Elite Police Driller Chase
60273-1 · City
Early read · 3 reviews
A giant drilling machine chasing down crooks is exactly the kind of unhinged City concept kids go feral for — the driller itself is the star, and it delivers on shelf presence too. The C on price stings a little at $29.99 for what you get, but the B overall holds.
Is the price fair?C+$29.99 for 179 pieces in 2020 was a fair-ish ask, but it's not a deal — you're paying a premium for the drill gimmick.
Will you love it?BThe driller concept is goofy and fun, and kids who are into City police sets will find plenty to work with here.
Holds its value?C-City chase sets from this era don't tend to move much on the secondary market — don't bank on appreciation.

The Full Take
The Elite Police Driller Chase commits to its bit: a massive rotating drill on a police interceptor, hunting down a getaway car like the cops have completely lost the plot in the best way. That central vehicle is legitimately fun to look at — chunky, aggressive, and built with enough visual weight to justify the set's existence. Two minifigs is thin for a chase concept that implies more chaos, and $29.99 sits just above where this would be a no-brainer. The build itself won't challenge anyone past the beginner stage, but that's not really the point — City sets live and die on the play scenario, and 'giant drill pursuing criminals' is a strong one. It's a B for a reason: not groundbreaking, but the core idea is fun enough to carry it.
