The Deep Sea Operations base costs $99.99 and comes with 907 pieces making it about 11 cents per piece which is a pretty fair price. It comes with 5 minifigures; a Deep Sea Diver, a Scuba Diver, a Pilot and 2 Deep Sea Explorers. The accessories area treasure chest with treasure, a crowbar and a fire extinguisher. There are 5 separate builds, some smaller than others, that all look good. First of all, there is an underwater cove covered in seaweed. The idea is that you put the treasure chest I see and use the crowbar to bust it open. I like the look of this and the way it works. The next build is a small flatbed submarine to transport the treasure and other things. It measures 9X8X3cm and includes spinning propellers, a handle and a spare oxygen tank. Another build is a research submarine with spinning propellers, two arms and spotlights that measures 10X9X7cm. The cockpit opens for space to put one of the Deep Sea Explorers. This is generally good but I think the arms and hands look a bit odd and awkward. A bit of a bigger build is a seaplane 32X33X11cm. It has a nice blue, yellow and grey colour scheme which looks really nice. The cockpit comes off so you can put your pilot in and there is a storage compartment in the back. The curved wings each have a propellor and lights. I like the overall look of this and it is a nice addition to the set. The final, biggest build is the actual base that measures 19X24X18cm. It has opening windows and some nice interior detail. At the back there is a loading bay with a moving crane to pick up the submarine. There is some nice detail with this and it looks really nice. Overall, I think this is a good set at a decent price. It has a lot of nice, different features and some good minifigures. I like all the builds except for the submarine which, to me, looks a bit weird. However, this is probably the best value deep sea set and pretty good.
