Though the new 2010 LEGO Atlantis sets were briefly revealed at a LEGO fan event in Russia, we didn’t have high-resolution pictures until now.
Dano has the full set, but here are a few highlights.
The minifigs are especially intriguing, with new aqua helmets for humans and intriguing creatures who live in the deep.
OMG! This stuff is just too cool. The blurry leaks didn’t do it justice! Look at those airtank/suits! Look at those Octopus legs and Squiddy heads?!?! I’m sorry, Aqua-whatever just crawled out of its watery grave and kicked the butt of every other theme in the past few years.
TRIDENTS!
I’d have liked to see Atlantis in an ancient Greece/ancient technology instead of just sea monsters.
But I guess monsters are what sell to the age bracket. The minifigs are cool anyway.
By the bottom 2 figs it looks like a heavy [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu]Cthulhu[/url] influence, which I personally like, and think is quite risqué for Lego, which I also like.
And now we have Big Boss as a minifig! lol

Looks like a great line to me! Some neat builds, useful parts, great new figs, and nice new minifig accessories. I’ll definitely be picking a few of these up!
I love the lime green flippers, they look great on the minifigures.
The sets don’t seem to do a lot for me. They look very sparse. and uninteresting. Could be cool decals. Closer pictures of the guys in the dive suits gave me the exact opposite reaction. There’s some neat looking mini-figures but I’m not sure what good they’ll be outside of this theme.
I do have to admit I’m interested in those ring-things. A detail like that could look good in multiple different themes.
Aww crap, not more Underwater chaos, though the special elements are cool.
