   Atlantis sounds good Ken. Of course we haven’t yet explored the idea of time travel, but then that might just ruin the whole theme. But Johnny Thunder underwater is a must see. Nautilus, can you imagine that set for the $50+ range? Now that would be interesting.

Depends how they built Nautilas, but, yes done right it could be a good set.

Of course, Atlantis does not neccessarily have to be found underwater.

The storyline could be something like - an earthquake/volcanic activity causes an island to rise from the seabed, and on that island were found some mysterious ruins, which could also lead to a second year of models where they DO use underwater gear to explore the surrounding seabed for more ruins.

Atlantis seems to be the most favorite (or at least, the most discussed) sub-theme for new sets. Just wondering if anyone would want to try putting together a “sectional” standard for an Atlantis project, similar to the Moonbase project (or the CCC standard), so that anyone can contribute. Maybe a smaller scale, like a 16 x 32 baseplate, could serve as one “room” or area, of the ruins/buildings of Atlantis.

Alternatively, would anyone be interested in presenting their version of an Atlantis-based model, similar to what you would want TLG to offer? Keep in mind that it would have to be along the lines of the same piece-count and pricing of a new Adventurers set. Any takers?

Nelson

Great idea about the Atlantis-based suggestions for models! We need settings and vehicles, both Atlantide and Adventurers. I like the idea about a first year with on-land activities and a second year of under-water exploration. For those who want the third year could go underground or even extra-terrestial.
