“A great impulse set, you'll end up grabbing a handful of these things if you happen to notice then hiding along the bottom of the impulse buy station of the checkout.”

“The instructions are on a folded sheet of paper, either side following LEGO's clear step-by-step illustrations. As a small, polybag set, there are only 42 pieces in this set. Most of which are black and go for creating the look of the Octopus. There is an odd ball piece of... More one of the Atlantis Portal Rings. The ring is alright, I'm just not sure what to do with it or where to put it.”

About Atlantis

The Atlantis was a theme introduced in 2010 whose story line is about a group of explorers that are searching the sea floor for the eponymous lost city of Atlantis from ancient myths. The theme reprises several elements from earlier underwater LEGO themes including Aquazone, Divers and Aqua Raiders. The Atlantis theme also has a more elaborate back story than its predecessors, showcased on a dedicated website. Each of the sets are equipped with a wide array of red futuristic underwater vehicles with light green viewports and weaponry.
