While at LEGOLAND, I got some polybags. It didn't hurt me, so no harm done. The set is my favorite of the recent polybags. It also has some great parts.
Name: 30040 Atlantis Octopus
Parts: 42
Price: US $2.99
Theme: Atlantis
Year Released: 2009
Price per Part: US $.07
The Set
The set is very nice. The look is octopus-ish, although it could be more realistic-but hey, this is one great polybag. I love how well the head fits in. The beak is the only part that I think could be improved, but even it is pretty great.
Minifigures
There are none. It's a polybag.
Design
As I said, the design is great. Better than most polybag and seasonal sets.
Build
Actually had one or two unexpected components, which is great.
Parts
Oh man, great parts. You get 8 black robot arms, which are definitely not rare but always nice. Then there's the 8 black dinosaur tail/tentacle, which is a really nice piece-again not rare. I can't seem to get my hands on any of these 3x3 radar dis parts, and they are extremely useful. It comes with an Atlantis Shark Key, and those are great.
