In 2000, amidst significant transitions within LEGO, including the retirement of iconic minifigure inventor Jens Nygaard Knudsen, the Adventurers theme reached new heights with the introduction of the Dino Island subtheme. Dino Island featured sets centered around dinosaur-themed adventures on a fictional island. However, this marked the pinnacle of Adventurers' journey and was eventually discontinued.

About LEGO Adventurers

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. Subthemes include Egypt/Desert from 1998 to 1999, Jungle in 1999, Dino Island in 2000 and the Orient Expedition in 2003. The Adventurers theme was discontinued in 2003 and replaced by the Pharaoh's Quest theme in 2011.
2000 LEGO Sets
2000 was a year of transition and innovation for LEGO. The company introduced RoboRiders, Knights’ Kingdom, Life on Mars, Studios, and a Soccer/Football theme while retiring veteran designer Jens Nygaard Knudsen, creator of the minifigure. Star Wars launched its first Ultimate Collector Series sets—the X-wing Fighter (7191) and TIE Interceptor (7181)—establishing LEGO’s adult collector market. BIONICLE debuted in select regions, setting the stage for a major global launch. Recognized as 'Toy of the Century,' the LEGO brick entered the new millennium as both a cultural icon and a growing creative platform.
