Insights

Released in 2010 and now retired, Mini Sub (30042) comes from the Atlantis theme and was distributed via a newspaper promotion and limited retail, so sealed copies are uncommon and attract steady collector interest, and its non-exclusive diver and niche IP cap broader demand and upside.

In the UK, the set is distributed through The Daily Mirror's October and November 2010 promotion and is also available at Tesco.
In the US, the set is exclusive to Target.
In Germany, the set is included in a Vedes Birthday Club promotion.
In New Zealand, the set is given away during the National Building Competition in 2011.

“I find this set very enjoyable to play. Not much of a building experience and special parts galore but it definitely gives you so fun to get yourself acquitted with the Atlantis theme.”

Brickset

“The Lego Atlantis mini sub is a very well done polybag with an interesting minifigure and build. The minifigure has the Atlantis helmet with green visor , a dual sided stubble face with a worried and happy expression , the torso and legs are also very nicely flowing into... More each other and finally he has a pair of lime green flippers .”

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.

Summary

Atlantis Mini Sub set 30042 was released in November 2010, retailing for $4, but has since been retired. New, unopened Mini Sub sets are valued at $7, while used sets can be found for $3.
