This is the new for 2024 LEGO City Robot World Roller Coaster Park and arcade set. This comes in with 986parts and a weight of 1.6kg. It represents great value and a raft of play features and details. You also get 8 minifigures (I mistakenly said 7 in the video). And my favourite part: An Exo-Force inspired mech!!!

In this LEGO City update, I’m going to focus on building the train tunnels just before the Train Station I showed in the last video. My goal was to give myself more space to add scenery, but also to make something a lot more interesting than just the usual straight train tunnel that’s easy to build. Hint: This was not an easy LEGO build and required some techniques I haven’t done before!
