Sheriff's Lock-Up Photo Review

[WesternOutlaw]

Lego Wild West Sheriff's Lock-Up, Set 6755, 170 pcs, $24.99 U.S. - 1996

Later re-released in 2002 as Set 6764.

This set is constructed as two parts: the sheriff's office as the main building and separate jail section next to the office.

Sheriff's Office:

Straight View. The windows do have stickers:

Inside is a tilting chair, table, and safe. Gold or a pistol can be hidden in the table.

The separate jail section is rather detailed and has an exploding mechanism:

Back side of the jail:

Sticking a 1x2 dynamite flat tile (or other flat 1X?) will lift the spring piece and cause the side jail wall to fly off:

The set includes 4 figs and white horse (green shirted card player with black top-hat not pictured):

Even though the figs are cloned throughout the Wild West sets, I have to admit I like the detail of all the figs.

Here's some ideas for alternate models on the back of the box:

Overall, this is a great set and a very good starter set for the Wild West theme. The exploding jail wall is my favorite and the set includes lots of guns, gold, 1x2 flat tiles with dynamite, wanted sign, and card hand, and a varity of brown log pieces, some grey bricks, and black and grey flats, plus a large barrel. You can find this set on Ebay from time-to-time at a reasonable price (usually the re-release which was not changed from the original - other than box). POW!

The Brickster does it again! I remember seeing a re-released version of this set in stores a couple of years ago. It was really cheap too but I didn't buy it.

This is an amazing set! As always - a good review!

It brought back memories... as I have said 300 times... damn I wish they would bring this line back... or make a new version of it(a good version)

[Mister Phes]

They bought back 3 sets Mr Sting, how many do you need? ALL of them?

[Evil Willy]

ohhh gosh the memories..T'was me first LEGO set that got me where I am now...I always knew I loved LEGOS and had the urge to purchase a lot...But it is not until early this year that I really blew out and bought plenty :D Thank you the brickster for allowing me to enjoy this set once more.

Thank you for the review, TheBrickster!

I own this very nice little Sheriff's Lock-Up and I find it is a great set!

I wished it from my parents and got it for my birthday when there was a re-release of WW sets in 2002. But it's - apart from the instructions - exactly the same set. No brick was changed - that's what I call a re-release!

I really like these WW styled wooden houses with these nice windows!

I only hope that Lego will bring back the WW theme with some reworked re-releases and even some totally new sets with new carriages, new minifigs, new buildings (Saloon, Post Office, Train Station, Church, ... => please read http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...topic=9151&st=0 ) and a train!

Yes this is a great set, like all the sets from the WW theme i think! *y*

You could expand the town with the general store and saloon, the goldmine, the fort and remember that great wagon?? *wub*

Thanks for the review Brickster! *y*
