The magnet part is just brilliant!

I was born in 2005 so I missed out on all adventurers sets but I am currently collecting them.

Grandma told me I could pick any set I wanted for my birthday. It was between this one and the sphinx model, which I ended up choosing because I was in love with the shape of it for some reason. My grandma asked me if I was sure I didn't want the more expensive temple of Anubis. I was firm in my decision. Somehow this dilemma always stuck with me xD I think I'm gonna buy this just to put my childhood ghost at ease xd

Got this set as a little schoolkid for Christmas. This was my first great set and also one of the last ones sadly, as my parents' company went bankrupt and we had no more money for such luxuries. Living in Eastern-Europe was not the best way to collect expensive Lego sets. So you can imagine why this one is very close to my heart, probably my most loved game from my childhood. I knew a lot of other kids did not get the chance to play with such a great toy, so I always cared for it, always checking every pieces watching not to lose anything. I still have every part with the old and creased, scotch taped instructions. Today, more than 20 years later I can buy these sets to build the collection I was always dreaming of as a child. Not that I would play the same way with them of course, but just to simply build and touch them, take care of them until I'll have children to share these great treausures with them, the same way my parents shared this one with me many many years ago at that Christmas. I feel the very same thing with your reviews, a commitment I do not get in any other lego channels here. They are just blank reviews with no real deepness, and I've always felt a bit alone with these feelings when I've ever stumbled across my old toys or watched videos about them. You on the other hand share the details, the stories behind the themes, the name of the characters. Every little nuances in every little corner we loved to discover 20 years ago. You share them like it would really matter. And it did really matter to us back in those days. Your videos have brought back actual memories and emotions. I'm very grateful for that and also happy that I'm not alone with this nostalgic and somewhat negligible (at least for other people) hobby. I reckon you are going to review newer sets from the late 2000's and 2010's after no more left from this era, and I guess there are truly great sets there to take a look at and talk about. Still, I will always come back to watch these, the ones made about the classic Legoland and System sets, because they have real soul I just can't find in any newer products. Take care and keep up the good work!

Unpopular opinion : Adventurers should have had a reboot in 2018 for the 20th anniversary of the theme

Once upon a time, I used to watch a KZfaq Lego reviewer known as Bill and Red. Bill had a wonderful way of reviewing classic Lego sets. His reviews were fun, informative, laid back and his awesome robot known as "Red" always delighted. If I were having a bad day, I could slip away for 8-10 minutes and let myself get lost in his entertaining reviews. Bill was my gateway to Lego as an adult. His videos were the ultimate "comfort food" for any Lego fan. Sadly, Bill is no longer with us, but thanks to you, TrikBrix, the torch has been picked up, held high so the "comfort" lives on. Your reviews are delightful. And all the work you put into each video is on display for all to enjoy. I don't know if you ever saw Bill and Red, but if you had, I know you would've been a fan. In these very trouble times, it's people like you, that remind us of simpler, happier times, and allow us to bring some of that simple and happy into the here and now. Bravo, sir!

The run of the mill skeleton will forever be my favorite

0:54 I'm pretty they got that rolling boulder idea from that Easter egg in serious sam 2. the designer who made this must have been a big fan

Still my favourite Set of all time.

Such a smooth and calming Video. Thats the era of Lego from my childhood. It had so much love and lightness in it that you forget your whole world around you. Thats pure nostalgia and so pleasant to see and watch. 😊

I remember this set. It always had a kinda magical impression on me when I was little. It belonged to my brother and it was pretty much the only set that was not taken apart. All others were in those big boxes, scrumbled and build into different things. But not this set. It was kept in an upper section of a ward robe and only taken out sometimes to play with. I was 3 when it came out and it was always so special when I had it in my hands... Now it rests on one of my shelves in my collection room. This set means so much to me, and I loved your video!

Just stumbling into my favorite Lego set and favorite lego review, again. Just hoping that you would be making more videos again. I miss your reviews, I hope you come back at some point. Meanwhile, I'll keep rewatching the old ones. Take care!

My little brother had this and I had Amazon Ancient Ruins. I swapped my Johnny's hands for Achu's red gloves so we could tell whose Johnny was whose more easily.

I just stumbled across your channel. Your videos are excellent, you deserve way more followers. Keep it up, you will for sure get subscribers in the future!

Add anything else unpleasant... Me: searching for lego minifigures of the in-laws.

It's been a blast traveling across these classic sets through your well made videos. This set will be my Re-Gou ruby. Hope I find one in decent condition. I miss these classic style crocodiles.

I've got this set sitting in my living room right now and yet I keep watching this review. I think I've seen it 5 times now and every time I enjoy it. Great video man, hope to see more from you soon!

@TrikBrix Keep making these. Your level of dedication, polish, and attention to detail is excellent. Just subscribed.

WOW! awesome set and you are a GREAT reviewer its been too long since i found a thorough reviewer who really enjoyes what hes doing

I love this series so much! Thank you for the effort.

I definitely miss the adventure sets. Those were really fun sets growing up. This video was a joy to watch. Definitely going to be checking out more of your videos. Thanks for the retrospective!

Excellent video. This was the single best Lego set I ever owned and it left a lasting impression. I can still remember feeling thrilled and excited as I discovered all the little mechanisms they wanted me to build. I kpet this one intact for months and played with it LOTS. Thanks for making a video that captures it.

I've just recently discovered this channel, and I really enjoy the quality of the video and the commentary. Personally I really love this era of Lego in terms of their own themes: Rock Riders, Adventurers, Aquazone and the original Lego Ninja. In the last few years I've managed to collect some of these sets that I remember just dream about in my childhood. Those are 2995, 5928 and a Jonhy Thunder minifig from Avdenturers, and 3052, 3053, 6013 from Lego Ninja. Keep up with the awesome work! Greetings from Paraguay!

hey man thanks for doing these videos, they're taking me on a real nostalgia trip. I remember playing with the 5935 Island Hopper when I was 7-8 years old I still got parts of it in my unsorted box. also had the 5956 balloon. good times

I just found your channel and wow! I absolutely love it and what you do with the vintage sets. In fact, I like to incorporate vintage sets into my own modern LEGO city layout so your channel is an awesome resource and very professionally done. Thank you! And...thank you for making me go and buy this set on eBay because your review reminded me of how much my kids and I loved it back in it’s day! Keep up the great work.

What a cool classic set...and those prints are stunning!!!

Fun fact: the hieroglyphics on the maps actually spell out the names of the egyptian gods, and the X marks the rough approximation of their main center of worship. For instance, Khnum had his temple in the Southern cataracts, and Anubis at the town of Asyut

4:36 it appears that the colours were unintentionally inverted. Notice how the one on the left has a blue compass with a yellow dial, while on the right, it's a yellow compass with a blue dial. Also, the one on the right has a blue belt buckle, while on the left, its yellow.

Watching this series has led to me hunting down sets again, and funnily enough, this set ended up being the best deal I've managed to get. As of April 2024, 5988 is selling for around £150 in the UK pretty frequently (and even more on Bricklink). I got incredibly lucky and managed to snag a 99.9% complete set for a mere £64. Only missing one pair of binoculars and one of the palm trees has a brown stem piece instead of green. Instructions in beautiful condition and everything else fantastic. Couldn't be happier!

Awesome video dude, great quality

Thinking about treating myself and getting one these old sets , great vid very nostalgic ;)

My sister had this set and passed it down to me when i was 6-7 in 2006, one of my fav sets and it has some great memories... no idea where it ended up though!

Great review and awesome set!

Love the retrospectives :D hoping for the old castle series!

Thanks for this old adventure I love it !! ;p

Not having back torso prints on the back of older Minifigures doesn’t really bother me for some reason. Sometimes I’d even prefer no back torso printing on certain figures

Awesome videos dude

I had this set when I was a kid, this and the sphinx one, gave me hours of entertainment while listening to the Harry Potter audio tapes

Wow i remember this set, had many of the Adventurers series when i was a kid (like in 1999 or so) but my parents never would buy me this one...therefore it's my favorite ;) Cool review!!

This was really nice, so happy to get a review of these old sets. My only complaint/wish that I had was to see all the sets together/put together like when you added the two sets a few episodes ago: I think it would be fun to see them all together and see how big the set would get :)

There is something about the adventures series that I just love

Thanks for making this series about this sub-theme! When this came out I was 8 and I found it very alluring! I did however prefer Pirates and Ninja over adventurers so I never had any of these sets, this was also about when I discovered computer games which resulted in me wishing for less Lego for birthday and Christmas.

This set is my childhood !

I remember this theme at the time. I was 12 years old in 1998 and moving away from Lego. But wish I had gotten at least a small set from this theme at the time. I loved the whole Indiana Jones feel to it.

I love those hieroglyphic panels and bricks! I only have the lame sticker ones

This is the only set I needed from the Adventurers desert set back when I was a child! I just recently searched and it's ridiculously expensive on Ebay! I will get it when the price is reasonable .

this is my new favorite lego set

Cool my brother is going to order me that set

I like the adventures theme the moast and your mi favorite youtuber

This was my gift for Christmas 1999. I still have it 😁

wonderful no other words super cool set

What I would do to fix the windshield issue, is to either replace it with a larger one, or raise it up. There is enough space for a full 1 x 4 x 1 brick to go in its space, and raise it closer to the roof, maintains the ability for the mini figures to see over the dash board

It seems very likely to me that the minifig torso mix-up is a misprint. They swapped the blue and yellow ink, as each color is inverted (like the blue belt buckle). Very cool to have imo.

Man this is my childhood right here- I had the entire Egyptian set and had laid it all out on the kitchen table

Great finale, great set, amazing in-depth review! So glad I came across your channel, your retro reviews are really making me feel the nostalgia. Keep up the brilliant work!

I really want this set same with the sphinx from adventures because i really wanna create a Lego form of egypt👍and Nice vid

I had this at as a kid. My favorite piece was the ruby.

The yellow and blue being entirely swapped on Ms. Reed's torso print definitely points to some odd misprint, akin to one listed on Bricklink for an Octan torso similarly with inverted red and green (not in any set).

This was my favorite lego set as a kid. I wish I knew what happened to it.

This set was amazing. Never owned it myself but I was incredibly jealous of my friend’s set. I wonder how much they go for now... *checks ebay* yeah on second thought, maybe I’ll just stick with the memories.

This is my "holy grail" lego set. (at least from the era when I grew up.)

I always wanted this when i was child. Seen in store, convinced my dad, 2 days later someone bought it. I was mad but got over with it. Still good piece though. This and 5986 are my favorite. Also the hot-rod from 5958 fits with it.

Regarding the odd torso. You have a misprint. You can see the yellow and blue printing had been mixed up by the blue belt buckle

i ove your channel i have some johnny thunder sets from my childhood but i really missed an opportunity to get this set back when it came out

Gday mate just restored this got it for $300 with box and instructions and sphinx secret surprise with it definitely the magnum opus of my collection both sets are amazing together

I remember it was called The temple of Anubis in russian. I got one for a new year. It was my biggest set ever.

This set is my favorite adventures (desert) set with the sphinx at a close second , but i only own the sphinx

I don't know how minifig printing went down back in 1996, but as for the mystery of Gail/Pippin's blue shirt replaced by blue, you can also see her camera's blue an yellow are swapped just like the shirt. Somehow, I guess with that misprinted torso you have, the blue and yellow were applied by a machine in the wrong order.

Hm... With modern storytelling and building methods, I think you could make a great reboot line for the Adventurers theme to tie into a TV show. Season 1 is the "Quest for the Ruby of Re-Gou", Season 2 is the "Safari for the Sun Disk", Season 3 is the "Hunt for the Lost Treasure of Marco Polo", and a direct to TV/direct to streaming movie would be the Dino Island wave. Heck, I'd even take a Tt Games entry that recreates and fleshes out the original stories (that would actually be super fun with how much that series has evolved by now).

Your videos are really high quality, and its a lot of fun to se all these classic sets being reviewed! Keep it up!

When I was a kid I really want it

So dang cool

can you do review of lego system wild west 6785 or any of the later sets ,i couldnt find anybody reviewing them

Will you ever come back to making videos? These were great

I can actually remember these sets from Lego Racers 1. And also I, am trying to collect these sets...

I only got LEGO Star Wars as a kid so I missed out on all these cool themes

One friend had it but not me I was a bit jealous even if I had the Sphinx which is cool too

I love your reviews! Thanks so much for sharing!

my sister had this set for Christmas of 1998 and I had found the photo of the set when she had it

These sets are my favorites... I was grown long before these hit the shelves, but I did purchase the Oasis Ambush set to have on my desk at work. The beast depicted on the entrance is a lion, as you first thought. Lions were part of Ancient Egyptian life, and pharaohs hunted them as a test/testament to their manhood and bravery. The eyes, nose and mouth are definitely those of a lion. Great job on these videos... I'm really enjoying them. I just pulled out my old sets (from the 60s and 70s) and have been getting them cleaned and assembled in order to play with them with my little grandson... look forward to many more hours of fun playing with them again!

I got this!! It was used but in good condition. Some of the parts aren't exactly right, I gotta do a bricklink run. But all the important stuff this there. This shit is so classic.

Prices seem to have doubled in 4 years :O

What a classic

Great video, this first season was a joy to behold. Can’t wait for the next season, but the Wild West will surely be a series to follow too!

Hey man I like your videos 👍👍👍

I actually really enjoy those old skeletons, but unfortunately I don’t have any😞

One day I hope you will review Indiana Jones sets keep up the good work.

Johnny thunder needs a comeback

The amount of influx the price of this set got is just crazy in 2.5 years (and I can see why) Managed to get it for $150 from a more local site complete with box and manual and some extra adventurers vehicules. But that is nothing compared to bricklink where a set without box on average fetches like $180 or so

Excelent review, but in defence of that gap 5:18 between windshield and roof. If you google trucks from 1910's-1920's you can find some vehicles that have same gap, or missing windshield at all. Guess the designers conveniently inspire by that. In any case I love all your videos, and it's shame there isn't nothing new.

good video

I'm so sad these sets came out before I was born! I plant to get the oasis ambush and the mummy tomb sets

Many people missing that on obelisc is writen horus and anubis in hierogliphic egyptian alphabet

I know this video is old, but I can't believe you got this for 40 bucks. The prices are outrageous right now. It's a shame that Lego building has become a business. Haven't seen any for sale lately for a decent price. Guess I'll have to check yard sales more than anything.

love how these sets still reuse parts from the 1980s

Maybe the license plate 'HC' means Harry Caine?

I'd add bout 6 skeletons with headdress from oasis ambush spears OR probably better the sword that Egypt soldiers used (brickwarriors) nice items to use for different figures lol. I'd customized the entrance and have two of those anubis statues or try to get two standing like the medium sized ones in the back guarding the ruby there's so much to update on this set but I really wish that they made a newer version of this for its anniversary but it'll never happen 😑😒

You definitely saved the best for last! I am looking forward to the next series!

Nice

Can you point me in the direction of where I can pick up retired sets without being stung on price, great video
