Here, we examine the set that will allow Minifigures to

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.

This year, we get a much anticipated return to space. I have a number of sets from this assortment in line for review over the next few weeks,
