Review: 60006 Police ATV

[Chieffy765]

Hello Eurobricks, this is my first review so please bear with me. Suggestions on how to improve my future reviews are gladly welcomed!

Name: Police ATV

Number: 60006

Theme: City (Police)

Year: late 2012/early 2013

Pieces: 51

Minifigs: 2

Price: US $6.99 ($7.99 at TRU)

Set Overview:

The Box:

Front:

Back: Sorry about no back view. I basically destroyed it trying to get it to work to hold the parts in the car.

Minifigs:

The newly redesigned cop:

The wheelbarrow:

Accessories:

Spare Parts:

Ratings:

Design: 8 out of 10. I feel that an ATV is a bit overkill for a robber with just a wheelbarrow.

Build: 6 out of 10. It is quite short, but what do you expect for an $7 set?

Playability: 9 out of 10. You can have the cop arrest the robber or drive around the ATV trying to find the robber in your town. Though for an adult there isn't that much to it.

Figures: 10 out of 10. The cop is nicely detailed and the new print for the robber isn't bad either. I do think that LEGO should make at least one wave where the robbers or criminals are dressed in civilian clothes. Not every criminal just escaped from prison.

Parts: 5 out of 10. The wheelbarrow and crowbar are nice but other than those there isn't much interesting in the set. There are 5 1x1 round tiles in the set if you include spares.

Value: 5 out of 10. The set isn't too overpriced if you think about the semi-new wheelbarrow and all new prints. Plus no stickers!

Overall: 43 out of 60, or 7.2 out of 10

Conclusion: This is a great set to get a good amount of generic figs for a decent price.

Hi, 'Chieffy765'.....try deeplinking the URL's.....remember 800x600 is the largest image size you can use on EB.

I look forward to seeing the review in full......Brick On Review On 'Chhieffy765' !

I'm trying to embed the images from flickr but it says "you cannot use this image extension on this community".

I'm doing exactly what it says on the tutorial but it won't work?

Can anyone help?

[lightningtiger]

In the task bar above where you write there is a small rectangular box with an greenish image in it, click that and up will appear a window to enter the URL of the image.

Simply to start right click your image in Flickr, select copy URL and then paste it in the EB image box you have opened.

Try that and good luck.

[Chieffy765]

Thanks for the help! Trying it now.

Cool review of a cool set 'Chieffy765', only suggestion might be a plain back and fore grounds.

I too was amused at an ATV chasing a guy with a wheel barrow.....but hey he might be related to an Olympic champion runner !

It's the minifigs which totally rock, the new robber and AWESOME new police officer with a printed cap no less !

Brick On Review On 'Chieffy765'........have a merry Christmas too.

Very realistic!

The ATV is amazing!

Thank you for reviewing!

I am scratching my head why the police office would wear a cap?

I would expect a proper police cap or helmet.

Anyway, it is a great impulse set!

The cap isn't printed, it was probably just a reflection from the lights I had to use.

I think that on the next review I will use a gray/green baseplate with the white box to make it seem plain.

Can a mod please add a poll to the review? It won't let me do it yet. I don't think I have enough posts yet to make polls.

The Review Index sent me here when I searched for a topic for this set, so I'd like to add my own opinion on it to the pool :)

I turned my thoughts into a video review that can be seen here:

 

Also, if you want, why not listen to the Polish version?
