Description

Both sides of a chase

World City often centred on police, rescue and criminals, and this set fits that pattern. The hideout acts as a base, while the hovercraft serves as the getaway vehicle. With two minifigures you can cast both sides, which gives you a small scene right out of the box. The model is not large, but it offers a clear reason to play without having to invent a story first. Splitting the set into building and vehicle also makes it easy to display them separately.

A sombre palette

Black, light grey, blue and dark grey define the set. These muted tones suit a lair that is not meant to attract attention, and the blue stands out as an accent. If you build city layouts, the hideout works as a counterpart to bright police stations or fire houses. The colour mix is practical too: black and grey parts are in demand for custom builds, such as roads, walls, machinery and technical details of all kinds.

Plenty of different parts

What stands out is the variety: 107 different part types make up the 274 pieces. That points to many special shapes and fewer repeated bricks. While building, it means more hunting for parts and trying out extensions, but the result looks less boxy. For anyone wanting to widen a collection with unusual elements, a set with this much variety in a small package is more interesting than one made of many identical plates.

Check it, then build on

The parts list on this page shows each element with colour and quantity. You can use it to check a second-hand set for completeness or to look for specific pieces. The What can I build? tool also tells you which other models you could make from the parts you already own. Hovercraft Hideout is a good addition to a town that already has police and traffic, since it gives that world a darker corner.
