Police Station review
on July 30, 2023
Posted by: Mariah
I wish this set was bigger! I love building Lego sets. Very colorful, creative, and satisfying. My only complaint was that because the instructions booklet was printed on black, it was sometimes difficult to make out the pieces in the top lefthand corner square that detailed the pieces needed for that particular page(s). Being an older . . . um, more experienced builder ;), my vision is not the best. Having a white background on that square would be more helpful.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks for your feedback about the instructions in your set! You'll be happy to know we're already working on replacing the dark background in our instructions based on feedback from our fans. Until then, you can find higher-contrast digital instructions at LEGO.build/BI-BV!

Love this set! I was wanting it for a long time, and finally got it right before it went out of stock. It’s a shame it’s retiring, it’s one of the better modulars in my opinion.

Unique Police Station
on September 22, 2021
Posted by: QueenNanaLegoBuilder
Hello…I just completed building this set and I had lots of fun doing it. This build has very unique detail that I have not seen before. I have been building these modular sets for quite a long time and have learned a lot about the designing skills that Lego has. I have tried my hand at building my own police station and I must admit this build is very decorative. So, my town has a “Police Headquarters” and a city Police Station.
The only thing that I find a problem is the use of black sheets that the instructions are printed on…this makes it difficult to see dark pieces, their shapes and colors. Lego should consider people with poor eyesight due to old age, still love to build.
For those that say they are missing pieces…I find when I think I am missing a piece, I most likely used that piece in the wrong place. I go back into the instructions and sure enough, I messed up.
I recommend purchasing this set because it sure is unique!
The last picture is the police station I built from a lot of left over pieces.

Great set - hard to read
on November 30, 2021

Very fun to build with each level being very different (as opposed to the garage where the top two levels are essentially identical). Only drawback is that printing on the black background makes it almost impossible to make out the shapes in the darker colors. Oddly enough the black pieces are easier because they put a white border around them, but brown and dark blue just blend right into the page so you have to guess what pieces you're trying to find. Maybe my eyes are just getting old, but if you're designing these builds for adults you should take that into consideration.

We're glad you enjoyed this beautiful build! There's no date to share yet but we'll be moving away from dark building instructions pages based on fan feedback. Until then, you can find higher-contrast digital instructions at LEGO.build/BI-BV to help out!

Love it!

So, yeah, it's just a toy. But, I got into Legos during lockdown, building Upside Down, Medieval Blacksmith, some similarly-scaled Harry Potter... and I have thoroughly enjoyed weirding them all up a bit. "POLICE" is not out front of this building. To me, it's a Co-op and Artists Building with Donut Shop! I've added a bunch of personal touches everywhere and continue to evolve the architecture, plant life, mini-figs, etc. These are the dollhouses I wanted as a child- but they didn't exist and I couldn't afford them! So, yeah, this is just a toy, but it's also not. It's an experience that evolves the more I play with it.

Great set, however...
on January 3, 2021
Posted by: Scoomp
I love this set's architecture and look, don't get me wrong. It's another fantastic addition to the modulars, and finally, a tall set for the first time in ages-many of the previous ones have been shorter than average, so a taller, towering build is welcomed. Hence why my rating for the set itself is 5 out of 5. As a set, it's everything I want out of a modular.
However, I have a huge issue with the box art itself, and the 18+ branding in general. While this is nitpicky at best, I feel like the complaint is worth bringing up. The black background makes the set look a lot less appealing compared to other modulars, such as the Bookshop or Assembly Square- these sets have lively and welcoming background and visuals that make you excited to build the set. While this Police Station has a great build experience, the box does nothing to entice the buyer. It's literally a nothing background. I am not sure if the idea was to denote "maturity" and look "distinguished," but it's a huge downgrade to the boxes of yesteryear. Keep the 18+ branding if really wanted, but give the background a blue sky, at the very least. It could go a long way in making the sets seem appealing, and keeping a consistent look amongst the Modular Buildings boxes, which many fans do enjoy collecting.

Hours of just a fun time

Was looking for a bigger set to just take my time and build over a couple days, but once I started this set I just couldn’t stop. There’s so many awesome details and colors used not to mention unique build techniques. I love placing minifgures throughout the scene as well.
