  Grandma told me I could pick any set I wanted for my birthday. It was between this one and the sphinx model, which I ended up choosing because I was in love with the shape of it for some reason. My grandma asked me if I was sure I didn't want the more expensive temple of Anubis. I was firm in my decision. Somehow this dilemma always stuck with me xD I think I'm gonna buy this just to put my childhood ghost at ease xd

  I was born in 2005 so I missed out on all adventurers sets but I am currently collecting them.

  Unpopular opinion : Adventurers should have had a reboot in 2018 for the 20th anniversary of the theme

  Got this set as a little schoolkid for Christmas. This was my first great set and also one of the last ones sadly, as my parents&apos; company went bankrupt and we had no more money for such luxuries. Living in Eastern Europe was not the best way to collect expensive Lego sets. So you can imagine why this one is very close to my heart, probably my most loved game from my childhood. I knew a lot of other kids did not get the chance to play with such a great toy, so I always cared for it, always checking every pieces watching not to lose anything. I still have every part with the old and creased, scotch taped instructions.<br><br>Today, more than 20 years later I can buy these sets to build the collection I was always dreaming of as a child. Not that I would play the same way with them of course, but just to simply build and touch them, take care of them until I&apos;ll have children to share these great treausures with them, the same way my parents shared this one with me many many years ago at that Christmas. <br><br>I feel the very same thing with your reviews, a commitment I do not get in any other lego channels here. They are just blank reviews with no real deepness, and I&apos;ve always felt a bit alone with these feelings when I&apos;ve ever stumbled across my old toys or watched videos about them. You on the other hand share the details, the stories behind the themes, the name of the characters. Every little nuances in every little corner we loved to discover 20 years ago. You share them like it would really matter. And it did really matter to us back in those days. Your videos have brought back actual memories and emotions. I&apos;m very grateful for that and also happy that I&apos;m not alone with this nostalgic and somewhat negligible (at least for other people) hobby.<br><br>I reckon you are going to review newer sets from the late 2000&apos;s and 2010&apos;s after no more left from this era, and I guess there are truly great sets there to take a look at and talk about. Still, I will always come back to watch these, the ones made about the classic Legoland and System sets, because they have real soul I just can&apos;t find in any newer products.<br><br>Take care and keep up the good work!

  My little brother had this and I had Amazon Ancient Ruins. I swapped my Johnny&apos;s hands for Achu&apos;s red gloves so we could tell whose Johnny was whose more easily.

  The run of the mill skeleton will forever be my favorite

  Add anything else unpleasant...<br><br>Me: searching for lego minifigures of the in-laws.

  Once upon a time, I used to watch a Youtube Lego reviewer known as Bill and Red. Bill had a wonderful way of reviewing classic Lego sets. His reviews were fun, informative, laid back and his awesome robot known as &quot;Red&quot; always delighted. If I were having a bad day, I could slip away for 8-10 minutes and let myself get lost in his entertaining reviews. Bill was my gateway to Lego as an adult. His videos were the ultimate &quot;comfort food&quot; for any Lego fan. Sadly, Bill is no longer with us, but thanks to you, TrikBrix, the torch has been picked up, held high so the &quot;comfort&quot; lives on. Your reviews are delightful. And all the work you put into each video is on display for all to enjoy. I don&apos;t know if you ever saw Bill and Red, but if you had, I know you would&apos;ve been a fan. In these very trouble times, it&apos;s people like you, that remind us of simpler, happier times, and allow us to bring some of that simple and happy into the here and now. Bravo, sir!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cd_mnylLHo&amp;t=276">4:36</a> it appears that the colours were unintentionally inverted. Notice how the one on the left has a blue compass with a yellow dial, while on the right, it&apos;s a yellow compass with a blue dial. Also, the one on the right has a blue belt buckle, while on the left, its yellow.

  Just stumbling into my favorite Lego set and favorite lego review, again. Just hoping that you would be making more videos again. I miss your reviews, I hope you come back at some point. Meanwhile, I&apos;ll keep rewatching the old ones. Take care!
