Description

The gateway to the deep

The Atlantis theme sent a team of divers with submarines and underwater vehicles to find the lost city, where they ran into its guardians. The portal is where these two sides meet: the threshold between the explorers' world and the realm below the waves. As one of the biggest sets in the range, it works as a base for the smaller vehicles and a natural stage for underwater adventures, whether you own the rest of the theme or simply enjoy building sunken ruins.

Seven figures, plenty of stories

With seven minifigures, the set has enough characters for proper play. Divers and deep-sea dwellers can face off at the gate, and the numbers make it easy to stage bigger scenes. The exact line-up is listed on this page. If you are buying a used copy, that list deserves a careful check, since figures are often the first thing to disappear from well-loved play sets and can be tricky to track down again.

Stone tones with a golden gleam

Dark bluish grey, black, light bluish grey and pearl gold lead the catalogue's colour data. The greys and black give the model a weathered, stony mood, and pearl gold adds a glint of treasure. For builders who reuse their pieces, that grey stock is valuable for walls, cliffs, castles and ruins of every kind. Pearl gold is less common in large quantities and quickly gives any build an air of mystery or grandeur.

Taking stock

The 1,008 pieces span 209 unique parts. The full parts list shows each one by colour and quantity, which makes sorting, completing or checking a set straightforward. To find new uses for the inventory, What can I build? on this page compares it with other sets and shows which ones you could rebuild fully or partly. With so many grey elements, castle and ruin sets are often among the closest matches, which opens up plenty of options beyond the sea floor.
