WesternOutlaw Posted July 12, 2008 Set Name: Police Headquarters Set #: 585 Year Released: 1975 Piece Count: 280 Minifigs: 4 List Price: unknown This was my first Classic Town Police Station, and a great set for it's time. Starting with the instructions: Alternate models: Check out these old motorcycles. They included a 1x1 black tile, 2 1x1 clear round bricks, and a faceless fig with sawed off legs. This little police car was my favorite. It was so simple, but at the time, looked great! I also liked the prison wagon: In the back were two shutter doors to lock up a single faceless culprit: I was never too fond of the simple helicopter design: And the simple faceless figs with an extra 1x2 white plate for a belt: Here's the station: What I really liked is that the set had no stickers, but rather all printed pieces. And the "L 10" roof design: Check out the Police and telephone bricks: I always loved this unique Police sign: The back isn't too exciting: The complete set, a real gem in the Very-Classic Town collection: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VBBN Posted July 12, 2008 Great review! I too liked the old police car better than today's. There have many police stations over the years, and I still think that this one is good enough to compete with todays gigantic new police station. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shoc Posted July 12, 2008 Another nice review, TheBrickster! I'd never seen this set before, I haven't really looked at the "scary dummy minifig" sets in much interest, but this one has a goooood design, I like the car also. If this set was out now, I would buy it rather than a big Lego police station. :skull: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
