Sam Sinister Switcheroo: The History of LEGO Adventurers Names

Whew, this is... quite literally, my biggest video ever. It's the culmination of 20 years of being a big LEGO Adventurers fan followed by 4 years of in-depth research, documentation, and tons of Brickipedia edits to catalog every instance and source I could find on the series' confusing and convoluted history of naming characters. I had no idea when I started that this would be over an hour and a half long! That's why it took so long to make, and unfortunately why I missed the deadline on getting this video out before the end of 2023, the Adventurers' 25th anniversary. Thank you all so much for watching. My videos really don't get many views, so the amount of time and effort put into this video is probably disproportionately high compared to how many people will see it. But for anyone who is as much of a LEGO nerd as I am, I really appreciate this opportunity to share my love for the franchise with you.
