Description

A chase on the ground and in the air

At its core is a classic chase scene: a getaway car is cornered by a police helicopter and officers on the ground. The five minifigures include police officers and crooks, letting you replay the scene from either side. The helicopter has a rotating rotor blade and room for the pilot figure, while the getaway car is built compact enough for quick chase scenes. For fans of LEGO City police sets, this gives a complete small play scene rather than just a single vehicle. The getaway car's boot also has room for stolen goods, and its windscreen opens so the crook figure can sit realistically behind the wheel.

Classic police colours

Black, dark bluish grey, light bluish grey and white shape both the helicopter and the getaway car, giving the set the typical, functional look of LEGO City emergency vehicles. The dark grey tones emphasise the bodywork and chassis, while white adds markings and contrast panels. This colour combination combines well with other City sets, for instance to build up a larger police fleet or a bigger chase scene with several vehicles. Anyone who already owns a police fleet from other City sets can drop these colours straight into existing scenes without any visual mismatch.

179 different parts

Across 352 pieces, 179 different elements are used, a fairly high variety for the set's size, coming from the two distinct vehicles. This page lists every part with its colour, so you can look up individual bricks, for example to compare the set against other police or vehicle models. Beyond the vehicle parts, several small accessories are included too, such as equipment for the police figures, which reuse well in your own roleplay scenes.

Play value with two vehicles

With two separate vehicles and five minifigures, 60009 offers more play options than single-vehicle sets of a similar size. Children can replay the chase from either side, while collectors can combine it well with other City police models. The compact piece count also makes it suitable for a quick building session. That makes the set suitable both for spontaneous chases on the playroom floor and as a compact addition to a larger LEGO City police station.
