It is difficult to single out one LEGO set from the rest because the manufactured quality, effort, imagination and creativity are recognized in every single set, with no difference. In my opinion you cannot make a mistake, whichever you choose. I started bying LEGO sets long time ago and still, after all these years, I see that they preserved all the trademarks of their products and plus added some improvements over time. A job well done!

It's probably better than most of the diver vehicles in the Atlantis line, and has a good combination of a vehicle and fish creature to justify the pricing. I think it's a bit overpriced considering the piece count, but thanks to the play value of the set, I feel it was a worthwhile buy.

The Undersea Explorer is a great set for anyone who is a fan of transforming robots. It has a nice design to it and a lot of playability potential. The set has two different modes, robot and rover, plus it comes with a sea serpent. With all the great pieces and fun that comes with the set, it surely ranks as a must have.
