Lego Atlantis sets close-up


Recently, Thepaleman9 and Model Gal from Flickr have managed to get hold of two of the 2010 Atlantis sets!

Thepaleman9 got his off Toys 'R' Us, where they were on sale for about thirty minutes until TLG or TRU realized this and pulled them off the site. Luckily, Thepaleman9 got about 20 of the impulse sets, and here's his pictures...

Here's the box. Small, neat and with the new ring piece as a size guide.

Some of the finer details - the shiny ring part, with a space for a technic axel in the back. The new claw part is sharper-looking than the old one, and longer too. The new big helmet is quite bulk, but has some nice technic holes. And take a gander at those crazy printed legs!

Here's the whole set. There's some pale orange horns (old ones this time) and some crazy stickers. For what would probably cost £5, this looks like a good deal.

Model Gal managed to get her claws onto a much larger Atlantis set...


The shark looks huge, and has a gigantic tail. That long slope on the tail has only been in one set before - the large-scale Lambourgini. There's also some of those new claws, and the usual horns in black, which is new. The stickers promise to be interesting in this set as well:


So they look promising! Also, the lucky barstool Reasonably Clever Chris has got hold of two Space Police 2010 sets and a Power Miners 2010 set.
