Sup everyone! I'd like to open up discussion on which old lego themes (let's say old is anything before this decade started) do you think could be revamped for today's kids? For example: Without the presence of Indiana Jones, I think a similar theme to Adventurers/Orient Express could do well in today's audience. I also think a Rock Raiders or Power Miner's theme would do also do well. What are ya'll's thoughts? Any other ideas ya'll have? Agree or disagree with my ideas?

So, having discovered that some the less loved sets in my collection are actually among the most valuable, I'm gearing up to sell my entire collection of Adventurers kits, including a large number of those from the Orient Expedition subtheme. The problem is, if I want to advertise them as 100% complete (which they almost are) I'm going to have to replace the rubber bands utilized in a couple of sets. This will not be easy, because one of the sets, 7415 Aero-Nomad, requires the rubber bands to be stretched out many times their normal length in order to attach the net to the balloon. And, as anyone who has old sets knows, rubber bands from that era become rather brittle over time if exposed to the air. So, does anyone have suggestions as to where I can find a set of those exact rubber bands that will not break when stretched in the way 7415 requires them to be? (Assuming, that is, that it's even possible to find thirteen year old lego rubber bands MISB. I'll be honest, I can't even remember whether or not they were packaged in air sealed bags like the other components)
