LEGO® Mini Neptune Carrier

Description

The big original in miniature

The name gives it away: this is a scaled-down version of a vehicle from the world of Atlantis. The theme is all about deep-sea divers, ruins and guardians of the ocean floor, and a carrier has plenty to do down there. The mini version shows the typical shape without taking up much room. With no figures in the box, it is a model to display and assemble rather than a play set with a crew. That is what makes it appealing for collectors who sort their Atlantis vehicles by size and want to keep the range complete.

Red and grey in turns

Red stands out against the many shades of grey that form the frame of the vehicle, while black supplies the details. Of the 63 pieces, 29 are different parts, which is a decent variety for a set this size. If you like collecting small specialist elements, you will find a few here that appear only once in larger sets. The parts list on this page shows every variant with its colour, so you can quickly spot what interests you. Sorting by colour also helps if you are only after the red parts for a model of your own.

Building and displaying

The build takes only a short while and needs hardly any experience. The finished model sits well on a shelf that already holds larger vehicles from the range, where it fills out the size ladder. It also works as a first set for younger builders who want to get used to instructions without sorting hundreds of pieces. If you like, add figures of your own and put together a small scene. Because the model stays small, it also makes a handy holiday companion or something to build on the move.

Reusing the parts

The parts in red, dark grey, light grey and black are versatile and suit vehicles, robots and machines of all kinds. The “What can I build?” tool on this page shows which further models you could assemble from these 63 pieces plus your own stock. A small carrier like this can quickly become the start of a larger collection. The grey plates and bricks in particular are needed constantly in your own builds, and the red parts add accents that make any model look livelier.
