Description

A rescue base in dark tones

Res-Q was the rescue line in the Town world, showing emergency crews at work. The response centre follows that idea: black and light grey form the building, while yellow and white supply signals and markings. The result feels sober and functional rather than colourful, which suits a control room. At 438 pieces the model is compact enough for a shelf but detailed enough to give a real impression of a working operation.

151 different elements

Having 151 different elements among 438 pieces is an unusually high ratio. It means most parts appear only once or twice, which points to many special pieces used for technical details, antennas, windows and signs. That makes the set attractive to builders who enjoy unusual shapes, although tracking down missing single parts is more work than with plain tubs of standard bricks. Allow some time and work through the list line by line, checking each shape against your own stock.

Five figures on duty

Five minifigures give the set plenty of play value. You can form teams, coordinate call-outs and use the centre as a base for the vehicles of other Res-Q sets. For collectors of the line the number of figures is a useful check when buying second-hand, as helmets and accessories often go missing separately. The parts list on this page helps you work through an incomplete copy methodically and see which pieces you still need.

Parts for other projects

If you do not want to rebuild the centre as designed, its varied parts work well in other city or technical models. The dark tones suit buildings, vehicles and sci-fi builds alike. The “What can I build?” tool tells you which other sets can be assembled from this inventory. That is particularly worthwhile if you already own further Res-Q sets and want to combine their bricks with the contents of this one. Together they can grow into a larger scene with a story of its own.
