Lego set 10278 alternate build Police Station
Exploring New Horizons: Alternative Builds for the LEGO Police Station (10278-1)
When the iconic Modular Buildings line debuted the Police Station (10278-1) in 2021, fans reveled in its intricate architecture, bustling street-level storefront, and hidden back-office details. But for many builders, the true magic lies not just in following instructions, but in unleashing the full potential of every brick. The Police Station’s rich palette of blue-gray plates, classic red and white accents, and unique elements like barred windows and trans-neon signs opens the door to a world of urban reinvention. Imagine transforming the familiar façade into a cozy ice-cream parlor, a high-tech call center, or even a serene Japanese temple paired with a neighborhood kiosk.
With exactly 2,040 pieces at your disposal—ranging from 1×2 grill tiles to 1×4 window panels—this set provides the perfect toolkit for city-scape experimentation. Builders can repurpose the police “pinnacle” roof into a hip rooftop lounge, swap the jail cell interior for a radio-booth studio, or reimagine the ground-floor café as a bustling newsprint workshop. Whether you’re a fan of gritty noir scenes or afternoon strolls in a pastel-toned plaza, the Police Station’s modular nature invites you to push boundaries and explore new storytelling possibilities.
Below are some of the imaginative alternative builds that can be constructed using only the parts from the Police Station set .
