Lego 4980 Tunnel Transport

Lego 4980 Tunnel Transport

Think of it as "Raiders of Noah's Ark." With this 349-piece kit, builders are transported into another part of the imaginative and seemingly limitless world of LEGO, this time a deep-sea domain of mining and exploration. Most of the pieces are used to make the high-tech, superequipped, jet-powered, submersible Tunnel Transport. But LEGO maniacs can populate their terrain by assembling the pilot/diver and equipping him with LEGO weaponry and tools for the ultimate Rock Raiders quarry: two brown LEGO boulders that open to reveal the valuable "green crystals." The hours spent putting together--and playing with--this clever set will serve as a marvelous introduction to the undersea world of "Block" Cousteau. --Tony Mason
