The Shipwreck Reviews
Brickipedia
“The shipwreck comprises just the bow section of a sailing ship and one mast with the steering wheel. In front of the mast lies a treasure chest that triggers the mast to collapse when removed. Inside the wreck is also a golden plate with jewels and a King Skeleton with a... More crown. The submarine is a bigger version of the one from 7775 Aquabase Invasion and has two robot arms and a longer tail section with two propellers, as well as a small rotatable harpoon rack on its roof.”

“This set is the most expensive so far for the Aqua Raiders sets in terms of current sales. You'll be expecting to pay close to $60 for this used, meaning closer to $90 for a new one. The price is on the rise, so get it while you can. Again, it's very collectible, especially... More if you're going for the whole theme.”

“This set has 3 figs and plenty of accessories. There are 2 divers, each with printed backs! Printed backs are fairly rare and the Aqua raiders series delivers on this consistently. The other figure is a skeleton king to go with the shipwreck. There are 7 gems, 5 spear guns,... More flippers, a scuba tank and helmet, a cap for the other figure, a crown for the king, and some odds and ends. The 2 minifigs have some nice unique/rare faces on them which is a big bonus.”

About Aqua Raiders
LEGO released the Aqua Raiders theme in 2007 which was comprised of seven sets and no subthemes as the theme was later discontinued the same year. Most of the sets followed a common scheme consisting of the Aqua Raiders with a vessel, a piece of sea floor where a treasure was hidden and a monstrous sea creature that stood between the divers and their loot. The general story was about the divers of Aqua Raiders seeking treasure in the Bermuda Triangle, where they utilize high-tech submarines and special equipment to look for the lost treasure of an ancient king.
Summary
Aqua Raiders The Shipwreck set 7776 was released on October 24, 2007, retailing for $25, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $140, used ones can be found for $60.
