Description

A buggy built for ghost hunting

The set centres on a dune buggy that lets Jack, the theme's lead character, get around the ghostly world of Newbury, the fictional setting behind Hidden Side. Unlike more realistic City vehicles, many Hidden Side sets lean on unusual building elements and specialty pieces that fit the theme's horror and ghost-hunting angle. At 171 pieces, the buggy itself stays compact, but accessories and the included minifigures round it out into a fuller play scene that combines well with other Hidden Side sets already owned. An open frame and bold stickers add extra presence, so the buggy still reads as its own distinct vehicle despite the modest piece count.

Three minifigures for more storytelling

With 3 minifigures, the set offers more room for storytelling than many similarly sized sets with just one or two figures. The character selection ties into the theme's story about teenagers who take up ghost hunting, and combines with other Hidden Side sets to build out bigger scenes. For anyone familiar with the theme's companion app, the set also connects to the wider digital story, though it works perfectly well as a stand-alone physical set.

A cool, dark colour scheme

The colour scheme of black, light bluish grey, blue and dark bluish grey gives the set a cooler, slightly mysterious feel that fits the ghost-hunting theme. Compared with bright, sunny beach or summer sets, Jack's Beach Buggy is noticeably more restrained in colour, which underlines its link to the theme's ghostly world rather than depicting an ordinary beach scene. The 86 unique parts mix standard bricks with specialty pieces built for the vehicle and its accessories.
