Description

A building with a haunted side

Like other Hidden Side sets, this prison is designed to be viewed two ways: as a normal building, and through the app's camera view, where digital ghost effects are layered over the physical model. Within the 400 pieces sits a fairly detailed structure with multiple levels, cells and fittings that give the building its prison feel. The 146 distinct part types cover plenty of small details, from bars to interior fixtures, all of which are broken down in the parts list on this page for anyone tracking down a specific piece.

Four minifigures for the story

The set comes with four minifigures, typically cast as investigators or guards within the Hidden Side storyline, which makes it as suited to imaginative play as to display. The colour scheme of light bluish grey, dark bluish grey, dark orange and olive green gives the building a weathered, slightly eerie look that stands apart from the brighter palettes used in most other LEGO themes. Anyone looking to track down or replace a specific minifigure part can check the exact colours in the parts list here.

Build size and display

At 400 pieces, this is a mid-sized set that typically takes one to two sittings to finish. The wide range of distinct part types keeps the build more varied than a vehicle or simple building set with a lot of repetition. Once finished, the model works well either as a display piece or as a play setting, especially alongside other Hidden Side sets that combine into a wider Newbury townscape. The parts list on this page is a useful reference for sourcing spares or planning colour-matched additions.

Part of a wider Newbury story

Newbury Abandoned Prison is one of several Hidden Side sets that together make up the fictional town of Newbury, the setting for the theme's ghost-hunting storyline. Anyone who already owns other Hidden Side buildings can slot the prison in easily, both in theme and colour, since the range shares a similarly weathered palette throughout. Even without the app, the model holds up purely as a building set, with much of its interior detail only becoming obvious on closer inspection. For collectors, it is worth noting that Hidden Side has since been discontinued, which makes individual sets like this one gradually harder to find.
