Collector and Investor Standing
City's Deep Sea Explorers line gives collectors a proper underwater mission: a chest tucked into a whale skeleton, with a shark making retrieval awkward. The submarine's glass cockpit and robotic grabber make the scene especially appealing. Plenty of members own or want it, while investor interest sits on steadier ground.

“The new Deep Sea Explorers sets are very much 'more of the same': updated versions of Divers and Aquazone sets, but no real innovation. If you were a fan of them you will either love these too, or will pass on them given you have similar sets already. The submarine certainly... More benefits from the use of modern parts and updated building techniques but, disappointingly, there are no new parts in the set at all, not even minifig parts.”

“The sub has an opening bubble cockpit that fits one minifigure, two articulated mechanical arms, and tilting thrusters. The environment piece has a whale ribcage and a sunken treasure chest. ”

Explore the secrets of the ocean with the Deep Sea Submarine! The LEGO® City deep-sea explorers have spotted a mysterious chest lying in a whale skeleton, but a huge, snappy shark is preventing them from reaching it. Open the submarine’s glass bubble cockpit, climb aboard and submerge, using the powerful tilting thrusters to propel you through the water. When you reach the site, use the searchlight and grabber located on the sub’s robotic arms to retrieve the chest. Will it contain the lost treasure? Includes 3 minifigures with assorted accessories: a submariner and 2 scuba divers.
