The latest addition to my geekson's LEGO Collection is the Atlantis Neptune Carrier (#8075).

This kit is the biggest of the LEGO Atlantis Collection, with 475 pieces. This includes four minifigures, a stingray, a seabed rover, a mini-sub and the main carrier ship. The seabed rover rolls into the belly of the main carrier and the mini-sub attaches to the back.

The kit is labeled ages 8-14, but my six-year old was able to do 99% of the construction by himself while I sat back and took the pictures. The construction is fairly solid, meaning that it has withstood 30 minutes of playtime in the hands of a six-year old without falling apart.
