Description

Deep-sea research

Aquazone sent divers and submarines into an invented deep sea where crystals served as an energy source. The Aquanauts are the explorer crew in that story. This submarine is a small exploration vehicle of 167 pieces with room for two minifigures. It stands well as a model of its own, but it can also be combined with other Aquazone sets to form a larger underwater base. The story of crystals and explorers gives the set a clear frame that you can spin further in play.

Yellow, black and neon orange

Yellow and black give the boat its bold base tone, joined by trans-neon orange parts and chrome silver elements. The combination looks unusually lively on the table and cannot be confused with classic city or pirate sets. The transparent and chrome parts are especially interesting to collectors, because they rarely show up in other sets and are easy to spot in the parts list. If you like neon colours, this is a rare combination that still stands out from any shelf today.

73 different parts

For 167 pieces, 73 different elements is a high figure. So there is plenty of specialist trim in the model, from panels to add-on parts, and very little mindless stacking of identical bricks. That makes building entertaining, but it also means a second-hand copy can quickly be missing something. The parts list on this page shows each line with colour and quantity, so you can compare exactly. Transparent parts are also often scratched, so it pays to look closely at their condition.

Building on from your stock

If you do not own the submarine, the “What can I build?” tool shows which models your own bricks allow. Yellow and black parts are also useful for your own vehicles, robots and research stations. Anyone planning an Aquanauts diorama finds a solid foundation here, which you can easily extend with blue plates as a sea floor and a few pieces of coral. Single parts from other Aquazone stock also fit, should you plan a second base or a mother ship.
