City of Atlantis Reviews
BZPower
“Overall, this set has lots of nice columns that show off the cool architecture of the Atlanteans. Additionally, the green seaweed pieces make it feel like it's underwater. It's very unique among the other sets in the Atlantis theme.”

Eurobricks
“Above average according to me, well worth a buy if you like the pieces and minifigs. To me this is the kind of set I had hoped all of the Atlantis set would be like when I first heard about the theme, with Greek inspired architecture submerged ruins clad in seaweed, I very... More happy we finally got one.”
Brickipedia
“The City of Atlantis is a building that features what appears to be Greek architecture. There are stairs leading up to a main floor, and beneath the main floor is a lower level with a golden gate and a dungeon. There is also a treasure chest, a trap door, lots of pillars... More holding up the roof and 2 tridents on the main floor. Other Minifigures included are a Golden Atlantis Warrior, a Barracuda Guardian and a Lobster Guardian that all have tridents.”
