Congrats everyone   We have seen many wonderful mocs, not only by the winners, but from all participants! Cheers

[Murdoch17]

Congrats to the winners! All participants MOC's were awesome, I had a really hard time voting for what I did!

[Rui Miguel]

Wow! Thank you so much to everyone who voted for my project and those whom my project also reached and showed their support. A big warm thank you. This project means more than what meets the eye; seeing everyone rejoice with The Adventurers theme again it's inspiring. Congrats to the fellow winners @BardDandelion and @Zapalski of categories A and B with their amazing builds. A big thank you to @Peppermint_M for creating this amazing contest. To everyone who participated in each category, who the Adventurers theme is very alive after 25 years and continues to spark imagination and storytelling with Johnny Thunder and his friends.

After this I'm definitely going to continue the adventure I started here and make brand new chapters, and who knows maybe someone at LEGO Group will catch up and have a homage set release someday. ;)

Cheers everyone

Congratulations to the victors! This contest had truly beautiful entries, good job everyone! 

[Bricknave]

Congratulations to the winners! This contest has brought out some really amazing Adventurers MOCs, some of which are LEGO Ideas worthy (hint hint).

The Cursed Race by Rui Miguel

Well done on another successful Eurobricks contest!

I must say I'm a fan of @Rui Miguel's work because when it first popped up in my Instagram feed, I immediately thought:

"Wait!  I don't remember that Adventurers set - is The LEGO Group officially releasing a new one in vintage 90s box artwork?"

Then I dropped everything and went searching for it...  and then discovered it was an entry for this contest.

That's how good the presentation is!

Congratulations to the well deserved winners! Shout out to the organizers : great seeing so many AFOLS together making these great builds.

Thank you very much for all the votes for my build! Wanted to make something like that for years and finally got motivated by the competition.

Congrats to all other winners and participants! So many great Adventurers builds!

[CDKiii]

Congrats to the winners !!!!!!!

Especially @Rui miguel  for his fantastic concepts.

And of course, thank you to @Peppermint_M for this contest.

I had not really been following the contest, so I am only seeing these now - @Rui Miguel’s entries look absolutely amazing (congrats, BTW!)! From the designs to the Minifigs to the box art, these legitimately look like sets that LEGO would release as part of an Adventurers reboot!
My only real critique (from an official set standpoint, not a design one) is that Desert Secrets should probably include Johnny Thunder and a Scorpion Tracker remake side-build, so that the set’s story can be based around a heroes vs. villains race for the map. This would have overlapped too much with your other entry, however, so I can see why you did not go that route. Otherwise, though, these would be day-one buys if they ever were produced!

Thank you again @CDKiii 

@Classic_Spaceman Wow thank you so much for your constructive critique I appreciate it a lot.   

I wish I could show what I have already built/drafted but the decision to have them separate besides the story has also to do with the hypothetical price range of each set and how they fit with the rest of the collection as a whole. The next chapters will be bigger, more architectural, definitely more interactive and with new vehicles. Without spoiling it goes something like this: 

- Desert Secrets | 8+ | ~14.99€
- The Cursed Race | 8+ | ~24.99€
- Baron ?-?-? | 8+ | ~24.99€ 
- ?-?-? Tomb | 10+ | ~84.99€
- Voyage of ?-?-?-? | 12+ | ~120.99€
- ?-?-?-?-?-?-? of Anut | 16+ | ~224.99€

 Ps: Harry Cane is on this list I didn't forget him.

I did not think that you would - I look forward to seeing his design! Also, are you including characters from the Jungle and Dino Island waves, or just Desert? I can see Alexia Sinister fitting in quite well, for example.

It was fun watching the builds come out for this contest. Congratulations to the winners. Those are some great designs. Thanks all to participating.

[The Reader]

That's a good idea I didn't think of. 

It's not "Pyramid" but the word starts with a P  When the time arrives you will see the concept. Cheers 

[Peppermint_M]

Honestly? Can TLG pick up on those designs and make us a GWP Adventurers set (at the very least, please thanks.)

Loved all the entries from everyone, it all tells me that this contest was worth the effort.

Well done to the winners and thanks to everybody that joined in. Some great MOCs proving the the thirst for adventure still exists. I’m hoping Lego brings back some sets soon!
