We’re so glad to have you here! Lore Escape is for those who love deep dives into worldbuilding and storytelling. We'll be looking deep into LEGO themes and characters from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s (though directed at those who grew up with these, not for kids), as well as Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, and the Marvel and DC cinematic multiverses. If you routinely have a million wiki tabs open after a hard day, this channel is for you.

Friend of the channel @VezonWireless has a great video here about the rediscovery of a cancelled Adventurers theme in 2005 that ended up impacting everything from Dino Attack to Vikings! Definitely check this video out, especially if you or anyone you know was on Eurobricks back in 2005--the investigation is ongoing!

Woo hoo folks, we did it! Thanks in no small part to the TrikBrix shoutout yesterday, we've finally ticked over the 3000 subscriber mark! Thank you so much to everyone who's supported the channel over the last few years.

I'm working on a subscriber special video to mark the occasion. I wasn't expecting to get here for another couple of weeks, so it won't be the next video, but the good news is that if you have any questions you'd like answered, let me know and I can work them in!

The legendary ‪@TrikBrix‬ just posted an excellent review of the King's Mountain Fortress, a set that loomed large in my imagination as a kid! He's also given the Mystery of the Black Monarch video and this channel a shout out--a very pleasant surprise! :) Check out the review ASAP!

‪@Ride_Creator‬ has posted a great video about the classic LEGOLAND coaster The Dragon. As part of my Castle lore deep dive I've been looking at a lot of footage of this attraction, so I really enjoyed this look at the ride and why it's been duplicated 11 times across every LEGOLAND Park. Check it out!

Hey folks, ‪@VezonWireless‬ has posted a really fun video on the lost lore of that 2010 theme--oops, I mean 2005 theme--Dino Attack and its maybe-mechanical maybe-mutant dinosaurs! Run, don't walk over there and check it out.

‪@TrikBrix‬ has posted the long awaited 1998 Adventurers Retrospectacle, and it's a nostalgic feast for the eyes! I've owned all of these sets for decades, but some of the details captured in this video are things I've never noticed. It's a great celebration of one of the all time best LEGO themes.

‪@DuckBricks‬ has a really interesting video interview with Christian Faber up. Some things I hadn't really heard before include an explanation for how Advance was created to be LEGO's go-to ad agency, some great stories behind those amazing catalog dioramas from the 80s and 90s, and the secret (well, new to me at least) backstory behind LEGO Friends.

One area of lore I particularly enjoy escaping into is the 1992 Young Indiana Jones Chronicles prequel TV series. The ‪@YoungIndyChroniclers‬ are doing an absolutely fantastic job of documenting the making of this series--and the folks behind the scenes--in their multi-season podcast, now debuting its season 3 episode. This amazing show had such a fascinating, bizarre, counter-intuitive, and convoluted production and evolution that I'd highly recommend the podcast it even if you haven't seen the show itself yet. (But you should!)

I can't say I 100% understand what's going on here, but I love the vibes. ;) If you're a Time Cruisers fan check out this concept album from ‪@dreamcastleTM‬ , as well as their mysterious Time Cruiser site from somewhere in the fan multiverse time continuum: timecruiserscentral.neocities.org/

You all know I love mini retro LEGO cinematics, and Studframes Animation has taken this LEGO Island 2 classic and elevated it with some amazing animation! Fantastic job, check it out!
