LEGO® Portal of Atlantis 8078 $84.99

One of the hottest must-haves this Christmas season for kids who are Legos fanatics is the Lego Portal of Atlantis (8078). The Atlantis line expands more each year and, for the avid Atlantis fans, the Portal of Atlantis is a great addition to any Lego collection.

The Lego Atlantis line was announced in 2009, released in 2010. These products are based on the underwater world of Atlantis. Not only is it fun, but it also contains educational elements, especially with the website that kids can access for recording their Atlantis journeys.

There’s a great story behind this Atlantis range that caters perfectly to boy’s imaginations. Some deep sea salvage experts, known as the Atlantis Crew, discover a clue that could lead them to the actual Atlantis, lost thousands of years ago. The Atlantis Crew then sets out to find this long lost city for themselves.

Children can build this 1007-piece set, then they must get their divers through hidden traps to be able to unlock the keystone that opens the Portal.

The Portal of Atlantis includes 7 mini figures. There are 3 divers, a Portal Emperor, a Squid Warrior, a Shark Warrior and a Skeleton. A great addition to boys who have been collecting the entire sets of Atlantis. There are also 5 Atlantis treasure keys to help your boy on his quest.

Kids are having a blast with the Portal of Atlantis. It really does offer entertainment during both the construction and after. They are amazed with the moving parts, the booby traps and the secrets hidden inside the Portal. The instructions are very easy to follow, but an adult’s help may be required at some points during construction, especially for the younger children.

Parents are amazed at how intricate and detailed these Atlantis sets are. For ease of packing away, it separates into three parts and the jaw of the shark part opens and closes for storage.

While Portal of Atlantis is not the cheapest Lego set available, it’s one that will last across time. Whether your child is into Lego construction, or if they like their stories about the deep sea, the Lego Portal of Atlantis will keep them entertained for hours. The quality of Lego is undisputed which helps to ensure that you are getting value for the money you spend.
