Description

Divers versus shark

The Town Divers range from LEGO® was about underwater research and adventure. Shark Attack is a compact set that captures exactly that moment: two minifigures and an animal that will not simply swim away. The story practically tells itself while you build, since rescue, escape or research are all within easy reach. At 59 pieces the model stays small, but the two figures make it playable straight away and it needs no long preparation.

Yellow, grey, black and white

Yellow is the most common colour and suits the diving gear. Light grey, black and white complete the picture: grey for the animal, black for details and fins, white for teeth and highlights. The mix is high in contrast and uses 34 different part types, which is a lot for 59 pieces. Many specialist parts mean more detail, but also more choice if you later want to reuse the bricks for underwater models of your own.

Play, display, collect

As a play set the model works immediately, because the two figures and the shark give enough material for a small scene. For display it suits a larger diving world alongside other Divers sets with a boat or a base. Collectors of the range appreciate small sets like this one because they are easy to add to a collection and do not take up much space. The low piece count also makes it a good way into the underwater theme.

Reusing the parts

The parts list on this page shows every element with its colour. With “What can I build?” you can check whether your existing bricks allow other models as well, such as a boat or an underwater lab. Light grey and black parts are universally useful, so they are worth having even if you no longer want to keep the set built as a shark attack and would rather fold the bricks into a larger scene of your own.
