LukeWarmTea Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Howdy all! I'm in the middle of designing a MOD/MOC for my daughter's Christmas present based off of City Police Station 7498, which I always felt was the 'best' City Police Station in modern times. But my OH pointed out that others would totally see the play-ability options in 60047 as making that set superior, even though I always felt the building was a bit naff. So, I began wondering - what, of the major sets, are the best of the best? Which one if YOUR favourite, and why? Major sets would be Fire Station, Police Station, Garage, Hospital etc; I've noticed everyone says "we haven't had a proper hospital since Town's ETC 6380" and I'm wondering if the same thing has happened with other big sets, or if it's a matter of taste?

dr_spock Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 It's a matter of taste. Since we do not know your daughter, I can't say which one she'll enjoy more or if it even matters. Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 How about this police station which in my opinion could be Lego-ised. Quote
LukeWarmTea Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 Thanks guys, I was just interested in people's opinions, n/m. :) (I've decided to still with 7498 and MOD it with an extra level, 2 more cells and a 'boss office'. There'll be a new wing to the left replacing the stairs with a training academy, gun range and dog squad.) Quote
Sven F Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 This may or may not be partly due to nostalgia, but I honestly think the best police station LEGO ever made was in 1983. Set 6384 Especially for that time it was very advanced, didn't look like an airport control tower like every police set does today, didn't use any ugly green or blue tint on windows, and it had a working garage door which is just loads of fun.

LukeWarmTea Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 How did the garage work Sven? I wasn't born in 83, lol - so I never got that set, but I understand where you are coming from. 6380 was possibly the best Lego set I ever had in terms of endless playability, from the offices to the wards to the staff room and ambulance bay - I love it when they cover everything! Plus now you mention it I can't stop seeing airport towers. Oh dear. Quote
ilikeboomerang1 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Let's see: Police Station: 7744 and 6398 (I can't decide) Fire Station: 6571 Garage: 6394 and 4207 Hospital: 6380 Airport: 10159 Gas Station: 6472/6397 Train Station: 4513, 60050 and 2150. Quote
dr_spock Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I concur for 6384. It's similiar to may favorite fire station 6382. Quote
RCPD93 Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 best large set for me is the fire station (7208) Quote
