About LEGO Adventurers Orient Expedition

The Orient Expedition subtheme of The Adventurers theme was released in 2003 and discontinued in 2005. The theme was about Johnny Thunder, Dr. Kilroy, Pippin Reed, and their new Asian friends going through Asia to find the Golden Dragon of Marco Polo and his three other treasures before the sneaky Lord Sam Sinister and his partners-in-crime did. This is was the last subtheme of Adventurers. Each set with more than 100 pieces came with stat cards and a piece of a game board that could be added to the Orient Expedition Board Game.

The Adventurers theme is based on an early 20th century exploration where the characters explore new areas, and go on adventures. All of the Adventurers sets, except for the Dino Island subtheme, take place in real-world locations, such as Egypt, the Himalayas, India, the Amazon rainforest, and China.
