'''''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).
