One can dream. At least I have the new version but I'd like to have the original version as well.

This should be a real set. I believe you'd get many supporters if you submit it to Lego Ideas.

I was just curious. I'm not registered on discord. Good luck with selling the Sea-Tron Alien. I've always wanted the green Futuron prototype minifigure. Do you know what they are worth?

I agree. A standalone theme is much better. I have always regarded Power Miners as futuristic, a little bit like Aquazone but underground

With the current trend of including all present day stuff into City would this be a standalone Adventurers theme or a city subtheme?

Very nice build! The monkey on the roof is my favorite detail.

Do you have larger pictures of the items? They look very interesting!

Welcome! Are you talking about Sea Tron items?

Beautiful spaceship! It's always nice to see new parts being used for Futuron builds. Stuff like this keeps the theme alive!

We wouldn't have this problem if they had stayed with yellow minifigs only and used only the classic smiley face with its variations like glasses and beards. Since no one is actually yellow it's a perfect color for all minifigs. All official communication from Lego states that yellow is meant for everyone, everything else is just speculation. If they had used yellow it wouldn't have gone wrong. Flesh colored minifigs and too specific ethnic facial details only causes confusion and is not inclusive, even if I believe that there's nothing wrong or malicious with such designs they still lead to ideological or political dimensions that should not be a part of Lego.

Lego does not allow drugs or drug use in their products.

I'm back! And I completely agree with you. I agree that adding such stuff is unnecessary and simple faces are much better. The minifigures you asked about look quite neutral in my opinion, I just didn't have the time to look at them before. My point was that I believe it's nothing wrong with the non-European minifigures but like you I prefer the same for all face approach because it's more inclusive.

Context and looks (fair hair and facial features) which is good when you want to portray a king or a knight. Similar faces exist for other cultures, for example the shogun and the ninjas from Ninja. Such special faces are good for such themes but personally I prefer the classic yellow smiley face and its variations.

Since the whole theme takes place in or is based on medieval Europe it's natural that the minifigs look European and many of them have facial Prints that are European looking like: https://brickset.com/minifigs/cas523/castle-king-s-knight-armor-with-lion-head-with-crown-helmet-with-fixed-grille-blue-plume https://brickset.com/minifigs/cas059 It's equally natural that minifigs from sets and themes based on other regions look like the people from that area and there's nothing wrong with that. Many people seem to think that any depiction of anyone not European is automatically racist. I don't like when political or ideological agendas are being imported into the fun and friendly world of Lego. Flesh colored minifigs was a huge step in the wrong direction, All people are equal and nothing represents that better than classic yellow minifigs.

If I remember correctly the main bad guy in Adventurers is European. And what's wrong with non-European minifigures? If European knight minifigures have European facial features why can't Asian minifigures have Asian features? People nowadays are too sensitive. I'm Scandinavian and I think the Vikings theme is great even if many things are not 100 % historically accurate because that's not the purpose with toys. .

That would be cool. The largest set could be a huge temple.

That's a very good idea. But where should they go? They have been to the desert, the jungle, the dinosaur island and to the mountains. Maybe Australia or sub Saharan Africa?

You can have "conflict" without lumping several subthemes in one box. If you look at old catalogs and commercials there was a constant struggle between Futuron/SP1/M-Tron on one side and Blacktron on the other. All subthemes were sold concurrently but in separate boxes. Only larger Space Police sets had a Blacktron astronaut as a prisoner which was a very cool feature. I don't mind including a smaller "enemy" craft like Pirate often does but larger builds should be sold separately. And I find it very hard to believe that kids as a group makes decisions such as moving away from a certain style of Lego sets. They and their parents are stuck with what Lego chooses to offer them at that moment they buy sets.

I believe the more they venture away from what is considered Classic Space and Space the less interest it will receive. It's no coincidence that sales started to drop when they messed up Space (and other themes) in the late 90s and early 00s. It might work if they have Classic Space as a separate subtheme instead of mixing like Space Police 3 did with the aliens, and the aliens as a separate subtheme but I wouldn't recommend doing that. Many of the alien based subthemes like UFO and Insectoids are really cool as standalone themes but doesn't mix all too well with the overall Space concept.

Futuron is actually one of my favorite Space subthemes along with Space Police 1 but I collect everything from Classic Space to Exploriens. UFO and Insectoids are a bit different but they clearly belong to the same era. Post Classic Space sounds like a good name for the Futuron to Insectoids era. First I thought about the name System Space but earlier subthemes were branded Legoland so that's not suitable. But it didn't happen so it is a completely irrelevant question. What happens if they put purple rabbits with trans neon orange chainsaws in Star Wars? Would you still consider it to be Star Wars?

I look like the minifigure in the picture

That almost happened with the cancelled Seatron subtheme but for some reason they cancelled it. Personally I don't like alien minifigures (especially ones with moulded heads) but such subthemes can still be considered Space but not Classic Space.

For me it is quite simple. Space themes have a space setting (not earth based or a subtheme of another theme) and the aesthetics must be at least somewhat related to what is considered Lego Space. Space sets also have trans colored canopies and parts. The same goes for Castle. Nexo Knights, Harry Potter or Ninjago are not even remotely filling the gap left by Castle. A true Castle theme must have that medieval look and include knights. Castle sets can't have too many pieces in very bright colors.

If you buy only one the Lion Knights Castle is by far the largest and has a lot of cool minifigs. Although the Eldorado Fortress is my favorite among these sets and if it was up to me I'd buy that one.

A perfect crossover between Space and City. Such builds are difficult to get right but you have managed to create something balanced and perfect!
