Hard to Find Items: LEGO Atlantis Treasure(3851)
Dive into an Underwater Adventure!

Another good game
" The game went together quickly, under 20 minutes from unboxing to playing. The rules are fairly straight forward, but do have a few areas that require the players to make up their own. Which is not a bad thing. Once we (Grandkids, kids, and I) got the hang of it, the games lasted about 20 minutes or more.
I would say this game has the most stratagy of all the Lego games so far. There is the element of luck, so things don't always turn out the way you planned.
You get 1 micro figure and 4 micro subs. The micro subs are all different and are detailed for their size. "

Nice battle pack
" This pack is a great way to build up your forces, and your weapons. The speeder is great looking, and has good swoosh value. It's a little bigger then I thought it was going to be. The ARF Trooper is my favorite of the pack. He has lots of detail and looks good.

Nice starter set
" This set is perfect for the first time Lego builder. It comes with a wide variety of bricks, Basic bricks, plates, vehicle doors and windows, tires, slopes and a ton of miscellaneous bricks that you don't normally find in a set like this. Including two minifigs and a brick separator, which is a must for any Lego builder.
The instructions show you how to build the Plane, fuel truck and the luggage hauler. It does include a few pages of ideas, but anything else you'll have to create on your own.
At a per brick price of a little over 6 cents, this set is priced well below average. "

Nice to see it back
" This set originally came out in 2004, and is very close to the original. The set went together quickly for the number of bricks, under two hours. The ship is constructed out of basic bricks for the most part. You will need a large area to assemble this set. Not only for the ship itself which is huge, but for the sorted bricks as well. There are lots of the very rare "Maersk blue" bricks in this set. At one time only Maersk sets contained this color.
The ship has lots of detail, cargo containers, anchor, emergency lifeboat, bridge, just to name a few. With a per brick price of a little over 12 cents, it's a good buy. "

So Happy with this set
" This set is so much better than the old Minifigure set. It doesn't matter if you have no Lego city sets or all of them, this collection of minifigs have something for everyone. There is a minifig from nearly all walks of life.
There's a female bicyclist carrying fruit, and bread while passing by a bench. New color bike, 2 new french bread bricks, fruit.
Two firemen putting out a fire. Comes with axe, water gun and a fire to put out.
Person with trophy on pedestal. Comes with trophy, scuba mask, air tank, flippers, and life jacket.
Mechanic. Comes with wrench, sign and air bottle
Police officer and robber. The Officer comes with two pairs of handcuffs, and a radio. The robber comes with 2 one hundred dollar bills, the new open sack and the new crowbar.
Bakery staff. Has a baker with chef hat, rolling pin and table. The female has a pizza and a green Popsicle. There's also a fire place.
City worker. Comes with hard hat, beard, broom, shovel, garbage to shovel and a garbage can to put it in.
Construction worker. Includes, hard hat, jack hammer and 2 cones.
Two paramedics, with stretcher and briefcase.
Mailman. He has a bicycle, a letter to deliver and and mailbox.
Two little children. A girl and a boy, one with a backpack, both on a marry go round.
Male and female farmers. They have the new style dog, a cat, with shovel, some crops like corn and a carrot and of course a scarecrow.
A child skateboarder, has a skateboard, ramp, and a checkered flag. He also has a new smaller lime green hat.
Male and female airplane pilots. The come with briefcase and purse and have detailed name badges.
A woman sitting at a desk with a very rare laptop.
There is also a pair of snowmen (which aren't counted as minifigs), some skis, ski poles and hat and goggles.
The great part about this set is you can mix and match the pieces any way you want them. Need a female baker instead of a man, just swap heads.

What a great set
" Normally these creator sets are designed with the main model in mind, and the other models are just what you can also build. Not with this set. All three models you can build with this set have lots of detail and look great.
The Mini Plane looks good, and is a lot bigger then you'd think from a small set like this. The Ultra-light plane I think is the best of the three. The boat for it's size has lots of detail.
You may want to buy three so you can have all of them. "

Detailed
" Lego does a great job designing these Mini (Micro) sets, and the Mini Digger is no exception. Lots of detail, the engine, scope, and the way it pivots in the middle. This set looks good on display, but is also fully functional so it can be played with as well.
I built the other two models as well. The Off Roader is pretty cool, but the tow truck wasn't that great.
At per brick price of just under 11 cents, the sets a good deal. "

Lots of bricks
" Like the 5932 set this is a good purchase for a young Duplo builder, or someone that's new to Lego all together. This set has more of the larger bricks 2 x 4 etc than the other. This set does not have the doors and windows that the other set has.
Here's whats in the set :
Brick 1 x 1 = 57
Brick 1 x 2 = 117
Brick 1 x 3 = 20
Brick 1 x 4 = 32
Brick 1 x 6 = 10
Brick 1 x 8 = 6
Brick 2 x 2 = 158
Brick 2 x 3 = 30
Brick 2 x 4 = 58
Brick 2 x 6 = 6
Brick 2 x 8 = 4
Cone 1 x 1 = 12
Brick 1 x 1 Round = 8
Plate 1 x 1 Round = 22
Plate 1 x 2 = 16
Plate 1 x 3 = 2
Plate 1 x 4 = 4
Plate 2 x 2 = 8
Plate 2 x 4 = 17
Cheese wedge = 4
Slope Brick 33 3 x 1 = 2
Slope Brick 45 2 x 1 = 4
Slope Brick 45 2 x 2 = 14
Slope Brick 45 2 x 2 Double = 3
Slope Brick 45 2 x 1 Inverted = 12
Slope Brick 45 2 x 2 Inverted = 12
Slope Brick 75 2 x 1 x 3 Inverted = 2
Misc = 11
Brick 1 x 2 = 117
Brick 1 x 3 = 20
Brick 1 x 4 = 32
Brick 1 x 6 = 10
Brick 1 x 8 = 6
Brick 2 x 2 = 158
Brick 2 x 3 = 30
Brick 2 x 4 = 58
Brick 2 x 6 = 6
Brick 2 x 8 = 4
Cone 1 x 1 = 12
Brick 1 x 1 Round = 8
Plate 1 x 1 Round = 22
Plate 1 x 2 = 16
Plate 1 x 3 = 2
Plate 1 x 4 = 4
Plate 2 x 2 = 8
Plate 2 x 4 = 17
Cheese wedge = 4
Slope Brick 33 3 x 1 = 2
Slope Brick 45 2 x 1 = 4
Slope Brick 45 2 x 2 = 14
Slope Brick 45 2 x 2 Double = 3
Slope Brick 45 2 x 1 Inverted = 12
Slope Brick 45 2 x 2 Inverted = 12
Slope Brick 75 2 x 1 x 3 Inverted = 2
Misc = 11
My total count was 651. At a per brick price of under 5 cents this is a good set to add bricks to your collection.

Nice Set
" With only a 105 bricks the set goes together fast, under 20 minutes. The Mech formation of this set is a lot of fun. Stands and balances easy. Has lots of places for additional weapons, torpedoes, more spear guns, etc.
The set comes with lots of great parts. Spear guns, a harpoon, gems a gold shield (goes with the gold helmet from set 7978), the new 2x2 round bricks, diver with the new yellow mask. Along with one of the best new minifigs in this theme, the Hammerhead Guardian (see picture). The head is trans red with a mouth that covers his entire face, and two little eyes (You'll see this brick on a ton of Mocs this winter), the head piece is large and scary looking.
The price is great, well below average. "

Lots of fun
" This set was a lot of fun to assemble. It took around an hour to do so. This is a very simple set to build, even younger Lego fans shouldn't have any problems. It holds up well to play, and is a sturdy set.
Once together the ship was much bigger than I thought it was. It's huge for how few pieces it has. The rotating wing feature works great and really adds to the set. The landing gears are just okay. This ship has a high swoosh factor. It is impossible to hold this set in yours hands and not fly it around the room once or twice.
As with all the sets in this theme, the minifigs look great. Lots of detail, new head and hair pieces.
At over 15 cents a brick the price is up there a bit, but so worth it! "
