So this set was found in a box with a few others. It was in bits and required a few parts to be added for completion. The only issue I found with this tactic, was all of the pieces are sprawled out, so it’s harder to find the parts, but gets easier the further in you go. There were no instructions, but that’s where the Builder App came in. You can also grab the PDF copies of the instruction from Lego, too.
The first thing that is noticed with the build, is the retro feel that it gives you. It came out in 2010, when sets still harboured the old style of designs that blended with the new. Just to be clear, the stickers were already attached, thankfully, but it did come with a caveat…the trailer’s side ones were stuck on the top! Bringing the set together was quite the task, but I’m glad I did. It came together, beautifully, with a few of the original pieces being a little loose, but still serviceable. I also found a problem. Using the parts list from the digital set, I came across a piece that was not on there, or at least that I couldn’t find. If you find it on there, call it out, I’m always happy to be proved wrong!
Coming together, it is a fantastic looking display piece, but also a great play-set. I do feel that the old style of building was great at feeling playable, with an additional ‘robber’s’ car and chase motorcycle added to it. Inside, there are computers and digital screens. It has a jail section on the rear and a storage area in the trailer’s front. In there, you’ll find a bollard and a strange looking cone. I am amazed that they have a magnifying glass on the wall, but maybe Sherlock will turn up. This is a great find and an even fun completion. Anybody will love this, should you come across it, take it with both hands! The best price, UK-based, one, that I found was only £13.49!
