Expand The modern pith helmet with hair piece is now in Mia's jungle cube - set 41437. It's available in B&P for 2,56€, element # 6322890, design ID 72131. Pretty expensive, but worth a buy. Quote
The Reader Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 CITY has two new adventurers: Jessica Sharpe from sets 60264 and 60301 (she appears in The LEGO City adventures season 2 episode 15: YT video). Larry Jones from the German Lego Magazine 34/2021 (YT video). Quote
TeriXeri Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 I used to collect those City mags , but it seems since 2020, Netherlands they changed from 12 to 6 issues per year , so now not all listed magazine gifts (listed on brickset for example) actually are released here anymore Quote

The best in recent times. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted October 3, 2021 Author Posted October 3, 2021 One to look out for! I like the new parts that arrive so we can build figures. Do we want a thread for Adventurer parts from Other Themes, like Historic Themes has? Quote

Peppermint_M Posted March 20, 2022 Author Posted March 20, 2022 It has been a while. Anyone have any ideas for things they'd like to see around here? More chances to earn tags? A building game? Further MOC indexing? Trying to drive some creative activity instead of hanging about in the doldrums and the negative spaces. Quote
TeriXeri Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) As for action themes, still have a long term plan to turn my Nexo figs into seperate knight factions at one point, which Ninjago figs could also fit in with their colors, and use parts from Nexo sets that don't fit into Castle-ish builds into other purposes like a Town or Space when suitable. The 3-in-1 Castle and upcoming 90th year anniversary Castle Rumor just accelerated it a bit. Starting to see a collection as a whole instead of just a display of sets , to me, is what makes LEGO a lot more special over some static display statues. The sorting/organizing is the biggest hassle, once getting past the mental step of taking sets apart and mixing their parts. Action theme set wise, the next hype that'll spark discussion probably will be the next wave of Ninjago, and probably Monkie Kid a few months after. Edited March 20, 2022 by TeriXeri Quote

I want to MOC, but got a bit lazy with putting things away so I now stuck with a lot to tidy into the right places, not to mention newer set purchases to part out and sort in. Quote
legominiguy Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 Hi there, I'm a newbie and I'm working on a modular Daily Planet (Superman) model and I'm not sure if that discussion would go here or over in the Town forums. I don't want to make a post in the wrong place, so can someone tell me if it belongs here, there or somewhere (else). Sorry, as I was typing it started to sound like a Dr. Seuss book lol. :) Quote
Robert8 Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) There will be an Adventurers mini-set as part of the 90th anniversary celebration It will be a micro version of this set Edited March 24, 2022 by Robert8 Quote

Killian Posted December 8, 2022 Posted December 8, 2022 I find it so weird that the Action and Adventure Themes section gets so much less traffic than the Boring Themes sections. Quote

Lion King Posted July 11, 2023 Posted July 11, 2023 Is DreamZzzz considered as a new “action and adventure” theme? It seems more fantasy to me but it is also more adventurous. Quote

It seems more fantasy to me but it is also more adventurous. Expand Well, the Dreamzzz discussion thread is in this forum, so yes. Hidden Side was a similar theme (modern day kids fighting supernatural beings from another realm with the help of one of their teachers), so if that’s action/adventure, so is Dreamzzz. Even Nexo Knights which was part fantasy and Castle was considered an action theme. Basically, any conflict-focused theme that isn’t licensed and not a “normal” City, Space, or historical theme belongs here. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted July 11, 2023 Author Posted July 11, 2023 In 8 years some of the deeplinks have died, but this article was first created to explain the gist of Action and Adventure themes. Maybe I should make an update... Quote
