Description

A chase for beginners

Town Jr. was the line for younger children who already play with minifigures but prefer simpler models. In this set a pursuit takes centre stage, with the police on one side and their opponents on the other. At 157 pieces it is larger than many small sets of the era and provides enough material for several vehicles. The build stays easy to follow, so it suits children who have only recently started building on their own. The vehicles can be sturdy and simple, so they survive energetic play.

Five figures, two sides

With 5 minifigures the set offers an unusually large cast for its size. That allows scenes where officers, suspects and perhaps bystanders all appear at once. Counting the figures makes it clear that this is meant as a play pack rather than a display model. Collectors may still find it interesting, because so many figures in such a small box is a late-nineties trait that was rarely repeated in later years. Unlike large city sets, every figure here has a clear job in the scene.

White, black and signal red

White, black, light grey and red make up the palette people associate with police vehicles. Red adds accents such as warning markings, while black and grey cover road and vehicle details. With 70 different part types the parts list is remarkably varied for a set of this size, which shows especially in the specialist vehicle elements you can browse one by one in the list below. That so many different parts come together makes the set attractive to parts hunters.

Looking up and building on

If you own the set, the parts list on this page helps you check it against what you have. The white and black bricks can be reused in your own police stations, cars or street scenes. The “What can I build?” tool shows which other sets your collection could produce. Police Chase then becomes the foundation of a town of your own, where the chase is just one of many stories. If you own several Town sets, the chase can run right through your whole city.
