Awsome Sub (by the way, its a blunderbus, not a shotgun)
My first, and only Aquaraider set, I wish that they had good guys in subs, and bad guys in subs, like they did with the Aqua sharks, back in the day.
This set is very cool. It has everything I got it in Downtown Disney last year, I wanted to get some Indy sets, put last year they were selling really fast, so there weren't any, so I looked around, wanted to get the new police prison, but it was to big to fit in my bag for the flight home, so I settled on this one which is very nice just look at all the features:
-really cool sub
-harpoon guns
-tools(jackhammer, hammer, wrench)
-air tanks + hoses in the back
-floodlights
-spears
-little robot to get the treasure
lots of room inside, with racks, places to hold the equipment, chair, controls, cup of joe
-the top comes off, and the sides open up to get inside. little robot fits in back of the top (if you take the tope off it looks like it is partly submerged, and looks great in a harbour scene)
-motor in the back
-the front comes apart, for a mini sub, back half doesn't look too good when that is done, but a fun thing to do, is get another sub (maybe the tiger shark one, I just built an old aqua sharks one) and get it to fire a torpedo at it, and then take the mini sub off, and it looks like it exploded. very fun, and funny thing to do.
-and the best part: TORPEDO!! which is very well hidden, and lots of fun to shoot at unsuspecting people (hee hee)
Crab:
-legs are kind of unstable, and are hard to position
-big snapping claws
-looks scary from the front
Treasure:
-barrel with coins, and jewels
-seaweed, rocks
-old skeleton (the good kind)
-and very cool old blunderbus gun, by the way it is not a shotgun, it is a blunderbus
Minifigs:
-nice, three of them, one skeloton, two divers, look at the picture to see them, printed on both sides of there torsos
CONS:
legs are unstable, hard to position
-mini water scooter thing doen't fit in the front as advertised
-stickers, but some very nice printed on stuff on the crab
-thats all
Very good, fun set, if you see it get it. Kind of funny, second biggest set in the line, and it has the crab which is the second to the beggining on the Lego food chain, the first is the snakes.4 out of 5 people thought this review was helpful.
Torpedo Tube 1 Away!!
Great set! As my one and only Aqua Raiders set, it is definitely my favorite. The big sub is bristling with underwater weapons, including (drumroll) the torpedo!! The torpedo is pretty hidden away, but at the flick of a lever... Torpedo away! Anyway, there is also a diver inside the sub with a coffee cup beside the controls (lol) and his full suit in the storage compartment. The other diver has, well, something to pull him through the water. The mini sub is a miniature robot with moving arms (I use it to sneak past the crab to get the treasure :D). The skeleton is like the old skeletons, with the "articulating" arms that can flail in all directions, which makes it good for posing. The crab can be difficult to pose, but once you get the hang of it, it's really fun to play with. *Note: The little red brick underneath the green stalks on his head ARE NOT the eyes. The eyes are at the top of each stalk, even though you can't see them.*
The rocks the treasure barrel is planted in are very realistic looking, and it's easy to slump the skeleton up against them beside the treasure. Altogether, 5/5.
Pros:
-Sub has lots of weapons
-Crab looks cool and dangerous
-Torpedo!!
-Old skeleton
-Inside of sub is rather roomy compared to other Lego sets I can mention...
-Mini sub looks "sneaky"
-Periscope on top of conning tower
-Treasure barrel
-Rocks with seaweed
-Sub can split in two, and front part looks neat
Cons:
-Sub can disconnect to form two smaller ones, but the back one looks silly (the glass on the pilot's computer screen is all that's protecting him from going for an unplanned swim). The front one, though, looks neat, so I can call the front part a Pro.
Altogether, great set, and as long as you don't split the sub, you're on your way to hours of undersea fun!! Happy building!! :D3 out of 3 people thought this review was helpful.
my second favorite aqua raider monster: the crab Crusher!
this is a great fifty doller lego!it comes with: a diver with astro pilots head, a diver with the dwarve kings head, a pirate skeliton with gun, a small robot water rover, and the crab crusher.i think the robot sub is a neat idea, and the robot sub is the aqua raider aretoo!the crab creshers legs move in all directions, but are a little delicate... but you can build the mutant manta ray if you combine it with the giant lobster!the sumerine as a un realyistly roomy inside; if it were real, it would have to be much, much smaller.but the inside is cool, and has some gear to make the guy in sub 21 a diver! sub 21 has a firing misle,and the neat little water scooter this comes with cant fit into the front of the sub like it shows on the box! but thats fine, the treasher barral is nice, and the sub is loaded down with fine details in both stcker and brick. in conclusion, this set is for all us aqua raider fans out there, and for ocean,umm, lovers...?

5 star
I just got this and it's great. the crab is clever, but the legs won't hold him. The sea scooter thing is ok,but it won't fit inside the front with the harpoons. the treasure is 1 blue gem 1 yellow and 4 coins. the sub is great,the inside has gear,the controls,a seat, and a coffee cup, plus the engine. You know that bar thing behind the antennae and perisope? If you lift that up the robot commes out(the thing thats picking up coins in the picture). All in all a great set and must have for aqua fans.

Exellent Set
I think this is a really cool Lego set it has lots of storage inside with about 5 diffrent tools in it the sides come down to reveal the inside with the controls and a seat.My favorite bit in this set is the litle Robot Thing thats picking up the coins in the picture.
