Description

A station with room for the whole squad

With 372 pieces the headquarters is one of the more substantial models of its day. It is not a small vehicle but a proper building in which scenes about law and order can unfold. The four minifigures can be shared out between the front desk, the office and duty outside. The set was released in 1979 and belongs to the Town theme, from which many later city models grew. It remains a classic that appeals to collectors and nostalgic builders alike.

White, black, yellow and light grey

The main colours are white, black, yellow and light grey, which creates a clear, friendly picture with strong contrasts. White shapes the walls, black adds accents on roofs and details, and yellow brings life to the facade. Among the 372 pieces there are 67 different ones, leaving enough room for windows, doors and special elements. This mix keeps the build varied and the parts list longer than for small sets, which makes sorting a pleasure in its own right.

Play it, display it, extend it

You can set the building up as the heart of a town and add patrol cars, fire engines and rescue vehicles from other sets. With four figures you can tell small stories, such as a call-out or a chase. If you prefer to display it, the station is an example of late-seventies architecture, with simple shapes and clean lines. An extension is easy to add as well, because the structure can be widened with a few extra bricks.

Parts list, spares and ideas

The complete list of all 372 parts is further down this page. It helps when checking a second-hand set for completeness and when buying specific replacements. The What Can I Build? tool shows which other models your own bricks could form. White and black bricks are among the most versatile parts of all, so it pays to check your stock carefully before you buy anything new. Windows and doors from the set also work well in houses of your own.
