Yeah, as a kid I never cared about piece count. I cared about the size and uniqueness of the finished build. I always thought the specialty base plates added to the fun.

I remember dreaming about this set when I was 6. If only I was born 5 years earlier. I really missed so many good classic LEGO sets
I really hope you're able to continue the Adventurers series. The Dino Island and Studios series are my favorite and introduction to Lego
My older cousin gave me this set when I was 6. He was around 13 so he was all about playstation 2 and xbox at the time. I moved so many times over the years and lost this. I'd do anything to have this back. He have it to me in 2002ish so I remember I wanted to find more lego adventure sets but they were discontinued. Thank you for letting me relive my child hood, since I will never have this again
Palomar takes a few steps inside and...aah. I died 😂
This feels the good old 90s
I always liked these raised baseplates in any form and shape, but never had one. They especially add a lot to adventure, pirates and castle themes.
I had goosebumps at the end, such a beautiful presentation 🔥
Love your reviews. Very awesome please continue making these. Especially with vintage sets like this
Glad that I discovered your channel this is bringing back so many memories from my childhood diehard LEGO fan 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Always loved the colors on this set, it's a bold choice but looks very nice in my opinion
Such an awesome set and vid
I had and loved this set as a kid. And when I saw the Knights Kingdom castle in magazines but didn't have enough allowance to afford it, I noticed the baseplates between that one and this one were the same mold in different colors so I did my best to recreate the castle on the jungle plate.
Wen wil you do dino island of adventurers? Love your vids btw good work!!😁
Best reviews of KZread!
Can't wait for Dino Island! They go hand in hand with Jungle :)
please add more videos!! love your work.
Cool to see another Adventurers set! I really like the boat (too bad that you got the wrong one at first - thank the stars for BL! :-D). I really like the baseplate actually but I see you point on padding the piece count. And, I agree fully on the ToD vide in this set! Good to see that the minifigs got their coffee needs covered :-D It's an interesting set but I agree on your final judgement and I really liked your palmtree modification! Great :-D Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!

I loved those huge mountain baseplates (:
thank you for sharing this. I found the remains of this set and thought I had a Islanders set. Then I started finding safari guys with cameras and get thoroughly confused
Used to drool over this one 🤤 Totally had Pharaoh‘s ancient ruins as a kid tho!
I have this set and absolutely love it!
This set is amazing. With like 200 pieces of details more could be great.
This was another exciting trip! The printed pieces here are almost exactly the same types as in the desert subtheme. As if the designers were tasked to reinterpret the same pieces for a different setting :-). There are less printed pieces here compared to Pharaoh's Forbidden Ruins, probably because of the huge baseplate. Either way, I love this set and theme. It deserved more medium sized structures and more sets overall. But at least it got a fantastic video series with its very own soundtrack, thanks to you, Jamie :-). PS: a teaser for a space theme? I'm excited!

My favorite Lego Set I've ever owned.
Adventurers was such a good theme
I always wanted this set when I was a kid, but never had it. Durying the covid pandemic I built it and the rest of the adventurers sets using Lego Digital Designer. Nowadays I still conserve some anventurers sets, like the sphinx, the valley of the kings, and the Anubis tomb... Relics from my childhood.
When i recieved this set for christmas i was so happy
I got this and the big space shuttle kit one Christmas, needless to say it was the best Xmas ever, I really wish I kept them together, most of the pieces are lost. It was one of the kits I would look at in magazines and dream of having. I was so lucky. I still have one of the long pieces with the ancient carvings to remember it. 5:22 argh I remember playing with that pot! 6:15 I do have that palm tree though, I need to go to my friends parents house and dig through his LEGO like a goblin freak.

Raised base plates were awesome
This one was also one of my dream sets as a kid. At least I was lucky enough to have 5936 aka Spider's Secret
Would love to see Dino Island!
I would love to see a modification to this set. Basically, the building across the bridge, is moved up front. The bridge is replaced with a trap floor, and a new ruins building is placed in the back with the main sun disk. Perhaps the center has a trap and a pit, and side things, maybe like a puzzle game with plates. Adventurer has to open a door by doing a specific code
I wish they would bring these old sets back
That 2x2 Mod Curved Top Brick in Tan is no longer exclusive, it now appeared in set 11004 Windows of Creativity in the Creator line.
I had this set still have the tribe chief and the cowboy hat guy I didn’t know how old this set was and took it apart to build other stuff I even have the whole base piece

I never knew they created an entirely different palm tree mould for these sets, I wonder why - at a distance they look pretty similar.

More trees is indeed fantastic, it turns a rather boring, open build into a true jungle ruin!
This was a rough era for Lego. Flagship sets were too over-reliant on giant baseplates with too little for the part bin, a lot like the King Leo’s Castle set which is an embarrassing build masked by the same plate. This era hit when I was starting to age out of these play themes but I don’t feel any more inspired when I’m looking at them now. Besides the boat set from earlier this season, nothing here is very impressive even compared to the Egypt line from a year prior.
The Adventurers line is just Indiana Jones without the license
Where's the next part? :) Still waiting
Trikbrix please do orient expedition
this set has so much death in it
This set seems to have a lot of ways to die. The traps are cool, the hanging skeleton is kind of creepy and morbid.
Do you sell this set
Fair enough! Even tho I love this set I do admit the cost/amount of pieces relation is quite unfair... The plate is beautiful, however. (I love the blue, rocky river) I really love the color in these jungle sets. Great stuff as always. Pretty hyped for Dino Island!

Definitely not a good price to piece ratio, especially with today’s resale value. And I agree with you on the baseplate; it really adds a lot to the look of the set. Thanks, and thanks for watching! 😎👍
Tbh I actually prefer the Jungle theme over Egypt. Yes, it is a much smaller theme, but I feel that the sets are more consistent and surprisingly have a lot to offer. I feel like Egypt had too many sets and can be hit or miss.

DONT MIND RAISED BASED PLATES THEY ARE THE BEST
I agree with you. I also think it could use some extra pieces to make it more detailed. Also the boat imo could use some extra decoration. Still the traps are fantastic to play around with.

Thanks! I really felt like vintage Lego sets were largely underserved in the ‘high quality’ review community, so that’s kinda why I decided to focus my efforts in that direction (besides the fact that they’re AWESOME sets). Jang and the like are great for new set reviews, but they rarely look at the sets I’m really interested in. I’m glad that there’s still an audience for vintage Lego! 😎👍

@@zoltanperei4789 It's not even that his content is bad, he fails to make videos on time when people can watch other creators who review the newest sets earlier. He uses the same format and linear editing for almost each review, so difficulty does not come into his time management. To be honest I actually preferred 'The Brick Show' (Former Channel) as they covered older sets that are much more desirable. He reviews these 7+ building sets with the same tone as a food critic. If you go back and watch Jang's oldest videos he has a completely different tone as he knew his audience would be children. The way he covers these new sets with such an adult like manner is completely pointless. If he would of covered classic sets or discontinued ones, I would understand. But instead he's building his "Lego Mall' which can you imagine putting years of your life into something as trivial as building blocks. I mean his Lego city doesn't even look that apealing anyway for something he's basing his career on.

Hey Trik, coming back to this comment a year later, I was looking at some LEGO studios sets, and i noticed that set #1354, has the blue undershirt that you mentioned in one of the Egypt reviews, so Ms. Storm did have that torso piece, just not in an official adventurers set. Just decided to let you know about it, in case no one else did. Hope to see you back and better than ever soon!
Well I just binged all of your Adventurers videos and I absolutely loved them! It is really nice to find another person who enjoys this theme as much as me. I am hoping to complete my collection in a few years, but I've got a long way to go. It is unfortunate that we will likely never see this theme again, I'm curious which themes/sets (Indiana Jones aside) that have come since best capture some of the wonderful aspects of Adventures? For example, I think the Lego City Jungle sub-theme is quite nice. Well, I eagerly await your coverage of the Adventure's excursion to Dino Island!

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed them! I still have my fingers crossed that someday Lego will give us another Adventurers wave... I’d really love to see what they could do with modern elements and building techniques. And I’d say you’re probably right with the city Jungle sets are probably the closest things we’ve got to the spirt of the Adventurers, although I would’ve liked to have seen a more grand jungle temple. And yes, hopefully Dino Island reviews will be coming sooner rather than later! So stay tuned and thanks for watching! 😎👍
