8078 Portal of Atlantis is a set that was released in late May of 2010 as part of the Atlantis theme.

Description[]

Early indications show that this set appears to be very similar to the Shark Castle as seen in some of the maps in the back of the other Atlantis instruction booklets. It will come with five Keys and Divers. It also comes with a Skeleton with a Aqua Raiders Helmet on. The shark head entrance opens and closes if you tilt the head up. It has included a jail in the back due to the handcuffs in one of the pictures and the cages mentioned in Dr. Artimus Rhodes's journal. At the top tower is the gate to the portal, and it has five slots, as seen in 8061, and the bottom one twists open the portal to reveal a golden treasure chest. The back consists of a bed, tables and supplies. Also, the two sharks seen in LEGO Atlantis: The Movie are included.

Weapons[]

Portal Building[]

• Trap Door?

Sharks[]

Notes[]

• The Portal of Atlantis is seen in the Atlantis Mini Movie during the climax.
• This set is the largest Atlantis set so far with 1007 pieces and the only Atlantis set that contains all of the keys.
• The skeleton diver uses the helmet print from AquaRaiders which implies that both themes are connected.
