Hi,everyone!This is my first review on Eurobricks and i sorry if there is any mistake in this review.The set i will reviewing is 60042 High Speed Police Chase that released in December 2013. As one of the 2014 City Police sets,this set featuring police officers in they normal blue police uniform busting crime in the city,same like the other 2014 City police sets.Different from 2011 City sets that also featuring police officers that wearing normal police uniform,2014 City Police sets feature blue police uniform and dark blue coloured police cap,which helps to set apart from the 2011 police sets.Same like High speed chase set from 2013 City theme,this set also featuring a scene that shows police officers that chase down crooks with the police forces vehicle,but smaller.many people asked that why I choose to buy this set instead of 60007 that featuring a exculsive minifigure,a unique game code,a police 4x4 vehicle that looks like a Hummer,a beautiful red sport car,and higher piece count?With the questions mentioned at up there,you may think this set is not needed,but are this set are seriously not needed,or this is a underrated small set? Let the review begins and enjoy reading this review! General Information Set name : High speed police chase Set number : 60042 Pieces : 110 Age recommended : 5-12 Theme : Lego City Police Year Released : 2014 (December 2013 in U.S) Price : $19.99 The Box At here,we have the front view of the box itself,with a police car chasing two crooks with their awesome dirt bike.At the left side of the box,the set number 60042 and the age range showed there.The design of the box is nothing new and special. At the back at the box,you can see some simple illustration about the features of the set itself.Nothing too special here,because most of the City sets has a simple illustration of the set like this . If you see the box patiently,you can see a 1:1 scale minifigure picture at the upper section of the box.here is a SWAT female Police minifigure as a comparision with the 1:1 scaled minifigure picture.Wow,it's exactly the same size! The instruction At the picture provided at down here,you can see the instruction booklet itself.At the front page,it's almost the same picture like the front view of the box.The instruction book itself has 48 pages. ( Including the front pages and back pages) A random page of the instruction book itself. At the rear pages of the instruction booklet,once again we meet the extremely annoying kid. The Set This small set is coming with two packet of the bricks and a sticker sheet.I applied all the stickers and i started build this small set. New/Interesting Parts Some interesting parts in this set. Bag one content The bag 1 contain the bricks to build the crooks,the ramp,and the motorbikes. Bag One Results Bag 2 At bag 2,we will build the police car and the police officer itself. Bag 2 Content Bag 2 results (Stickers applied) Completed Set The whole set in all glory. Minifigures This set comes with 3 minifigures,1 police officer,1 male crook,and 1 female crook.The police officer has a new designed torso printings.The crooks also has a new printing that shows they are wearing black jacket in a light grey and dark grey striped shirt.No alternate face printings in any of the minifigures. The back of the minifigures.All minifigures in this set have back-printing.No printing available at the minifigures leg. The Motorbikes This set also comes with 2 dirt bikes and 1 police car.Both motorbikes has golden rims,but their comes with different color.The black color one is my favorite. The crooks riding the dirt bikes. (Sorry of the blurry picture) The police car At here,you can see how the police car look from the front,side,and rear.Nothing too special here. When i first finished this set,i found a issue about this set is:Where is the backrest for the minifigure? But later I found out,Ah-ha !The police minifigure can put into the car with a sackbag at his back!This provides extra luggage spaces for the car,since the car lacks a luggage space. Because this car lacks a pair of door,you need to open the roof the put the police officer in the car.Why it's so difficult for the designers to include doors for the cars!? The ramp The ramp itself is simple but looks good.Nothing special here. Conclusion and rating Minifigures 6/10 : Nothing special in the minifigures in this set,but the printings are very detailed and we finally have a female crook. Parts 7/10 : Most of the pieces that have in this set are not dificuit to found,but we get 4 golden motorbike rims,1 green dustbin,2 recoloured dirt motorbike shell,1 recoloured motorbike frame and a neat-colored police hat. Playability 8/10 : This set is small.but it provides great playability for kida and this is a good set for your children's birthday. Build 6/10 : Nothing too challenging,but the final result is good. Price 5/10 : A little bit overpriced,will be better if lowered the price. Design 7/10 : The police car looks good and looks more like a real car,the ramp is good designed too. Overall : 76% - I'm am happy with this set because of the police car and if you want a low-costed lego Set for your children/friend,this set is suitabe for you and your wallet.Except for the price,I'm happy with this set and i want to keep it.

Thanks and I sorry about the pictures.I tried to crop it but this is the best size I can crop.

Hi everyone!I just get both 44018 and 44019 from the nearest Toy R us Store and i enjoying play both of this set.I read the instructions books of both 44018 and 44019 and when i saw the combination models provided at the last pages,I have mixed feeling about the combiner model.The idea is great but the execution is bad (Just look at Evo Xl Machine Combiner…why!?)So.i build this combiner machine using parts from Rocka Stealth Machine and Furno Jet Machine.What you think about this combiner machine?Let me know about it.

Welcome to the Eurobricks and hope that you have fun here!

The worst lego Star wars ever launched(In my opinion) is the UCS Darth Maul. This set looks good when look it from far,but when you see it from near,this set looks horrible and ugly.

I also want a redesigned Bounty Hunter Pursuit set,and I agree that Attack Of The Clones is a terrible movie.but many Star Wars fans love the Design of both Zam Wesell and Anakin Airspeeder.It's a shame for Lego for only launched one set with both Zam and Anakin Airspeeder in Episode 2.

I don't buy the 75092 naboo Starfighter yet,but this set have more bricks compared to the 2011 naboo starfighter set,and this make it own more playability,althrough the price may be a little higher.

I agree with the Technic R2-D2 too.

Lego Star Wars is one of the best Lego themes in present and this theme launched many great sets,too. But at the same time,It also produced some awful sets too,so no Lego theme are perfect! In your opinion,which is the worst Lego Star Wars ever produced?You can post everything about the Lego Star Wars set your hate,just post according to your opinion.

I hoping for a Lego Nubian Royal Starship that appeared in Episode 1,but I think it's quite impossible because of it's chrome-silvered color of the ship itself.

Thanks!

As one of the Lego most successful theme,Lego Star Wars theme has launched many set that blow our mind,like the 10188 Death Star.But honestly,I think there still many items about Star Wars that did not launched as a Lego set.So everyone,which Star Wars items you wish to launched as a Lego set? (You can write everything about Star Wars you wish to launched as a Lego set,including starship,weapon,buildings,vehicles,and more again) Enjoy posting!

Hi,I'm just join the Eurobricks for a few weeks and I glad that a topic like this appear.I have a question about the 2014 Snowspeeder set.My questions is,why the 75049 Snowspeeder is .so expensive?I once planned to buy this set but after see the price tag,I refused to buy it.Anyone know why 75049 Snowspeeder are so overpriced?

Great!Love the interior and the vehicle itself!

My username is ArmstrongYong but my name is yuan(I put the username randomly),and i love lego Star Wars theme,but madly i don't have enough budjet to buy any of the set.
