Well, it does come with a jail and is ment to be a police station, but the jail is only an attachment and can be removed easily. As seen with BB's old hospital, it is very versatile too. I'm gonna use it as an apartement, and am hunting for some of the extensions that were sold in DS.

Right, it was meant to be a versatile building, I believe. Hospital, police station, house, apartments.

Thanks everybody! I have a lot of pics, and will be posting them in blocks.
Here we go!

The front and back of the box...

Some box art. (I'm not gonna include all of it, because, well there was a lot of pictures on the side of the box.)

This one's my favourite. It looks like the butler is going to fall off the helipad!

Alright, that's it for block one. I'll post more pics later. :wave:

Time for block two! Here we go...

Most of the contents were organized into neat little drawers, but the rest of the items were just stuffed on top of everything else.
(http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q69/JodiHosking/PC130107.jpg)
The catalogue, Instruction booklet, DS booklet, and poster.
(http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q69/JodiHosking/PC130113.jpg)
The poster.
(http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q69/JodiHosking/PC130114.jpg)
Alright, after one hour of snapping pieces together, it was completed!
(http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q69/JodiHosking/PC130108.jpg)
(http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q69/JodiHosking/PC130109.jpg)
Some little scenes I made.

That's all the pictures for now. Hope you enjoyed it!

Awesome review! I hadn't really given much notice to this set before but after seeing it put together it's really neat!

As far as I remember, it was meant to be used as all sorts of Citylife buildings, being one of the first new SysX sets with a modern wall layout.

Yes.. And that woman is GORGEOUS (minus the jacket)...

Unfortunately, we need a lot of practice when it comes to system X. Never made anything of it. Though in truth, never spent much time trying. I do remember I always made mistakes just following the instructions though  :-[

Its a super cool building!! and the only one with a helipad  ;D Ireceived mine months ago but still have not set it up  :-[
Thank you for the great pics and the fine review!!!  :)

I too think it is a great sys.X set. I have many of them and the only complaint is the color of the windows. I have a hard time making very large buildings with so many window colors. I prefer the yellow out of them all.

A bit odd to have a common house with a helipad though.  :)

Might make for a great police station.

Actually, it is meant to be a police station! Here is the separate set for the actual office:http://www.amazon.com/Playmobil-3957-Police-Center-Station/dp/B003O9910Y (http://www.amazon.com/Playmobil-3957-Police-Center-Station/dp/B003O9910Y)
The helipad was for the police helicopter. <*)
