Description

A multi-part base right on the crater

Volcano Exploration Base is a multi-section City set built around a research station at the edge of an active volcano, with a crane, lab area and living quarters worked into the design. Black, dark bluish grey and light bluish grey cover the structure and machinery, while bold lime picks out the explorers' gear, a colour scheme shared across LEGO City's 2016 volcano sub-theme. At 824 pieces this is one of the larger builds in that range, leaving plenty of room for tools, instruments and moving details.

Gear built for a working site

Alongside the main building, the set includes smaller vehicle and equipment pieces typical of the volcano explorers range, such as sampling tools and transport for the crew. The consistent lime colouring on helmets, suits and gear ties the set to smaller add-ons from the same line, so personnel and equipment read as one connected world rather than separate purchases. That consistency makes it easy to build out bigger play scenes over time as the collection grows.

Six minifigures make up the crew

Six minifigures come with the set, enough for a full research team with distinct jobs around the station, from sample collection to operating the crane. That is a generous figure count for a City set of this size, and it supports more involved play scenes with several people working the base at once rather than a single figure moving through an empty building. Collectors can add further figures from other sets in the volcano explorers range to grow the crew further.

250 parts with uses beyond the base

With 250 distinct parts, the set offers a solid mix of technical, rock and equipment pieces that hold up well beyond this one build. The parts list on this page breaks every shape and colour down individually, which helps when tracking down specific lime or bluish grey bricks. Anyone building their own research or disaster-response scenes in City style will find plenty of reusable building blocks here for further projects.
