Ocean Mini-Submarine Reviews
New Elementary
“60263 Ocean Mini-Submarine is the smallest of the range and falls into the 4+ age mark, a bracket which used to be called Juniors and is designed for those who are ready to leave swallow-proof DUPLO behind and tentatively begin their System journey. There is really not a... More lot to say about the build, it could not be much more straightforward! Which fulfils the brief.”
Playing with Bricks
“Overall, this is a set that I can heartily recommend buying as an impulse buy. The Ocean Mini-Submarine set is a set that is ostensible marketed to the youngest of the LEGO system crowd, those aged 4+ (as shown by the giant 4+ on the box front). That being said, the box... More packaging also touts the connection to National Geographic Explorers which is something that I imagine is only of interest to older children (and/or their parents). The set comes with a bright yellow mini submarine, a shark, and a treasure chest in the sand.”
