Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} '''''LEGO Adventurers''''' (later called Orient Expedition) is one of the many themes of [[LEGO]] toys out there, focusing around adventurers [[Adventurer Archaeologist\|Johnny Thunder]], [[Intrepid Reporter\|Pippin Reed]] (formerly Gail Storm), and [[Absent-Minded Professor\|Dr. Charles Kilroy]] (formerly Charles Lightning) as they travel the world in search of ancient artefacts (with one exception). They had one recurring villain, Sam Sinister (who forms a micro-[[Continuity Snarl]]) and many single-subtheme villains. Line 14: And yes, this entire theme is one big [[Expy]] of [[Indiana Jones]] (with a helping of ''[[The Lost World]]'' and ''[[Jurassic Park]]'' to boot), right down to the characters. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} ~~== This toy series includes examples of ==~~ * [[Adventurer Archaeologist]] : Pretty much all the characters. * [[Artistic License History]]: Frequently only used the [[Theme Park Version]] of most cultures, although averted with the mention of Marco Polo's trip to China. Line 22: ** This got so notorious that even LEGO [[Ascended Meme\|got into the act]], putting a joke about it in their Minifig line. * [[Crossover]]: With ''LEGO Studios''. Johnny Thunder also appears in [[LEGO Racers]] and [[Lego Universe]]. * [[~~Diesel Punk~~Dieselpunk]] / [[Two-Fisted Tales]] : It's basically a Lego [[Indiana Jones]] series (years before there were official licensed Indy sets and minifigs), so this is to be expected. * [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Many of the names of the lead characters were changed from "Egypt" to the other themes, and the characters of Sam Sinister and Baron von Barron got combined. * [[Everything's Better with Dinosaurs]]: The ''Dino Island'' sub-theme. * [[Expy]]: As mentioned above, of ''[[Indiana Jones]]'', with elements of ''[[Jurassic Park]]'' and A. C. Doyle's ''[[The Lost World]]''. * [[G ~~Day~~'day, Mate]]: Johnny Thunder is officially an Aussie, while most other characters are British. * [[Limited Wardrobe]] / [[Unlimited Wardrobe]]: The Adventurers get about three different outfits each, and Sam Sinister has two, each with minor variations. * [[Lost World]]: "Dino Island".
