Harry Cane's Hangar On the desert outskirts of the city where Johnny Thunder lives, there is an old airstrip where Johnny's old friend Harry Cane lives. In his little rundown hangar, the ace pilot maintains his biplane and prepares for the gang's next adventure. More pictures in the is thead:

On the desert outskirts of the city where Johnny Thunder lives, there is an old airstrip where Johnny's old friend Harry Cane lives. In his little rundown hangar, the ace pilot maintains his biplane and prepares for the gang's next adventure. The old tin roof has patches of rust on it. The doors can be opened and closed as seen in this animation. On one side of the hangar there is a pile of crates, Harry's motorcycle, and a palm tree. On the other side of the hangar there is an old power generator. The steam powered generator chugs along, providing electricity to the building. Let's take a closer look inside the hangar. The roof can easily be removed to access the interior. This is where Harry's office desk is located. It is cluttered with a radio, maps, bills, booze, and navigation equipment. Next to it is a filing cabinet with a fan and a little easter egg. There's also a pile of cargo crates with adventuring gear, a brass fire extinguisher (the old kind which has a little rubber hose dangling from the top and which you simply tilt upside down to use), and a wall telephone. On this side there is a pinboard with a picture of Harry's friends Johnny Thunder and Dr. Kilroy, and various maps, including ones from the 2 previous adventures that Harry accompanied Johnny on. There is also Harry's workbench and tanks of oil and gas. Here is a closer look at Harry's biplane which he used during the war. The rudder can be adjusted. A small car that Harry uses to get to and from the hangar. It is designed in the style of the little impulse sets and polybags that were common for the Adventurers theme. It has a small baggage area in the back and the classic license plate with his initials. I hope you like this entry. I will leave you with a photo of Harry in front of his plane.

A little teaser for my next category B entry.

Classic Space didn’t really have any. It’s not even clear what roles the different colors of space suits were meant to represent. But later factions had a bit of lore, like who the good guys, bad guys, and civilians are and even some named characters. You can read up on it on Brickipedia: https://brickipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Space

Nice builds, but shouldn’t the Cursed Race be 2 separate entries and Desert Secrets be a Category A entry since its main focus is a location, not a vehicle?

When there is a race to be won, the ribbiting roadster leaps into action! Driven by Froggy Froggerson, a frog in a robot suit, this frog themed jumping jalopy is the wackiest, most unique car on the race track and it's leaps and bounds above the competition! Its wheels are offset from their axle so that the car hops as it drives along and feature decorative legs to make it look even more like a frog! (I incorporated a pullback motor, but sadly it's too weak to make it go on its own) Here is a close up of its amphibian driver. This was my entry for the Customize Your Ride contest on LEGO Ideas. Sadly, it did not get selected for voting, but I hope you enjoyed this wacky MOC as much as I did building it.

The upcoming Halloween VIP Add-on pack includes purple CS helmets! Sadly no air tanks as far as I can tell though.

Welcome to the forum! Interesting. I’ve never seen this prototype before. That certainly would have made more sense than the gate that leads to nothing that we got. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s a money printing press where you load the bills at the top and they come out at the front. I guess they thought depicting counterfeiting money was too problematic and left out that whole section of the set? Also, it looks more light gray than white to me. Do you happen to have more interesting prototype images like this?

Oh, I do know about those. I thought by “modern themes” you meant current ones, not ones from over a decade ago.

There have? I can’t recall any aside from TLM and LEGO Dimensions which aren’t canon. They usually treat City, Friends, Ninjago, Monkie Kid, etc. as separate franchises. But yeah, I also always viewed Space as the future of City/Town and that logo all but confirms it.

True, but then again, all themes back then also existed in the same universe as seen in TimeCruisers and crossovers like LEGO Racers. It really does seem like City is the new home for adventure and space now. Also, it’s hard to look at those awesome catalog images and not get nostalgic!

Nice to see the City subtheme continuing at least. Especially since they seem to be going more sci-fi with aliens and mechs which is odd, but welcome.

From the Office of Dr. Charles "Lightning" Kilroy, Researcher at the Museum of History and Adventurer: Dear Johnny, It hasn't been long since our last adventure together, but I have come across a map during my latest research that I believe could lead to an extraordinary discovery! I don't want to say much more here in case this message gets intercepted by that fiendish Sam Sinister. I think we might have another adventure on our hands, old friend, so pack your things and meet me at the museum! And please hurry - I have seen Sinister's goon Slyboots lurking outside of the museum. Your friend, Dr. Kilroy PS: I have been hearing eerie noises coming from Pharaoh Hotep's sarcophagus down in the exhibit. Probably just my imagination though... You can see more pictures and details in this thread.

Your friend, Dr. Kilroy PS: I have been hearing eerie noises coming from Pharaoh Hotep's sarcophagus down in the exhibit. Probably just my imagination though... This is the exterior of the museum where Dr. Kilroy works. Some say that the building resembles Dr. Kilroy with its black, white, and green color scheme and pith helmet-like dome. In front of the museum, the evil Slyboots is up to no good while a paperboy is selling a newspaper with Pippin Reed's latest article on her adventures with Johnny Thunder. I imagine this to be located in England, so I added a British mailbox in front. Dr. Kilroy's office is above the Ancient Egypt exhibit at the Museum of History. Dr. Kilroy is currently hard at work studying an old treasure map he found. His desk is filled with a typewriter, a pencil holder, a lamp, and letters that have piled up while he was away on his last adventure. His signature pith helmet hangs on a hat rack behind him next to a safe with important documents. In the left corner of his office, he has a pile of adventuring gear which he usually doesn't bother to unpack because when your best friend is Johnny Thunder, the next adventure is always just around the corner! There is also a small stand with his brand new telephone device, a full suit of medieval armor, and a terrarium with his pet Cobra Cleapatra who Dr. Kilroy picked up during one of his excavations and who likes to roam the museum and sometimes stowaway in the doctor's backpack, much to Johnny's dismay. A framed picture of Dr. Kilroy and Johnny Thunder that Pippin Reed took hangs on the wall. The right corner of the office is filled with books, a globe, a telescope, and various historical artifacts from past LEGO themes. There is even the papyrus that set the Adventurers off on their Egypt adventure. Down in the Ancient Egypt exhibit, Pharaoh Hotep stirs from his slumber to retrieve his Re-Gou ruby that is proudly displayed in the center of the hall..There is also an obelisk, a slab with hieroglyphics, and other treasures from the pharaoh's tomb. The other side of the exhibit features a large Anubis statue, a display with the Pharaoh's staffs, and more hieroglyphics. I hope you like this entry. I built it in the same half modular style as the Diagon Alley shops. Leave your thoughts in the comments below, and keep on adventuring!

Wow, very impressive! What you have so far already looks amazing! As a Disneyland frequenter and fan of the ride, I’m loving this. I hope you don’t rush the rest of it just to get it ready for the convention and I look forward to seeing how this develops.

A fair dinkum lovely build with lots of nice details, mate! I especially like the old radio and stove.

Good start. Your approach for the bridge is interesting, although it’s odd how the rocks that it’s attached to rotate with the bridge. Due to this bridge hanging a lot lower and therefore needing a lower pivot point, that is probably unavoidable though. I love the new statue. Those door rail plates create a great pattern!

Good question. While thinking about this category, I also had to ask myself: where do the Adventurers actually live? We know Johnny is Australien, but I don’t think the others are, so I don’t think they’re in Australia. The German audio drama is set somewhere in Europe and I read somewhere that Dr. Kilroy works at a museum in London. These types of adventure stories do typically start in England (The Mummy comes to mind), so maybe that’s where they are. However, it’s probably kept intentionally vague so that it can be anywhere you want it to be. I’d love to hear others’ thoughts on this though.

Nice build, but I feel like this is more Steampunk than Adventurers. I would modify it to look more like a realistic vehicle, like a regular tram or a blimp.

Thanks everyone! Glad you like it. Good idea! Their windshields are the perfect shape. Maybe I’ll do that for next AquaJune.

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.

Yes! There are other contests that take priority for me right now, but I’m definitely thinking about entering this one too!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! Awesome! Thank you so much! As for your question regarding the cat skull on an island previously inhabited by mouselanders, I like to think that the mouselanders carved it into the mountain in order to ward off unwanted visitors since that’s what they thought was scary, but it only ended up attracting the PlunderCats.

The TIE Aquanaut was a modified version of the TIE Fighter variant used by the Mining Guild. It featured the same black and yellow color scheme and notch cut into the stabilizers, but was modified to be able to travel underwater. The Mining Guild used it to protect their deep sea mining operations and help in locating valuable materials, particularly (kyber) crystals. Instead of its usual twin ion engines, it featured twin propellers, and instead of laser cannons, it was armed with harpoons. The TIE Aquanaut was piloted by specially trained Aqua Troopers. Here is one inside the small cockpit. This was my entry for AquaJune, a new themed build month over on Flickr. Let me know what you think and go check out the other entries!

Great Scott MOC! The lighting looks fantastic and the base with the giant time display is very impressive! Also, NPU with that dome at the front.
