Police Prisoner Transport
60276-1 · City
Based on 6 reviews · thin
A police transport van, two cops, two crooks, and a motorcycle — the whole crime-and-chase loop in one box. Thirty bucks is a stretch for what's here, but the play setup is tighter than most City sets this size.
Is the price fair?DThirty dollars for 244 pieces and four figs is a tough sell — City has done more for less.
Will you love it?B-The chase-and-capture setup is genuinely satisfying; the van interior is a small but nice touch.
Holds its value?C-Retires quietly, sits flat on the secondary market — not one to sit on.

The Full Take
Police Prisoner Transport does exactly what it says on the box: you get a chunky transport van, a pursuit motorcycle, a pair of officers, and two prisoners ready to cause trouble. The vehicle itself is solid — boxy in a purposeful way, with rear prisoner doors that actually open onto a small cell interior. Four minifigs in one set keeps the story moving without needing to pull from other sets. Where it stumbles is the price: $29.99 for 244 pieces in 2021 was already pushing it, and that D on price isn't harsh. The build clocks in fast — maybe 45 minutes — so don't expect an afternoon project. As a self-contained City scene it works, which is why the love grade lands where it does: fun to put together, fun to play with, just not particularly special.
