“Continuing the smaller arctic exploration sets’ dark blue, white and orange color scheme, 60379 Research Submarine packs in a sizeable sub, shark-infested shipwreck and even a tiny single-person mech. Yes, even LEGO City can’t escape the all-encompassing lure of LEGO mechs.... More But this one does look pretty nifty…”

“The Deep Sea Explorer Submarine is a good set. There isn’t much that I don’t like about it. For a City set, it is a decent value. You get a large, detailed build that looks great too. Additionally, the character count is amazing, and you acquire a large great white shark.... More Despite being a fun idea, the mech was poorly executed though. Additionally, the sunken treasure story is overdone at this point and its time for some fresh material.”

About City Arctic

Arctic is a City subtheme that involved arctic explorers. It was an extension of the original Arctic sets released under the Town theme in 2000. The City version of the Arctic theme had two releases, in 2014 then again in 2018. The background story behind the theme involved meteors that were falling to Earth in locations around the Arctic. The sets featured several snow vehicles and a research station.

Arctic currently consists of 23 sets that as of now has run from 2014 to 2023. As of today, 60062 Arctic Icebreaker is the most valuable Arctic set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $233.
