin or brother from another mother and another surname.
TrikBrix My uncle bought a house for rent and he found the sets there I go back to organizing The pieces because I knew there was more sets if I organize them again when I’m all done I’ll show you what all the sets look like
have this set and I would say it's a poor man's Amazon ancient ruins lol as it uses those printed pillar pieces which were superb cool and this set was a cheap way to get them
Great analysis! When it comes to the treasure pieces in the adventure sets, rather than seeing them as "decoy" treasures, you could also see them as the real treasure, but temporarily stored in other safe-holdings. Since mythical villains like Hotep and Achu are often seen in person in these smaller sets, that could imply that they are also following the heroes, and/or traveling with their treasures, trying to return them to their safest resting places, since they know the adventurers are after them. Just a different interpretation.
Hm, the car doesn't do it for me. While I appreciate the more off road character compared to the desert vehicles and see the intention of the designer to make something different, the lack of any grill piece makes it look a bit dull. But that's just me. There were also Egypt sets of the same size with less desirable cars. The shrine and its printings definitely justify it.
I think some sort of vehicle was necessary for this set, but you’re right - it would’ve looked better with a grille. Luckily, that’s a pretty easy modification. 😊 Thanks again for watching!
There are definitely better cars in the theme, but at least this one isn’t like some of the polybag cars we saw in the desert theme, lol! 😄 Thanks for watching! 😎👍
This is one of the first lego sets i ever owned, beginning a lifelong obession with those funny skeleton figs.
I'm now collecting all Adventurers sets, thanks to you. Ha. I was able to nab this set and Pontoon Plane together for less than 25 bucks on eBay. So much fun!
That’s so awesome! Collecting all the sets is certainly an adventure in itself - best of luck to you!
And thanks for watching! 😎👍

😄 Well, I’m glad to hear that! Thanks for watching! 😎👍
Another great video, you consistently impress me.
Thanks, Steven! I’m glad you enjoyed it, and your kind words are always appreciated! 😎👍
I would love a rerelease of these sets
It is great to see the lady adventurer back! Awesome job!
Agreed! And thank you! Glad you liked it! 😎👍
You’re right about it being too bad they didn’t continue sequential maps. It was a really neat feature of the Egypt line

Amazing work and quality. Each set in this series felt complete,but was a bonus to add onto another set.
Thank you! My only wish is that the Jungle subtheme had more sets like this to collect... a few more small/medium sets would’ve been nice.

the south American adventurers sets are my personal favorite. it looks so cool. wish I had some.
They are super cool... definitely worth collecting if you have the opportunity to do so!
I'll try to when I get the chance

Just purchased this set on eBay today!
I keep taking the greeting "welcome back, Maniacs" personally. My username based on my childhood growing up with the LEGO Mania of the 90's.
Again great video as always. Binged watched all of your episodes over the last two weeks! (Western being my favourite so i can't wait for more of those). I would have a couple of questions:

That spare tire is so handy cause I could only find four in my giant ancient bin of LEGO.
WOW!That's really cool!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching! 😎👍

TrikBrix yeah, it’s incredible! I’m wondering what changed since we get so many stickers now!?
My guess is that it’s cheaper/easier... probably the same reason they now use pearl gold & silver instead of chrome. 😕
TrikBrix yeah, I was hoping it was something about freedom of creativity, but it’s probably true about money. Sigh!
Great video again!
Thanks! And thanks for watching! 😎👍
Remember me when you get 1,000 subscribers ,also great video.
I sure will! Thanks so much! Glad you liked it! 😎👍

Nice find! Congrats! 😎👍
@@TrikBrix thanks. I also got the the Expedition balloon, but had to make some offers before getting it for like 130.00. Kinda newish
I noticed there's no Baron Von Baron in Jungle sets but in others does.
I wonder why.
I think Lego was probably just trying to introduce some new characters in the Jungle theme, since we had all the same heroes. I always wondered why they never brought the original Sam Sinister back...

But i'd like to pretend that this guy is his cousin or brother from another mother and another surname.
I have this one :)
Dope
I love adventures
Do you have any orient expedition sets ?
I find it sad that many of these sets have now doubled or even tripled in price in only 4 years.
Did you get this on amazon
Today I’m organizing all the pieces that I got from a huge 80s legal hall here’s a link to it www.flickr.com/photos/160499708@N03/
Wow! You got some awesome pieces and parts there! All those classic spacemen! I’m a bit jealous... 😄👍

I used to own this set
I really wish that they never add the skeleton or count the skeleton as a minifigure and more like an accessory or whatever
Give this comment a like if you think Jamie should review Dino island sets
There's something off about the car! Not sure I like it
While I don’t actively dislike it, I can agree that it’s certainly not as iconic as the original Scorpion Tracker.
Those printed bricks are so cool! Good review
Agreed! And thanks for watching! 😎👍
@@TrikBrix The production value in these review of yours is so high! Hope you find time some day to make more reviews, I am eagerly awaiting. :)
Its good set but i dont like the car
There are definitely better cars in the theme, but at least this one isn’t like some of the polybag cars we saw in the desert theme, lol! 😄 Thanks for watching! 😎👍

Dead Joke but i don't care
