LEGOAtlantis 8061 Gateway of the Squid

Great game

This was bought for my grandson and he loved it! Kept him quiet for hours and it looked very impressive when it was built.

Ok

Excellent - received as promised in good condition

My six year old boy was given this for easter by his grandmother. It's actually quite an easy lego build, apart from a couple of tricky bit on the gates and it can be a bit hard to get the elastic bands on the pullys with little fingers. He was quite excited when he built the squid, which is quite long when it has the tentacles on - the mouth parts rotate which is quite a nice feature. The rest fo the play set it pretty easy to do, its a couple of platforms that connect with each other with an opening door feature. The doors are opened by placing a lego atlantis key (there is one in every atlantis set) into the receptical and turning (to be honest they open fine but closing them has been a bit of a problem, but to be honest the fact that things happened excited my lad). At the back there is a treasure chest and with the twist of a lego piece it can be made to disappear. The squid can be mounted onto the back of the set and when it's all together it's a really good lego set.My son has been playing with this and his other lego atlantis sets ( LEGO Atlantis 8075 Neptune Carrier , LEGO Atlantis 8060 Typhoon Turbo Sub  and  LEGO Atlantis 8059 Seabed Scavenger ) and I fully expect him to be playing with them for some time to come.

My seven year old son saved long and hard to afford this Lego set. He was delighted with it and it has fulfilled his expectations. But what a lot of money for a few bricks! Yes it is lovely when made up, yes it was challenging for him to construct but now it is made the goal is achieved. I can't help wondering if a box of mixed bricks and a little imagination would not be even more fun and give greater satisfaction. I can imagine that he will be reluctant to deconstruct it and wonder if he will ever make it up again? I was disappointed in the quality of the Lego bricks; they are not what they used to be - not as robust.

My son is collecting this collection and this was a good little set. Mini figs plus the squid, hidden trap, treasure and gates that open with the key of Atlantis. I would recommend this.

Great for the lego lover. It didn't take long for my son to put together and he plays with it for quite a while. Looks good also.
