Outdoor Adventures has been out for a while now, since summer 2018 to be exact. It has been on my wish list from the get-go, but I chose to wait until it was on sale. I had hoped for an amazing discount. However, after over a year of waiting, I finally gave up and settled for a 20% off sale.

I really enjoyed the LEGO® Group’s return to the Arctic with the City theme of 2018. The sets focused on the discovery of body fossils.
