Atlantis 2010

I like how these sets are really cheap

compared to other themes such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones

Lego isn't paying a license fee for its in house themes.

Here's a great way to army build Squid King figs - one with each book

Cheap!

Wow! Only about $3.50 each...that's like an impulse set!

Free shipping too!

But the question we're all dying to hear the answer to is: is the quality of the plastic normal or Chinese?

It's hard to tell with the proper sets anyway - that's what sucks about the Chinese move. The 'rings' are bagged separately. But I wouldn't be surprised if the complicated printed headpieces of the figs like the shark dude, manta or Squiddy came from China as well

This image does show a torso with neck mark but it is likely just a mock-up anyway.

I'm willing to bet half the purchases of that will be for the figure alone.

Although I clicked the link a couple of times, and I noticed that the price went up to $5.91 the second time, so not quite as worth it as I previously thought. :| What the Karz it went back down to $3.74.

Interesting... I was just noticing a Polish version of a similar book yesterday among the upcoming releases from http://www.ameet.pl (I check periodically because this is the company that often publishes LEGO and BIONICLE books in Europe, so it's a good place to learn about that stuff in advance).

Difference is, the Polish version comes with a sharkman. I haven't bothered running the title through Google Translate, so I can't be sure it's the same book, but... it looks similar. Perhaps there'll be a variety of books with different figs?

Although the squid guys are cool, I'd rather the green dude with armor from the portal set. May get some squidies though.

[Lordofdragonss]

Hmm very, very interesting....

Coolio! Nice find Svelte! Unfortunately, my Lego budget doesn't allow for Atlantis, but for those of you with an extensive collection, I can imagine you are truly thrilled!

And a Polish version with a sharkman? Wow! Now there's a convenient way to build up armies of all the sea creatures except the Orc-ish one in the portal set.

Unfortunately the price of the book has already risen from about $3.50 to $5.84 USD.

Still cheap, but a bit disappointing as I was thinking about buying it a month of so before the release. Hopefully the price will drop back to 50% off...

There's also an English version of the book with the shark minifig:

The price seems to be fluctuating randomly. One minute it's 50% off then the next it's 25% off. I suppose it rewards those people who have good timing.

[Prime Brick]

How big is the book, it looks prity small.

[metalandi]

Comparing to the size of the fig it seems like about A4 size to me (maybe a bit smaller)

Huh, I'm noticing something weird. If you click on the links for the first time on your "Internet session," the price shows as 51% off. If you click it another time, the price goes back to 25% off.

wait, what?

[ILikePi]

wait, what?

What I meant is that when you click the links on the previous page for the first time, the items are on sale for 51% off. If you click on the link again, the price then changes to only 25% off. If you close your Internet browser and reopen it, then click on the link again, it shows it as 51% off. Hopefully that makes sense.

[Prime Brick]

That is very strange, I wonder why they keep changing the prices .

[Bfahome]

I just realized that the first time I click the link it redirects me to an identical page at bookdepository.com, but the second time it doesn't redirect me and I stay on bookdepository.co.uk. That's probably why the prices are different; technically they're different listings.

Hey check out this new picture of Mr. Gillz!

[SpiderSpaceman]

I hope that's a comedically humungous grinch grin peeking out through the eyeholes

Say, have the eyes been changes? They look a bit different, or larger.

I don't think it's a large grin, but probably markings. If it is, then it's a bit ironic. The helmet makes it look angry with the jagged teeth at an angle.

I'm pretty sure they're gills why do you think I called him that? Anyway the eyes used to look like the manta mans eyes on a green head so they do look different.
