Favourite summer 2015 set

" When the latest range of LEGO models was released this was the one that stood out for me. I immediately knew I had to buy it!

A great range of parts, very well sculpted, and cool details all impressed me.

The build is mostly easy and very satisfying. The instructions break down the various modules nicely. Younger builders may require a bit of help connecting the tubes at the end, but they are a great detail and well worth the effort.

The scenery is well done too. The new colour of bright green sea grass looks really good, the treasure chest is packed full of gold and gems and best of all the rib cage of some huge sea beast looks awesome (and includes the "curved connector with a fin" in white for the first time, which can be used to build all kind of cool monsters and skeletons).

What makes this set such a pleasure for me is the overall form of the submarine. The bubble dome, buoyancy pontoons, propulsion system, articulated arms and nicely shaped body, combined with the lots of details like lights and protective bars, make for a convincing and enjoyable model.

A delightful model, I'm a proud owner and will be buying more for presents soon. "

I would recommend this to a friend!
