I bought this "set" for my son who already has several Atlantis Lego sets. This is a great set. Here's why:
- Several unique (at least unqiue to us) pieces are in this set. This includes four different color crystals, and several unique pieces used on the sub.
- Instructions for seven different types of subs/drilling rigs, plus seven different corresponding Atlantean sea creatures. The book comes with five different sets of instructions, and you can download two others at [...]. This is a huge plus as my son really enjoys building one sub and sea creature, playing with them for a while, then taking it apart and buidling another one. The cycle repeats. It is almost like getting the 140+ pieces & 2 minifigures seven times over.
- A fun little story and fun facts that are a part of the book. We're teaching our son to read, so he has enjoyed having reading material that goes with his play time.
- The subs themselves are very creative. The first one we built has a detachable remote controlled mini-sub. What fun!

I have not seen this book available on the Lego website, which is a shame as this is a very fun set to have. The Amazon price is a good deal (I don't think the full retail price of $[...] is a good deal for what you get).

We used 3 of these sets at a Birthday party for my 9-yr old son who is currently enamored of the Atlantis theme of toys. They were a big hit.

Like other brick-sets, they allow the user to make multiple "toys" around, in this case, the Atlantis theme with the included parts and book/manual. The parts go well with the other Atlantis sets and encourage expansion and creativity. Mostly, wonderfully, they continue to encourage the imagination and cooperative play that makes Lego's a great toy/pastime for my son

This was a requested item on a family members Christmas list and I was planning on buying it here on Amazon until I stumbled across the same thing at Costco for $9.97 (half the price of Amazon's sale price). Costco doesn't tend to keep stuff like this in stock for long periods of time but if you happen to read this in the near future I would check them out first!

My 6 year old son loves this book! He has built and rebuilt the models many times. He also enjoys making his own "creations" with the peices. I'm sure we'll be purchasing the other books in the Brickmaster series. He loves them.

A very well laid out book.
It has plans to build some really cool vehicles.
It certainly assisted my 8 year old to use his imagination and customise the vehicles he builds using Lego.
At around 260 bricks it is very good value for money, equal in value to an equivalent box of Lego, but with many more plans to build and rebuild.

my son saw this in a high end toy store for twice the money. He's 10 years old and has spent hours creating different lego designs. Awesome!

This is a great gift for a kid who loves Lego sets - my 9 year old loved it. He has a couple Atlantis sets and this was a really neat addition. I like the fact that it encourages reusing the bricks for many different ideas rather than just building one unique set and saving it. If you are concerned about the comments of the reviewer who was troubled by the deep meaning of the story, I suggest you don't turn to a maker of kids building blocks for an advanced level of literary moral correctness or you will have missed the whole point of this product. My guess is that most kids will just enjoy it for what it is - a fun toy.

I bought this set for my nephew for his 9th birthday & he loves it! After opening it, he immediately started playing with it. Like the other reviews mentioned, it comes with a lot of neat pieces and endless possibilities. And the amazon price can't be beat!

This is a great book/set from Lego. It comes with easy-to-follow instructions for several models plus additional instructions are available on-line. You get lots of cool, new pieces and two Atlantis figures. Great set with lots of playability time.

This lego set comes with a bunch of legos and a book. The book has instructions on how to build multiple lego models using the legos that come with the book. You can take apart the model you've built and build a different model from the instruction book.
