Tbf, I haven't had the set for ~40 years. I ended up scrapping the station in my city to use the pieces for an apartment building.
I pretty much just build with Lego online these days.

When I showed my wife she asked if it was AI. No, I even checked the official site because I thought it was a joke set or something. It's like a scene from Orange Is The New Black. I'm equally horrified and amazed by the detail.

I just happened to have these on my phone because when I saw it I had to show my wife. Look at what's become of my favorite childhood toy. 😭 Why is the prison mixed gender? I have so many questions.

I had the first Lego police station and it didn't even have a jail. Now you can get a maximum security island prison. It has little Lego shackles and a shark.

I know "land doesn't vote" but too many in the populous coastal districts of the Pacific Northwest have no idea what's happening in the large areas of Republican strongholds right next to them. Oregon's 2nd district is huge.

I only know what she is because I ended up doing a DNA test. People kept asking me what she was and all I knew was she was surrendered to the shelter with her Mom when she was born. (July 4, 2020) Her Mom was all black and had long hair like a collie or shepherd. I'm guessing the dad was cattle/pit.

She's a little pit bull, a little collie, a little shepherd, but mostly cattle dog. Bonus tortie cat.
