Description

Research at the edge of the world

The Arctic line sent expedition teams into icy regions, and the Polar Base is their fixed headquarters. White and light grey stand for snow and ice, blue for water and technology, black for details and equipment. This colour scheme sets the model clearly apart from the bright town sets of the period. At 442 pieces the build stays manageable but offers enough substance for a proper station with several rooms and outdoor areas.

Six figures on duty

Six minifigures form the station team. That is enough for different roles: who works outside, who stays in the warm, who looks after the radio and the vehicles? Little stories about changing weather, rescue missions or discoveries arise quickly. If you would rather display the figures, line them up in front of the base and put the set on the shelf as a winter scene, perhaps together with other Arctic sets to form a larger polar region.

What the parts list shows

With 155 different parts among 442 pieces, this is a fairly varied set with many special shapes. White and light grey bricks are often in demand in collections, for snowy landscapes, skyscrapers or space stations. The complete list with quantities is on this page. It helps you check a used copy for completeness, or order only the parts you are still missing instead of owning everything twice over. That keeps the overview intact even with many small special parts.

From ice to something else

Even once the station has been taken apart, the parts stay useful. White, light grey and blue fit into winter villages, laboratories or fantasy worlds. With “What can I build?” on this page you can find out which other sets you could assemble from your collection once the Polar Base is part of it. The station's material moves on into new projects, and you do not have to search long for matching colours.
