Compare this to set 60130 from 2016. This one has 200+ more pieces and costs $14 *less* (adjusted for inflation as is basic & necessary for any semblance of a fair comparison).

First classic space/interstellar sets, and now alcatraz. Sounds like lego city is getting interesting again.

[grizzly._.]

The BURP next to the pipe can easily be removed for more access. Still doesn't make the washing machine area all that more useful but the designer did at least make it slightly better to get into.

Jang continues to be the best Lego reviewer on Youtube. A lot of nuanced thought went into this video.

[SantaWillNicholas]

My opinion is that we get a lot of police stations but not enough prisons.

[zacharylindrose]

I love all the play features of this set. It's really cool to see the creativity the designers put into this set in using all the extra space down below the main build.

[fabianstalder]

Lego ain't cheap these days, but I can see that they're getting smarter with their designs. A noticeable improvement over the last couple of years, for sure.

The cup reminds me of that meme in movies, where someone in prison rattles a cup or can against the bars to make that funny sound.

[henrikgiese]

Seems like getting two of those sets could allow for a really nice MOC. Decently large island and possibly enough pieces to enclose the rooms - 2 cells, entrance, 3 or 4 staff rooms (including tower)?

[kentslocum]

For a LEGO CITY set, I am impressed by the level of detail. The $100 overpriced apartment set from last year was practically empty. 😢

[ArCgon]

If I would go to prison and discover a hole in the cell, with a spider 2/3 the size of a human living in there... I would rather jump in the shark-infested waters, even if no boat would be waiting for me.

[Xiteri]

I like that you can make a full island out of 2 sets basicly, even with the default build being pretty much mirrored as shown as a starting point.
For a City set, this has quite a bit of "cave" space, due to the BURPs, in this case a benefit.

10:36 The best bit is is that they allow you to extend the track if you've got those rail pieces

[rhysellis]

I like the overall concept of the set, and its colour scheme. Including the front built up rocky areas, they seem more detailed than I'd expect, similar to the ideas lighthouse.

[matthewlong]

I know a few people don't really like BURPs and the like, but I have a lot of nostalgia for them and genuinely think they're good for both playsets and display sets if used correctly, like here.

[NeonSupernovaUPW]

Such a nice playset at a fair price. Way to go, LEGO! Awesome review, Jang!

[garycpriestley]

A pleasant surprise to see the increase in value and having two underground escapes/play areas is a great concept and will always be popular. I hope to find this on sale eventually. Thanks for the great review ❤

[gorzo]

I like what I see. But one thing that continues to bug me about LEGO jails/prisons is that they should give you the same number of beds as they do prisoner figures.

[Amy-yfzc]

this set feels like it'd be really fun to build on and modify. especcially with the island base

[mbphilipblack]

Love this set, but I'm gonna have to save this for later in the year. I like the amount of storytelling in this set and the play features are really good and well integrated. There's a lot to do for both the Police and Prisoners and I'm loving the orange jumpsuits a nice change from the stripes.

The set just gives me major Shawshank vibes and i didn't get the previous version they did ages ago so this is certainly on my radar.
