LEGO Orient Expedition is celebrating its 20th Anniversary this year and what better way to celebrate than with a full blown R.R. Slugger Retrospective series! This episode marks the first step in that journey; here, we cover the general history of the theme, an important series disclaimer, and what to expect from these videos going forward.
I hope you'll join me as we follow in the footsteps of Johnny Thunder and his fellow Adventurers searching for the fabled treasures of Marco Polo!
