Lego Adventurers is a Lego theme based on an early 20th century 'explorer' concept. The characters explore new areas, and go on adventures. Unlike other lego themes, which take place in a fictional "Lego Universe", most of the Adventurers sets takes places in real-world locations, such as Egypt, the Amazon rainforest, the Himalayas, India, and China. The only fictional sub-theme took place on an island where prehistoric creatures still lived. The theme was discontinued before Lego acquired the license for Indiana Jones, to which the theme had numerous similarities.

Egypt (1998–1999)

The fist subtheme starts off with Johnny and company in a 1930s type of Egypt. The main goal for Johnny is to explore the ancient egypt structures, and find the "Re-Gou ruby" before any of his enemies obtain it first.

Characters introduced:

Johnny Thunder: The leading man in the Lego Adventurers line. He is Australian and is a daring, compassionate archaeologist. He sports a khaki shirt with a red bandanna, black legs, and a bush hat.

Dr. Charles Lightning: One of Johnny Thunder's companions on his epic adventures. He is a professor and is Johnnys uncle, but like a father figure to him. He sports a pith helmet, a white shirt with a red bow-tie, and green legs. He was later renamed "Dr. Kilroy".

Gail Storm: The female companion of Johnny Thunder who is a budding journalist, recording all of the adventures. She sports a green jacket, red legs, and either a pith helmet or pilot helmet. She was later renamed "Pippin Reed".

Harry Cane: A companion of Johnny Thunder who is an experienced pilot. He wears a pilot helmet with a brown leather jacket and black legs.

Baron von Barron: Formerly Sam Sinister's best goon. The main villain in the Adventurers line, he seeks to take things he considers valuable, including trapping dinosaurs. He has a scarred face and sports a monocle, khaki shirt with holster, grey legs, epaulettes, and either a pith helmet, top hat, or pilot helmet. His left hand is a hook. He was later renamed "Lord Sam Sinister", which caused some confusion with the character of Sam Sinister (who disappeared from the Adventurers canon after the name change).

Sam Sinister: The boss of Baron von Barron. One of the main villains, he dresses entirely in black and is a representation of the archetypal "villain". He wears glasses. He later went by the nickname "Slyboots".
