Every time I view it, I see something that I missed. I especially like the shape of the ventral hull, and that (sensor array?).. real nice!

This is such a great use of the rubber tank treads pieces, that I am going to space pirate that idea to expand my blacktron's mobile ground unit forces right now!!

My thoughts exactly! If I'm not mistaken it also has the first printed arm design?

I think not without pretty much destroying it in the process. I don't really see a potentail with the pegs out anyhow. They are not particularly compatible any other way than they were intended.

Normal minifig leg pegs. The pegs themselves are made of the normal plastic and are attached to the rubbery legs with what appears to be a couple of locking wedges.

The squid warrior's octopus "arms" for legs are molded with an upturn to them. They are also made with the same slightly flexible rubber type as the heads or the original octopus.

I hope they don't adorn the two towers by slapping a couple of these sharks on them. I will likely buy it regardless, but I would prefer a BBB.

Most of your shots seem to make the set look even better than the box art, especially Combustix.

Pinch me, I'm dreaming! The only fault this set has was the sticker factor. I love the patterns so much, that I don't hesitate slapping them on though.

I was able to pick up the other 2 atlantis sets at the OverlandPark store plus the new small SP3 set as well. ________ Judging from one of the set art pages in the instructions, it looks as if there is going to be a shark temple that will require at least four of the keys?

I like jerkin' the mechanism!

I love the barbs! They remind me of the finlets on a tuna. I think that's top of the caudal fin, and it's extremely long! Overall I get the impression that these creatures are mechanical or biomechanical in nature, because they all have a little something extra from their more realistic counterparts. A shark with barbs. The crab has multiple compound eyes (with the exception of the horseshoe crab most just have the two.) And the giant squid has a spinning ring of teeth. These are the reasons why I love it and likely the same reasons why some of you don't. Fantastical creatures for a fantastic theme. Brick built beasts are back!

I just aquired the turbo sub set and wanted to convey some of the questions I had answered and observations. The atlantis key piece; it has a 1x1 cylinder like connection on the bottom with an ability to turn an axle but not grip to it. It will connect to a stud or between 4 studs. The diver's headgear is compatable with the astronaut's chrome blue and gold visors. Shark warrior has some atlantian patterns on top of its head and has a lateral hole within his mouth in wich a lightsaber blade shaped piece may fit. There are a couple 1x3 smooth red plates in the sub set. When flipping the sub's mechanism, If you dont lock the clip to the handle pieces it moves quite smoothly... but once you do lock them in, it does become a jerky maneuver to release it. Btw, the turbo sub was the only set available my area of Kansas City so far but I will "collect them all!" I can't wait for a manta warrior set so I can see what if any secrets he holds under his mantastic head.

Have you seen this yet? guardian shark pic and the tentacled tyrant's terrifying teeth

Now that's the "squidman" I was hoping for! Not that thrilled with the subs being red, but.... pop off the propellers and snap on a few "M" insignia and a couple magnets and you got some sweet new M-Tron ships to add to your antiquated armada.
