Posted July 12, 200816 yr Set Name: Police Headquarters Set #: 585 Year Released: 1975 Piece Count: 280 Minifigs: 4 List Price: unknown This was my first Classic Town Police Station, and a great set for it's time. Starting with the instructions: Alternate models: Check out these old motorcycles. They included a 1x1 black tile, 2 1x1 clear round bricks, and a faceless fig with sawed off legs. This little police car was my favorite. It was so simple, but at the time, looked great! I also liked the prison wagon: In the back were two shutter doors to lock up a single faceless culprit: I was never too fond of the simple helicopter design: And the simple faceless figs with an extra 1x2 white plate for a belt: Here's the station: What I really liked is that the set had no stickers, but rather all printed pieces. And the "L 10" roof design: Check out the Police and telephone bricks: I always loved this unique Police sign: The back isn't too exciting: The complete set, a real gem in the Very-Classic Town collection:
July 12, 200816 yr Great review! I too liked the old police car better than today's. There have many police stations over the years, and I still think that this one is good enough to compete with todays gigantic new police station.
July 12, 200816 yr Another nice review, TheBrickster! I'd never seen this set before, I haven't really looked at the "scary dummy minifig" sets in much interest, but this one has a goooood design, I like the car also. If this set was out now, I would buy it rather than a big Lego police station. :skull:
