Also comes loaded with features - large interior base where you can place figures, crane for moving crystals around, conveyor belt to process said crystals, a hidden stash where to place them and stockpile them, a secondary tower, refueling station and even a little marine friend - an octopus.
In terms of play features I really think they did a good mix and added a lot of variety. Combine that with the raised baseplates and you get something that I feel is much more than the sum of its parts.
Lastly, there are some downsides, besides from the sub, the set only comes with a crew of 4. Given the abundance of things to do and places to put figures in, I really feel they could have added one more guy.
That being said, this set was an incredibly fun building experience. My first ever lego set was the 1749 Paravane, so technically, Aquanauts were my first faction. Never had any other of their sets until now.
If you want underwater fun, accept no substitute.
