Johnny Thunder Returns to LEGO with Arctic Polar Express Train

It is brick built world out there and LEGO continues to bring it to life as they debut new sets for LEGO City with Johnny Thunder

Johnny Thunder is one of LEGO's classic adventurers and starred in the Adventurers theme sets from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Before they gained the rights to make Indiana Jones LEGOs, this series was inspired by Dr. Jones and other pulp action heroes. Johnny Thunder traveled the world from Egyptian tombs to jungle ruins, facing off against mummies, ancient traps, and rivals. He always wears his fedora and red bandana, but vanished for years, only to return with new LEGO City Explorer sets. 

Johnny Thunder is now back with the new Explorers' Arctic Polar Express Train set that comes in at 1,517 pieces. Explore the tundra with this set, which features a remote-controlled LEGO-powered up train that measures 27.5" long. The set has 22 pieces of track along with a mountain tunnel with a rockfall gimmick, 5 other explorers, and plenty of gear to help them on their arctic mission. Discover the habitat of two Arctic foxes with this set that is priced at $209.99. Johnny Thunder is ready for yet another mission in August 2025, and pre-orders are already live.
