A very very nice set.
" It took an evening to put the set together. Lots of neat building methods used. A few tricky spots for younger builders. If this is your first set, you may need a little help. It's much bigger than it looks.
The way the seabed rover deploys is really cool. The set is sturdy and holds up to play. Depending on what your doing with it, there's not always a great way to hold it, but a minor issue. the per brick price is just under 13 cents so it could have been a little cheaper. But the set has so many great features, it's a must for any Atlantis Lego fan. "

Great part
" I purchased five of these from the Mall of America store as soon as I saw them. I've wanted a river crossing for my train layout forever. These worked great, added additional bricks making a nice shoreline..
Thanks Lego.... "

A nice addition to Atlantis theme
" The set is a quick build even with the 354 pieces. Everything went together without problems, and the instructions were straight forward. The squad warrior was way cooler than I thought he was going to be. I wish they would have hid the rubber band and wheels that make the gate open. A nice effect, but kind of spoiled the overall model. The giant squid was okay, not the best.
The per brick price is a little over 11 cents so a good buy. "

Wow, what a great set!
" It took a full evening to put the set together. Someone in the lower limits of the recommended age group will need some help. The set has a ton of great building methods and features. The Planetary drill that spins in two directions a once (also on the Thunder driller), The crane that holds the monster cage, the drilling rig that goes vertical. The set is quite large, much bigger than it looks. There is a ton of playability with all the features. It also contains the new rock throwing monster.
The net shooter doesn't work that good. It does have a per brick price of 14 cents, so it's a little steep. But, it has so many cool parts, and features, it's well worth it. "

LEGO Power Miners - Magma Mech
The Power Miners have dug even deeper into the Earth, and now the underground action is really heating up! Surrounded by pools of fiery lava, the powerful Magma Mech faces off against a rampaging Firax lava monster. Grab it with the extending titanium scissor claw arm, and put out its flames with a blast from the super-cooled, spinning water jet! Just don't run out of water, because it's a long way back up to the surface! Extend Magma Mech's scissor claw to grab Firax! Quench the red-hot Firax lava monster with the spinning water jet! Open the heat-shieded cockpit! Measures over 7" (17cm) tall

Just okay
" The set went together very quickly, 15 minutes tops. Nothing to difficult in constructing this set. It comes with the new Firex minifig, along with the new power minor minifig with the new style helmet that rocks. The blue dome is a must for other projects! It has a cool use of Technic chain treads (heat shield) in the front.
The extendable claw doesn't do much after you've extended it. The spinning water jet wasn't a great feature in my opinion. Like most Mechs of this type, it occasionally has trouble just standing up. The per brick price is nearly 11 cents, so it's a good buy and does have some nice parts. "

Fun to build and play
" Other than a few tricky parts, the set went together in about two hours. It might be a bit much for a first time builder at the lower end of the recommended age group (9yrs). I purchased and assembled this set for an owner of a local ski resort. It now sits proudly on his desk. He thinks it's great. It's a sturdy model with lots of moving parts, and is fairly realistic.
At 8.5 cents per brick this is a great price. "

Nice Dune Buggy
" This was a fun set to put together. It took about an hour and a half to assemble. I didn't like the quad-bike (4 wheeler) that much so I took it apart and made the Dune Buggy. Which I think is a much better model. There are lots of Technic methods of construction. A great introduction to new Lego fans to Technic building. The suspension is very cool, and the steering is a nice touch. Lots of playability!
The per brick price of almost 13 cents is bit steep, but still a good set. "

Great starter set
" The helicopter and jet boat were the best of the three models you can build with this set. There is not a lot of detail to these sets, but they are "Creator" sets so that's to be expected. All the models go together easy and only take about 15 minutes. I think children in the lower end of the recommended age group (6yrs) are going to need help.
The per brick price is under 9 cents which is cheap. This would be a great set for parts alone. "

Great set
" This is the newest version of the old 7252 Tri Fighter, and a big improvement. The set went together in less than a half an hour. Children at or below the recommended age group may need some help. The set does contain the new Rocket Droids, which is cool. The per brick price is just over 9 cents, making this a great buy.

Nice looking
" The set looks great when assembled, and it only took an hour or so. The pilot is cool looking and was a great addition to my pilot collection. I would stick to the recommended age group of 8+ not because of the building of the set, but the playability of it. The flick fire missiles are in a weird location. It loosens the wings with a lot of play and can fall off. There is no nice way to display it unless you build your own stand.
At over 16 cents a brick, the set is fairly high priced. "
