Yes, with something like a museum I wish Lego would, as they say, "go big or go home". I get that they can't make everything into a huge $200+ set, but there's so much untapped potential with this concept that I really think it would be easy to make an unforgettable set if they tried to actually make a vaguely convincing museum, rather than something the size of a museum lobby with a couple of "exhibits".
i hate how directly behind the gold nugget and above the gold shield thingy there is empty space, like they could have put a 4x4 map or another 4x4 painting . like ugh
This set is more about the cops vs. the robbers. It is called the museum BREAK-IN after all. The building they're breaking into is secondary to the "playability." My 7 year old son doesn't really care what's in the museum. He watched the CGI Lego video featuring this building on Lego.com and recreated the break in and chase. He could care less what's in the museum. We combine this set with Set #60009 Helicopter Arrest. The criminals escape to their hide out and there's usually a shoot out.
Although the inside of the museum is a bit simple, but I think it is a good set overall: play value is very high, helicopter with a light brick, cool police van, six minifigures, and a cute robber's escape van. I think they could have put the light brick underneath the helicopter instead of on the side, so it doesn't look bulky on the side.
I just ordered this set from Wal Mart. It is my first Lego set as an adult "Aside from a few small Star wars sets" I am getting it next week and looking forward to building it as well as displaying it.
Honestly, I am writing this in 2018 and this the newest museum city set, and I know there is capital city set, but that museum isn't even finished yet (under construction) so honestly I'd by this in 2018 purely for the museum. I mean honestly it is a pretty good price too.
Not really a comment on the review, and it's already more than 5 years old, but I really like the dark blue police chopper pilot minifig. They look like the old school swat uniform I saw in action films. I really liked the design I had to bricklink some to form my own lego city swat team... even though I have almost no "city" or criminals to fight to begin with! Haha.
Got this thing as a present. Had the same skepticality as you about the museum being legit. The museum itself is junk, being so small and empty, so I'm probably going to either take it apart or order more parts for it and extend it. The vehicles were pretty darn awesome and definitely not taking those apart :) Glad that this set wasn't a total rip off, compared to some of the others. Thanks for the review.
The museum, in my opinion, is good for the set. Like who expects to get a good-sized museum with like 30 exibits? It is kinda plain, but it doesn't give you too much extra things, lowering the count of parts used and overall. Personally, the little dirt things look kinda bad. I think the could have replaced the vines with a ladder or pipe like in other sets. Even though the museum, the way it is, is really good.
I would get this set just for the front of the museum so i could expand onto it, maybe have an exhibit on dinosaurs, but that does seem redundantly repetitive due to the fact that my science centre is all about dinosaurs, and Bill Nye.
First of all, I think the main goal of the set was just for the crooks to get the stuff inside the museum, not the museum it self, second of all, if they did want to focus on the museum, there's really not much they can put in such a small stall.
hey, great review, we pay $110NZD and I just got it on sale for $85NZD which makes me happy, I like paying closer to your price as I think we pay too much for lego down under here in kiwi land,andy
The reason the museum was so small is because the main focus is with the robbers and police. If it was just the museum alone, then it would probably be much bigger.
Ooof you bodied that set review! Straight roasted em! You didn't hold back for a second! You let em have it! Please, tell us how you really feel though XD! I admire your brutal honesty as a reviewer, someone needed to let em know to stop slacking!
+krono if the museum was bigger than the death star, it would cost more than the death star itself. So, think about what you say before you say it. P.S the death star is 400 bucks
I wish Lego could re-release this series but with a Police Station. These are the sets they could put if they re-release this series! Lego City Swat Police Station Lego City House Burglary Lego City Criminal Hideout Lego City Helicopter Chase Lego City Prisoner Transport Lego City Bank Heist Lego City Police Car Lego City Mobile Command Unit
I hope later they make a modular museum :)
I modified this one to make it modular. You can see it on my channel of your interested!
The van reminds me of the A team van
CheezyGrins The van reminds me of the a team too
Same
Because of the bank robbers, the van reminds me more of Payday 2.
I would love to see a Modular style Museum from Lego.

+Jacob Hoss still, the fact they used the girl with the pearl earing is great.
You could probably use the museum in this set as the entrance to a larger custom set, removing some of the inside accessories if you so chose.
Your LEGO Reviews are probably the BEST around

Shoot out? Where did he get guns? Did he use Star Wars weapons or brickarms?
Looks like the A-team van XD
The style and color of the van reminds me a lot of the A-Team's van from the 80s TV show.

Lego City Rocks
Off to the next one!
I just ordered this set from Wal Mart. It is my first Lego set as an adult "Aside from a few small Star wars sets" I am getting it next week and looking forward to building it as well as displaying it.
It sorta looks like the a-team van to me , anyone else think that?
I did
I was just going to post that yes it remanded me of it
b.a baracus wants to know what fools took his van
Nathan09786 yeah from Smash Bandits
yes it looks like that
Your dedication blows me away, Jang. Keep up the awesome work! As long as you can afford to :P
that escape vehicle look pretty sweet.
The criminals van reminds me of a ford transit van with a steeper front. Nice review jang!
Excellent set.Definetely the best City set of 2013 IMO.
This set is a beast of a set it is my favourite set of 2013 even I have done a build review.
This set is AWESOME as well as your review!
A-team van and back to the future building
They need to give these guys guns
Or at least tazers/ batons
You see... The only Lego sets that have stuff like that is lisencesed sets. Lego doesn't have violence in the sets except for like Star Wars sets
Ninjago, Chima, Hero factory, bionicle and Nexo knights are only a few examples of weapons in non licenced themes
sniffsniff16 Fire alarms and more!
sniffsniff16 Fire alarms and more! They did that in a set in 2016
Good review as always Jang!
I like both the vans in the set

Well inside the museum may be small, but it is only to make your lego city look, good. Btw nice set.
It`s a great idea for a Museum MOC Startup
I really like that it is small since i don't have a lot of room for lego at my house.
Yeah, and its a good crime set, with many ways to get into the building, along with utilities and veichles.
Getting this set today looks prettey good cant wait!!!
I use to LOVE this set!I gave all my Lego to my friend.
MinecraftNinjagoAndStuff u should've keeped it

Very nice set. (i'm getting it for my b-day today next week) :3
That other criminal with the hair tho... Hes on some massive swag business
Jang you is the best builder in the world
He didnt build this its a set kid
jang is the most best reivew than the everyone
That van looks a little like the A-Team's!
It is a great set for the city and police fanatic.
Jeez this museum is tiny.. Hardly seems worth the trouble 😎
Really nice set.
Super
I kept my hopes up of Jang saying the van saying it looks like an A-Team van

That style Cop torso is the coolest. I don't really like the new beat cops other then for giggles
finally got this set!!! it's amazing and has alot of play features. the light are assembled wrong
The painting is the famous Girl with the pearl earring from Vermeer.
i think its a cool set and i hope to get on amazon or Christmas
I would add to the museum with parts that i already have.
I'm getting this and the helicopter arrest and I notice that all of the minifigs are the same in both sets besides the police op. But that cool
The museum, in my opinion, is good for the set. Like who expects to get a good-sized museum with like 30 exibits? It is kinda plain, but it doesn't give you too much extra things, lowering the count of parts used and overall. Personally, the little dirt things look kinda bad. I think the could have replaced the vines with a ladder or pipe like in other sets. Even though the museum, the way it is, is really good.
jang i love your reviews could you review the 2008 police station
JANGBRiCKS the designers did not have enough money to make the museum bigger. It is only for the purpose it serves.
I love it!!!
I would get this set just for the front of the museum so i could expand onto it, maybe have an exhibit on dinosaurs, but that does seem redundantly repetitive due to the fact that my science centre is all about dinosaurs, and Bill Nye.
hey dude i fixed it, the grey bricks at the back i put them in the wrong place and if it wasn't for your review i would have never fixed it
Nice review
The van looks like the A-Team van
i wish they still made morw of those
you should review the high speed chase
You watch the a-team? You are awesome!
First of all, I think the main goal of the set was just for the crooks to get the stuff inside the museum, not the museum it self, second of all, if they did want to focus on the museum, there's really not much they can put in such a small stall.
do a museum moc for your city
All I want is the van for my swat team does anyone know were I could get one
look on bricklink
can u make a custom cruise ship
the criminals van looks like the a team van
If I had this set I would find the parts on bricklink to make it bigger and longer
make your own museum with it
hey, great review, we pay $110NZD and I just got it on sale for $85NZD which makes me happy, I like paying closer to your price as I think we pay too much for lego down under here in kiwi land,andy
I built a police van very similar to this sets one,
but mine has pretty much no stickers on it
Those elite police guys roll up with the squad.
The reason the museum was so small is because the main focus is with the robbers and police. If it was just the museum alone, then it would probably be much bigger.
im getting that now
It's sad that the rover torso with the keys are not sold anymore :/
love dis set
but I wish the lasers were a bit longer as it jus spoiled the look from the front
imo, they should increase the price of this and make the museum bigger
The van looks so much like the Ateam van
I'm gonna call the S.Q.U.A.T. team!!
by the way i like your vids bro i'll keep watching them later dude
Joshua-Marc Sohun i always mix up the instructions i get confussed sometimes that i just put things in the wrong place
People with this set is lucky
There technically has been a LEGO museum set if you count the old LEGO Studio sets
I like the museum
is the space shuttle set still on sale
but in 2014 it cost 47$ in target but where did you buy it?
Ooof you bodied that set review! Straight roasted em! You didn't hold back for a second! You let em have it! Please, tell us how you really feel though XD! I admire your brutal honesty as a reviewer, someone needed to let em know to stop slacking!
Are you that giy that did the power ranger sky sea and land brothers set
Lego city never has double sided faces! Other lego brands like Star Wars, power miners and super heroes and more
I know this is actually an older set but ... Lego is having a parallel to real life police militarization and that kinda makes me uncomfortable lol
LegionIX ya right
it does look like the a team van
do you like it?
This is the A-TEAM van it was stolen by the criminals
I really want that
Good video.
i like the set
a-team van
Gshs Gzgz What I was thinking haha
Please do a Pick a Brick Haul.
i think you can do reviw some LEGO Exo-force, i like to see your opinion to hes!
hi,if you haven't you should put the museum in you Lego city with out the robbers or police.
I think you should do your main builds first
+krono if the museum was bigger than the death star, it would cost more than the death star itself. So, think about what you say before you say it. P.S the death star is 400 bucks
I wish Lego could re-release this series but with a Police Station.
These are the sets they could put if they re-release this series!
Lego City Swat Police Station
Lego City House Burglary
Lego City Criminal Hideout
Lego City Helicopter Chase
Lego City Prisoner Transport
Lego City Bank Heist
Lego City Police Car
Lego City Mobile Command Unit
