Description

A submarine built for research, not combat

At the centre of the set sits a compact submarine, assembled from 286 pieces and showing typical features of a research vessel, such as portholes, propulsion elements and space for equipment. The 118 unique elements add detail that lifts the model above a simple toy boat, giving it a technical, functional character. Smaller pieces for marine creatures or seabed finds round out the set, ready to be arranged into scenes around the submarine. Together, they build more than a single vehicle – they create a small underwater world to play in.

Colours: yellow, red, dark grey and black

Yellow and red define the submarine's outer hull, providing the high visibility typical of real research and rescue vessels. Dark grey supplies technical parts and underwater detailing, while black adds contrast and functional elements such as propulsion and equipment. This colour combination keeps the model easy to spot even from a distance, setting it clearly apart from the civilian vehicles found in other City sets. The exact colour breakdown across all 118 elements is listed in detail in the parts list on this page.

Four minifigures for crew and scene

With four minifigures, the set covers both the submarine's crew and additional roles, such as divers or support staff on land. That allows several small stories to unfold at once, from exploring the seabed to preparing for a dive. Combining a vehicle with several figures makes the set more versatile than single-character models and suits children who enjoy switching between different roles during play. Paired with other City sets, the underwater world can be expanded as far as imagination allows.

Size and who it suits

At 286 pieces, the Ocean Exploration Submarine sits in the mid-range for LEGO City sets and can be finished in a manageable session. The mix of vehicle, figures and small accessories makes it a well-rounded starting point for anyone drawn to water or underwater themes. Owners of other City sets can use the submarine as a fitting thematic addition. The full parts list on this page shows exactly which shapes and colours are included before buying.
