Description

Many figures, few pieces

The ratio is remarkable: 230 pieces for 7 minifigures is an unusually large cast for a set this size. The hospital is therefore less a giant building than a small scene in which doctors, nurses and patients all find their place. Play is clearly the point: the figures want to be moved, beds pushed around and rescue calls acted out. If you also own an ambulance from another set, you can start telling a whole story straight away.

Red, white and grey

The colour choice is unmistakable. Red and white have always stood for rescue and medicine, while light grey and black form the quiet base. The set gets by with 35 different parts, a manageable selection that is easy to take in. If you want to buy a second-hand copy, you can use the parts list on this page to check shape, colour and quantity of every element. That way you quickly see whether something is missing or a brick has been swapped for a similar one.

A piece of town history

Hospitals were among the first buildings to appear in the town worlds from LEGO®. The 1976 set shows how the theme was handled then with modest means: a clear facade, simple rooms and figures that speak for themselves. For collectors it is a pleasant addition to the police, fire and coast guard sets of the same period. Together these sets form a small town in which the most important services are represented and every figure has a job to do.

Reusing the parts

You do not have to own the set to work with this page. The “What can I build?” tool compares your bricks with the catalogue and shows which sets you could put together from them. White, red and black are colours found in plenty in nearly every box, and light grey is a good fit for paths, walls and bases. If a few parts are missing, the parts list helps you search for exactly those, so you need not buy a whole set.
