TrikBrix

Hi all! Having been a fan of the Adventurers theme for over 20 years now, I’ve decided that it’s high time some of these classic sets got the attention they deserved, so I’ve embarked on a little adventure of my own, reviewing every single Adventurers set ever released on my YouTube channel, TrikBrix. And I’m happy to say that I’m nearing the end of season 2, where we’ve been looking at the Jungle subtheme. I was still learning the ropes of videography in the beginning, so the first few videos aren’t quite up to my current standard, but I hope you can look past that and enjoy them just the same. All of the music is completely custom, as well. Happy adventures! Here’s a link to the entire series (so far): Complete LEGO Adventurers Retrospective Series - TrikBrix

That’s awesome! 5988 is one of my all time favorites, and an excellent addition to any collection! Congrats! And thanks so much for watching; I’m thankful to have the opportunity to share these classic sets with everyone. ??

Thank you! ?? Thanks! And that’s awesome - it had been on my wishlist for a few decades, as well. ?

Finally wrapped up the fantastic 1989 wave! Enjoy! Episode 7 - Sabre Island Episode 8 - Eldorado Fortress

I spent some quality time with this little gem... hope you guys enjoy it! Ep. 6 - Caribbean Clipper

Just wrapped up Episode 5! Only three sets to go in the ‘89 wave! Episode 5 - Tiny Treasures

Wow, thank you for the kind words! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it. And I’ll get right to work on more episodes! :D

Here’s episode three and four, mateys! Hope you guys are enjoying them as much as I am! Ep.3 - Castaway’s Raft Ep.4 - Forbidden Island

Totally, and it was a nice way to augment Forbidden Island.

Thanks for all the kind words, folks. Here’s episode 2. It’s not quite as spectacular as the BSB, but it was released in ‘89, so it belongs in the 30th Anniversary Retrospective Series. Plus, it’s a pretty cool little set. Enjoy! 30th Anniversary Pirates Retrospective Ep. 2 - Shipwreck Island!

Same for me — I was only 4 when the first wave hit shelves, and I was also in the midst of a long dark age when Pirates 2 & 3 were available. And if Lego decides to revisit the theme, they can definitely count on me to do my part. :D I actually just purchased the Caribbean Clipper on eBay, and I’m eagerly awaiting its arrival. It was the last 1989 set I needed, so I can’t wait to review it. A D2C Eldorado Fortress would be AMAZING. Or even an updated Barracuda with the Imperial Flagship treatment - big and beautiful.

Thank YOU for watching! Glad you liked it! I remember spending hours as a kid gazing wistfully at the BSB... it took me about 25 years to finally get my hands on one, lol. But it became an instant favorite of mine, as well. Definitely top 3 all-time.

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it! They definitely were the good old days!

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! And I REALLY hope Lego does something for the anniversary - ANYthing - but we’ll see. It’s not a licensed theme, so I don’t think it’s too high on their list of priorities.

Ahoy, mateys! Longtime reader, first time poster here, so hopefully I’m doing everything right. I just wanted to share my own little celebration of the Pirates 30th Anniversary, a complete retrospective review series on YouTube of every set in the original 1989 wave, beginning with one of the greatest Lego sets of all time. I felt like the BSB was long overdue for a high quality, in-depth analysis. Hope you scurvy dogs enjoy it! Check out the playlist on Trixbrix's YouTube Channel for all 11 retrospectives.
