@The Reader different axles, but it's a good idea.

I'll give it a try ...

I will celebrate a source of new parts for building with and new figure parts to use. 

The red panda is adorable, the sub-theme is neat.

Regarding sets 60424, 60425 and 60426: I‘ll change the blue parts of the quad, the plane and the truck against orange ones so that the colour scheme is orange-white-olive. I think that will look far better. 😎

Nothing confirmed but just me wondering - Is Monkie Kid going to be discontinued soon?

This seems off topic, but the theme just celebrated its 5th anniversary and a new season with sets based on it is around the corner, so there is no sign of it stopping anytime soon. I don’t think they would’ve celebrated this milestone if they didn’t intend to keep it going.

Monkie kid was a breath of fresh air to me at least. I hope we will see at least another full year after this one.

Yeah. It’s just a silly quesiton i had in my mind. But I am glad htat Monkie Kid will stay around. I don’t want another licensed theme taking that spot after Monkie Kid’s departure. I love original in-house themes, although licensed themes still offer us useful pieces for Adventurers.

MODERATORS???

Can you PLEASE read this... we need a NEW topic for all ADVENTURE... From Indiana Jones to LEGO CITY subthemes. CITY sub themes are adventure? NOT CITY anymore.

Pepper has already said that mods have no power over forum structure. Posting in this topic isn’t going to get that Adventure subforum made that you seem to be obsessed with for some reason. Talk to an admin directly about this if you must.

We have now 3 adventure topics in this forum:

- adventure
- CITY/adventure
- Indiana Jones

It‘s „Adventurers“ if you mean the 1998 - 2003 theme.

It's not really that difficult to understand.

This (the Action and Adventure Themes) section is for all of LEGO's original action themes (that aren't directly space or castle related). Right now that's just Monkie Kid and Ninjago.

The LEGO Town section is where we put the main discussion topics for all of the City-branded sets, though that doesn't stop relevant ones being discussed elsewhere, like the Space line being discussed in the Sci-Fi section in addition to the Town section.

Indiana Jones is in Licensed, because it's a Licensed them. (Yes there are a couple of exceptions to that rule, like PotC when it existed in the Pirates section and LotR in the History section).

There's no need for a dedicated section for adventure type themes, and to be honest, the current City-branded jungle theme that includes Johnny Thunder is way less action-adventure-y than the 2017 one, and way more in line with LEGO's recent arctic or Africa themes, which nobody was arguing should be here in Action and Adventure Themes.

Ultimately we try to have the structure to be as user friendly as it can, while also parcelling out the active themes to keep all of the different sections alive (where there's interest in them), but of course there is overlap here and there and we just have to make a call.

Yes BUT now we speak Johnny Thunder in CITY/subtheme

so... CITY should be break sections... SPACE / SCI-FI / STAR WARS should all be in same place...

You can create (or dig up, if one exists) a topic in the section for discussion Eurobricks itself to talk about this if you want to:

https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/forum/6-forum-information-and-help/

Please don't derail this one (or ones in City) with discussions about overall forum structure.

What is the point of this topic?

Is this the place writing about NEW Johnny Thunder? NEW tiger for example? NEW Exploration brand?

You should read the first post of a thread if you want to know what it is about. Though, it hasn´t really only be used for that if we look on the posts ;). 

As for your wish to discuss things as mentioned above, Adventure Supplies: Parts from other themes for Adventurers! - LEGO Action and Adventure Themes - Eurobricks Forums this is probably the thread you are looking for if you are looking to discuss certain parts/minifiugres. If you want to discuss the sets/subtheme itself, the Town/City Subforum is probably the better place to do so.

If Johnny Thunder is in CITY/Jungle Exploration ... then is that Adventure theme?

For Eurobricks purposes, no. For yourself, it can be whatever you want it to be.

Please stop asking the same thing over and over in slightly different ways.

If the box says City, it's City. If the box says some other LEGO-created theme name, it could be Adventure.

(Johnny Thunder was also in the LEGO Movie and in a previous Minifigure series, which also didn't make either of those adventure themes for our purposes.)
