According to this, they aired as bumpers in-between shows, just like Spongebob: Re-Hydrated. They were about 1 minute long and aired all-together at one point.
Hope this helps
Afraid it doesn't. I already linked this on the first post. Thanks for trying to help though.

It looks like the message boards at Lego.com are shutting down tomorrow. I wish I would've went there sooner and started a thread about this. I looked through a bunch of old threads, but didn't see anything.

Yeah they wouldn't be of much use anyway. Most of them are fairly young and won't know much about it. Plus the LMB is highly restricted. You can't post links there or anything. If you want help from the fanbase go to sites like eurobricks, rockraidersunited, brickset (etc). The user base there is a lot older. In fact I may ask Huw of brickset if he knows anything. He's been running brickset since 1997 so he may know something about this.
I've tried emailing Cartoon Network UK, but my messages just can't get through. The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect. [cartoonnetwork.co.uk 54.229.253.42: timed out]

So, I guess I'll try the US email address.
Good idea. I'd like to add that Britain is the only confirmed place where it aired. It may have aired in other countries. We just have no evidence at this time that it did. I'm not sure how CN's archiving system works. So it's very possible in may be in an American archive for whatever reason.

There's also the phone number, if anyone wants to try. 404-827-1700

I don't know if there are rules about bumping older topics here so apologies if I'm breaking anything but did anyone have luck here? I ask because I'm the person who originally bumped the topic about this show on bzpower.com over a year ago and was hoping there'd been some news of someone tracking it down!
To clear up any confusion, the show was shot using the original sets, not hand-drawn or CGI animation. I imagine this is why I liked it so much as a child - it actually showed you the sets that I was so excited by.
I think the Lego Pirates 1994 advert that someone posted is perhaps closest to how it looked. I believe it may have also used something of a 'comic book' style of presentation - that is to say, events would happen in one 'panel', and then the narrator would announce the next panel with a kind of "But suddenly!" style announcement.
On the subject of the narrator, I think the story was basically voiced by one person - the narrator. They would adopt different voices for each character. Sam Grant (the name of the Johnny Thunder character on the show) would often say "a-HA!" This is maybe a weird detail to remember, but there you go.
I remember I only saw the omnibus episode once, and it was later on the network, towards the time it went off air for the evening (which may have been around 9pm but I'm not sure). I remember one show I wanted to watch more often PURELY to try and catch the Adventurers show was Batman: The Animated Series. But I never caught the full omnibus again.
I'm pretty sure it was just a UK thing. It didn't seem very Americanised at all. It was probably very cheap and basically just a glorified advert for the sets, but I just want to find someone else who remembers it, just to know that I'm not going mad really.
I loved Lego Adventurers as a kid and got the Sphinx set for Christmas. And I loved television, so this tiny TV bit left a huge impression on me. I hope someone else has information at some point. My memories of this may be incorrect (I was only 8 years old when it aired after all) but they hopefully give you something to go.

It's good to see that someone remembers watching it air. The last time I tried contacting Cartoon Network all I got was an automatically generated message. I'll be sure to look into this, thank you!
So for a year now I've been interested in a supposed animated series based on the old Lego theme known as "Adventurers". I came across this on a thread on BZPower asking about the series. Next to no evidence of it's existence remains. The only evidence for it was an ad in a UK Lego magazine from 1998 which advertised the series. According to the ad it first aired on cartoon network (presumably UK) on March 23rd of that year. There are no screenshots or videos of it anywhere. As well as that others have claimed to have searched Lego fansites with no success. On the thread someone did come forward claiming to have seen it and gave a description. However there is no way to verify this. I've checked trademarks and old scans but still nothing that mentions the TV series other then that ad. I was wondering if anyone could help me dig this thing up. Assuming it was ever aired or even existed.
I have a very vague memory of watching something like this around 2007 with my older cousin, who had it on VHS. After asking him just now, he told me me that he had recorded it on a VHS live while it was on the air, and had 10 beta tapes, each with a different short. Unfortunately he is in college in miami, and I live in maine, so he cant help me find it. I took a thorough look in his VHS collection when he told me to look there, but I couldn't find anything. All I found was one tape titled "adventurers pt. 3", but all of the film had been dragged out of the tape, with broken areas and places where the film was slashed. I'm guessing once of my little cousins got a hold of it, or me when I was little. I don't know if the tape can be restored or anything. Good luck with your search.

Have you tried taping it back together? I had a VHS copy of Hey Arnold: The Movie with the film cut in half, so I took the tape apart, taped the film, put it all back together and played it in the VCR. And sure enough, it worked.
The VBirds thing CNUK aired years later also took the format of "split up into minute fragments that makes a whole story" or so. There was also a VBirds Perfect miniseries which I haven't seen anything of on the internet. I've also tried to contact CNUK about their tv shows on iTunes with no proper response.
These videos were previously discussed and not confirmed to be the series. In fact, some of the links above existed several years after the estimated date of the series, as Orient Expedition was a toy line from 2003.
