Episode 56 Jason reviews a 2010 Atlantis set called Shadow Snapper. LEGO 8079 comes with 246 pieces, 1 mini figure, mutant turtle and combat sub. Mini figure includes the Atlantis diver Lance Spears. Comes with the yellow treasure key with turtle on it. The combat sub comes with 2 flick missiles, moving/rotating propeller and is 5 inches long.
Our favorite part of this set is the black and lime green spiked turtle. His jaws are awesome! His claws are killer. The shell pieces are great, and will give you some great pieces to make your own MOCs. The head, legs and tail all pivot all over.
This is also a Toys R’ US exclusive set.
Retail price for this is around $29.99 USD which comes to about 12.2 ¢ per piece. Recommended ages are 7 – 14. Check out our guide to LEGO Atlantis.
