“This is one great little airplane that are one of the two Orient expedition-sets that I own. I bought it many years ago in the local toys tore. What I didn't realize back then was really how great this set is. It doesn't take that many minutes to build, at least not for a... More teenager like me. But the playability is great!”

“This LEGO Orient Expedition airplane set is a fantastic addition to any collection. It's quick to build and offers great playability, even on its own. The colors are well-coordinated, with standout features like brown wings with guns, a red detail before the black propeller, and a small window for Jonny to look out from.”
 

About 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.

Orient Expedition was introduced in 2003 and currently consists of 20 sets. As of today, 7419 Dragon Fortress is the most valuable Orient Expedition set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $1,145.
Summary
Adventurers Orient Expedition Thunder Blazer set 7420 was released in August 2003, retailing for $8, but has since been retired. New, unopened Thunder Blazer sets are valued at $114, while used sets can be found for $23 in good condition.
