View larger. A Thrilling Underwater Adventure
The latest in the much-acclaimed Atlantis LEGO series, the Portal of Atlantis gives builders a dynamic, action-packed setting that encourages imaginative play. The set comes with three diver minifigures: Captain Ace Speedman, Professor Sam Rhodes, and Engineer Axel Storm. Together, these brave explorers will attempt to retrieve the treasure beyond the portal.

But getting there won't be easy: they'll have to face hidden traps, squid and shark warriors, and the emperor of the portal himself. The shark statues, positioned at the top of the castle, can come alive to defend the treasure from their intruders. The divers will also encounter a skeleton wearing an Aqua Raiders helmet (a reference to the previous LEGO water series.) It is up to you to determine whether the Deep Sea Crew will succeed where the Raiders failed.

There are plenty of additional features to keep the toy interesting. Our 11-year-old tester especially appreciated some of the more interactive parts of the set - like the moving portal and the giant shark mouth. The set also comes with all five Atlantis keys - green, blue, yellow, red, and orange - to complete your collection.

Unique, Detailed Design
LEGO enthusiasts will be pleased with the set's clever design elements. The standout feature is the portal: it has a unique folding design, with transparent blue pieces that give it an otherworldly look. Elsewhere, a huge shark's mouth covers up the main entrance, and can be opened up to reveal a staircase. The rest of the castle features gates, spires, and many unique LEGO pieces that cannot be found in other sets.

The included minifigures are also a highlight of the set. Each of the divers is equipped with a unique accessory, including a propeller pack
