January 21, 201015 yr Love the look of the later set and the creatures look suitably menacing. The new fig is very mysterious and I love all the different trolls that Lego is making. "Trolls" that is However I'm awaiting pics on the big set, as that will be the only one for me to consider buying, and its delay in having a good picture further fuels my fervent fandom for its fleeting findings. Wow, that last part was on drugs, ignore that Batbrick Away!
January 21, 201015 yr Today I got the Wreck Raider and Monster Crab Attack sets. I like them both. The crab has cool posable legs and the Raider is fun to swoosh. I think the Atlantic keys would make good wheels on some wizard's cart of tricks. And also talismans for 9 MOCs. Sharky is cute. :3 Also it's cool to have harpoon gun and grappling hook pieces now, as I'd never gotten any before.
January 21, 201015 yr Was the red Octupus guy in 8061 available in any other set, like an impulse buy? For some reason I keep thinking I saw him in one, but I could be blending memories. Also i really want to get a better picture of that Underwater base, and the price point. I need to decide if its going to be worth picking up one (or two) or I should just buy the parts and MOC my own.
January 21, 201015 yr No it is only available in 8061. But I think in the new portal of atlantis 8078 is one too. I hope also for better pictures of the underwater base but there aren't any in the Internet at the moment.
January 21, 201015 yr Okay, now that I've finally seen some images and found out about the story of the Atlantis movie, I've noticed a few obvious things. Some particular things, such as the Gateway of the Squid and Neptune Carrier sets, are upscaled in the movie. I'm not sure if this was in the movie, but in the review, they also mixed up the colours of the squid ring and the manta ray ring. I also thought of something interesting. In the movie, we see Atlantis as being a golden, ancient Greek-like city, as it's normally portrayed. The new minifigure also has golden armour. Maybe the armour's linked to the city? It also explains the spartan-like style of the helmet. Another thought briefly flashed through my mind. Maybe the inhabitants were mutated into sea creatures, or something? That further explains the armour. Also, it would definitely explain the motives of the creatures if this was true.

January 22, 201015 yr Another thought briefly flashed through my mind. Maybe the inhabitants were mutated into sea creatures, or something? That further explains the armour. Also, it would definitely explain the motives of the creatures if this was true. I was thinking about that recently. Yes, it would give them good reason to want to protect the keys.
January 22, 201015 yr ok, I'm losing this 'debait' aren't I? Crabs are small, lego made them big and menacing in set form and the movie, so it's possible that we may see a giant evil nautilus! Oh, god! It doesn't sound very menacing, does it? "OMG A GIANT NAUTILUS!!!!" he he he that might be cool Edited January 22, 201015 yr by EspEth12
January 22, 201015 yr Nice idea about the mutation. It can be true... Just look on Manta Warrior torso- It looks like destroyed jacket.
January 22, 201015 yr It can be true... Just look on Manta Warrior torso- It looks like destroyed jacket. That might be an idea, because if it was a human civilisation, it would make sense. Good idea, but, I don't think the torso is connected.
January 22, 201015 yr It can be true... Just look on Manta Warrior torso- It looks like destroyed jacket. Considering that Atlantis was an ancient city with ancient people, I doubt it's actually a rotten jacket.
January 22, 201015 yr Considering that Atlantis was an ancient city with ancient people, I doubt it's actually a rotten jacket. that was a creative idea but i don't think so.
January 23, 201015 yr It can be true... Just look on Manta Warrior torso- It looks like destroyed jacket. I always thought it was part of the body itself. I'll have to get the minifig first. Another theory why it might be a mutation is that they're obviously humanoid, something we haven't seen in the last few underwater themes, e.g. Aqua Raiders. It could just be Lego deciding to have more of a variety, or maybe it could be both. That gives me another idea. After they find Atlantis, maybe they'll try to find out where the creatures came from, and why they protect the rings, though I'm pretty sure we won't see that idea in sets.

Well its probally because they're are trying to keep people from entering the lost city of Atlantis
January 25, 201015 yr Considering that Atlantis was an ancient city with ancient people, I doubt it's actually a rotten jacket. Maybe later people who drowned in the region also got mutated. It's an interesting hypothesis, for certain. Not sure if it'll ever be explored by the actual story, since we haven't seen much hinting at a steadily-developing story structure for this line (i.e. online comics or something to that effect).
January 25, 201015 yr LINKY! Has anone seen this guy yet? He is gonna be in the Shark Temple. Edited January 25, 201015 yr by Jar Jar
January 25, 201015 yr LINKY! Has anone seen this guy yet? He is gonna be in the Shark Temple. Read a few pages back. But thanks anyway.
January 28, 201015 yr Anyone who has Mars Mission aliens now has kelp people too. :D I like to pretend that mine are "neutral" and just attack the heck out of everyone.
January 28, 201015 yr Anyone who has Mars Mission aliens now has kelp people too. :DI like to pretend that mine are "neutral" and just attack the heck out of everyone. :) I have like 10. Now I need to build a kelp field.
January 29, 201015 yr Well its probally because they're are trying to keep people from entering the lost city of Atlantis Well, that's almost certain, but why? On a different topic, I wonder if there are going to be any other sets after the Portal of Atlantis set. Personally, I think it would be an ideal way to finish the line, but that wouldn't be a good thing. There are still possibilities for new creatures. Oh, and maybe in the base, we'll see the minifigs out of their diving suits, like in the Atlantis movie.
January 29, 201015 yr Oh, and maybe in the base, we'll see the minifigs out of their diving suits, like in the Atlantis movie. I hope so. Those were much better "inside" clothes than the hose-covered suits they're wearing now.
January 30, 201015 yr I'm not sure if you have seen these movies yet. http://atlantis.lego.com/en-us/Movies/Default.aspx One interesting thing, is that at the end of part 6, they have different newspapers, and one is called the AFOL TIMES.
January 31, 201015 yr Thanks for the new pics Pig! You're on the frontpage. I'll deeplink the other pics here as well. Love that snake! Ya the snake looks awesome but i think it is an eel lol!
