What can I build with it?

Description

Submarine plus research post

The model is built around a long submarine hull with a cockpit, fitted out with technical details such as headlights, thruster nozzles and a moving grab arm for handling samples. A smaller underwater station or reef-style module sits alongside it, giving the crew somewhere to dock and collect specimens. Splitting the build this way creates two separate play areas, the journey through open water and the actual research work on the seabed, which keeps free play varied rather than centred on a single vehicle. That split also gives the play session a clear rhythm of travel and pause, suiting longer sessions built around changing scenes rather than one continuous chase.

A full crew of seven

Seven minifigures crew the set, from a pilot at the submarine controls to divers working directly on the seabed in diving gear. That is enough figures to run several parts of a scene at once, someone piloting the sub while others collect samples or move equipment outside, which suits play styles built around multiple characters rather than a single hero figure. It also means the set holds up well alongside other City vehicles that might otherwise sit empty. Extra gear such as flippers, oxygen tanks and small hand tools rounds out the crew's equipment, giving individual figures a distinct role during play.

A deep-sea colour scheme

Light grey and black make up most of the submarine's structural shell, while white covers cabin sections and orange marks out hatches, tools and equipment, a combination that echoes real research submersibles. The full parts list on this page covers all 306 unique elements, useful for anyone after specific technical pieces or the grey-and-orange colour scheme for other maritime builds. The mix of muted greys and bright orange also means the submarine holds its own visually next to brighter City vehicles on a shelf.

Who it suits

This set suits children who enjoy vehicles with working features, as well as fans of ocean and research themes within the City range. Because it combines a submarine with a docking station, it also connects naturally with other City ocean-exploration sets to build a larger underwater scene. At 842 pieces, it is a moderate build, finished comfortably in one or two sessions. It also stands well on its own, since the submarine and its docking station already form a complete small scene without any extra sets.
