Aurore Posted October 28, 2021 @Jack Sassy Oh wow, thanks to you I just discovered that there are no less than three sizes of LEGO rubber drafts for our adventurers! - A tiny one, 6x10 studs, available in a nice variety of colours in general but only in yellow tones from B&P (Design ID 75977) - The small one, 6x12 studs and with more space inside, available in red and olive but awfully expensive on B&P (Design ID 78611) - The huge one, 10x21 studs, available in many colours but only red and blue from B&P (Design ID 62812) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the moment I only have one 6x12 rubber raft in dark bluish grey so that's that. I would say that I much prefer rowboat over these rubber rafts - it has more space and can be usable for both modern and historic settings. Still, rubber rafts are good, if anything then you can use a yellow one to recreate that one scene from Temple of Doom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(available on B&P for the completely surrealistic price of 19€ - Element ID 6368309 for the millionaires among us) The price is insane (no idea why it costs so much), but this new mould is great because it fits the 3x4 crate (design ID 30150). We have that crate in black again: 10 hours ago, Jack Sassy said: Once the snow comes around in my region, I might take a few pictures with Johnny and Doc in these outfits outside.

The Reader Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) The parts of the Amelia Earhart minifig from set 40450 are still available on B&P. She is a classic aviatrix. Edited October 28, 2021 by The Reader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mean so the picture opens the site it came from? Well, I just right clicked on the picture and copied image address (or something along the lines) and then pasted the link in here, it automatically sets it as a picture.

The won't open the site they come from. But if you click on the pics which have been inserted e.g. by @Aurore you will get the link to the site they come from. There's probably an easier way of doing it, but as far as I'm concerned to share pictures of individual parts with a link to Brickset I directly write code following this pattern : [url=https://brickset.com/parts/XXXXXXX][img=https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/element.img.lod5photo.192x192/XXXXXXX.jpg][/url] where XXXXXXX is the Element ID. The code itself can work with other links and pictures as well if you replace the address within the "url" tag with the address of the page where you'd like the link to lead, and the address within the "img" tags with the address of the image itself : [url=ADDRESS OF THE PAGE][img=ADDRESS OF THE IMAGE][/url] The tricky part is when pasting the addresses, as the forum post editor automatically interprets them as links or images. You may have to play with CTRL+Z and CTRL+RIGHT CLICK > "REMOVE LINK" to cancel this interpretation. As I said, there's probably an easier way of doing it!

Simple: once you’ve pasted the picture, just select it, hit the “link” button, and paste the url you want to link to. Done - no coding required! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted October 28, 2021 I'm not sure if it is me being old, the fact that I never stopped collecting or what. But I have so very many of those little boats in so many colours! Not to mention the larger versions. Also rowboats, and canoes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aurore Posted October 29, 2021 @Oky Oh, right, that's way easier. And @Jack Sassy said the same just above my post. Remembers me of a nice cartoon about a bunch of engineers ruining a simple tree swing by overcomplicating it. Hrm. Anyways. I went through New Elementary's lists of new parts from december 2020 to june 2021, and all those ones screamed "Adventurers!" (and other ones too, but which had already been added to this topic) : Available from B&P, Element ID 6332013 Not available from B&P Listed on B&P but (currently?) not available. The recent recolor from Bandmates Series 2 could be useful too. That sword is just gorgeous - Not available from B&P An adventurer can never have too many books - Available from B&P, Element ID 6334605 An adventurer can never have too many maps either - Not available from B&P Field notes! - Not available from B&P To type your field notes! - Available from B&P, Element ID 6323421 Available from B&P, Element ID 6323420 Treasure! - Available from B&P, Element ID 6322171 Classy lost temple decor - Available from B&P, Element ID 6334575 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Reader Posted October 30, 2021 These legs could be useful for a modern islander: Unfortunately I haven't found a torso and a head in dark orange which would fit to an islander. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmmm...How about the torso and head of one of the Ugha warriors from the Indiana Jones theme? They're not very common on Bricklink, but can still be found. And while we're talking dark orange...There is also Pharah's head, from the Overwatch theme, that has a very nice Adventurers vibe with her Eye of Horus tattoo!

The Reader Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) @Aurore Very good suggestions, especially that Overwatch head! I was actually just looking for parts which are currently available on B&P. Edited October 31, 2021 by The Reader Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aurore Posted November 1, 2021 The parts of all the adult minifigs from the Home Alone sets could be useful for Adventurers too, especially the head with the gold tooth! I hoped some of them would show up on B&P this morning, but sadly only Kevin's torso did. I fear the others will be quite expensive on BL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I fear the others will be quite expensive on BL. Unless they are included in more sets, then yes, they will be expensive. Best suggestion is to keep looking on B&P for them, if Kevin's torso is there, then others have to show up soon too. I would like to think that there could be some use for Penguin's torso from next year in some Adventure. To me, it looks more like a torso for Carlito's Way but I also see it as a good oligarch villain torso too: (Speaking of which, have we ever got Al Pacino in Lego form?)

The Reader Posted November 7, 2021 I know it's quite a long shot - but set 43202 Madrigal House might be used as a South American-stylish house for the Adventurers' Jungle-subtheme (perhaps you need to de-Disney-fy it a bit): I think it's a great set anyway!
