Description

A truck built for polar research

The model pairs a rugged truck cab with an attached lab or research module, the kind of setup typical of snow and ice expeditions. Large tyres, a raised driver's cab and extra gear such as antennas and tools underline its purpose. LEGO® City's Arctic sets traditionally favour functional vehicles with plenty of opening points, and this one is no different, with doors, hatches and the lab module all built to open up for play. That keeps the truck engaging well after the build is done.

336 unique parts and equipment

With 336 unique parts among 1,064 pieces overall, the set is packed with equipment detail, from lab gear to tools for the research crew. The parts list on this page catalogues every specialised piece individually, which is useful for collectors hunting for specific equipment elements to use in other Arctic or expedition sets. The interior detail parts in particular keep the truck playable long after it first leaves the box.

Colours built for a polar mission

Black and light bluish grey form the vehicle's technical base structure, while bold orange boosts visibility in snow, matching real-world rescue and research vehicles. White echoes the wintry setting and shows up on panelling and equipment. This colour combination has been a fixture of LEGO® City's Arctic sets for years, giving the range a strong, consistent identity that collectors with earlier Arctic sets can easily match. A closer look also reveals smaller details that only stand out on a second pass.

Five minifigures for a full team

With five minifigures included, the set clearly centres on teamwork, letting builders act out different roles on a polar expedition, from driver to researcher. That makes the truck appealing to children who like playing with several figures at once, as well as to collectors expanding an Arctic fleet with a part-rich vehicle. The parts list is also useful for matching colours when extending a home-built polar station. That makes this section another useful starting point for ideas of your own.
