Description

A laboratory on wheels

The vehicle pairs an off-road chassis with large tyres and high ground clearance with a rear section built for research gear, from sample containers to camera equipment typical of LEGO City's Jungle theme. The cabin seats several minifigures, while the back stays reserved for cargo and equipment. The result is a vehicle equally suited to transport and hands-on fieldwork once it reaches its destination. Small touches such as tool mounts and storage compartments reinforce the sense that this vehicle is built for extended stints far from any infrastructure.

Build and details

At 426 pieces across 182 unique parts, the set builds up in stages covering the chassis, cabin and research rig separately. That high part variety keeps details such as tools, equipment pieces and attachments appearing regularly throughout the build, rather than settling into long repetitive stretches. The finished model reads as sturdy and genuinely prepared for rough terrain rather than a simple painted shell. The chassis itself is built from several distinct sections, so the axles and suspension stay easy to follow while building.

Colours and parts

Black and the two grey tones cover the chassis and mechanical sections, while bright light orange stands out across the bodywork and equipment as a warning colour, much like real research and expedition vehicles use. The full parts list on this page covers all 182 unique elements, useful for anyone after off-road tyres, equipment pieces or the bright orange body panels for other vehicle builds.

Minifigures and play

The 4 minifigures are researchers kitted out to match the vehicle's equipment, well suited to expedition scenes out in the field. Combined with other sets from the Jungle theme, the Jungle Mobile Lab slots easily into bigger stories built around research, wildlife spotting or the search for hidden ruins. For children who like inventing their own adventure stories, the vehicle offers a flexible starting point for endless new expeditions.
