Lego Atlantis (stylized as LEGO Atlantis) is a discontinued product range of the construction toy Lego, themed around the underwater world of Atlantis.[2] The range was launched in early 2010 and discontinued by the end of 2011. The toy sets included models of buildable underwater vehicles, as well as "heroic diver" and "shark warrior" minifigures. A ride based on the range was operated at Legoland Windsor Resort.
Development and launch
Designer William Thorogood commented that from design focus groups, "it emerged that there were certain key icons the product simply had to include: propellers, dome cockpits, big lights, helmets, harpoons, torpedo-like weapons, tridents, giant squid, and evil sharks."[3]
The theme was revealed in the Lego Club Magazine in September 2009. The associated toy sets were released from December 2009.[4]
