Love the set; unable to say the same for those female hairpieces. They aged poorly in my opinion.

@MCLegoboy:
I had one as a kid, and I think one side of the clip broke. Back then, transparent parts were made of acrylic, which was prone to cracking. The way this attached puts quite a bit of stress on the two sides of the clip, which may explain why no modern motorcycle has anything similar.

@MeisterDad:
That hairstyle was one of two that would fit under the Ninja-era treasure dome. It came in green, which allowed me to make my first Red Hood minifig, years before an official version was released. I also used it for female minifigs on my Moonbase swimming pool module, with the same trick.

That now ubiquitous helmet piece was still relatively new when this set was released, having only been in production for one year.

Bring minfig packs back! Retvrn

I marked this as owned as it's the closest match I could find for the police motorbike to some of the minifigs that I have in the parts I assimilated into my old collection. There is no other set like it according to BrickLink, so I'm certain it's this set my brother used to have.

Huh, weird...this is one of the few times where I find/see the 'modern version' to be mostly better.
I mean yes, the "People Packs" could/can use some tweaking (more 'themes' for the most part); but for the most part/s (:)), add a 'theme' (a fun fair, the beach, a park...) is really handy...hope they (TLG) return to it, and do add those themes: Pirates, Space,...Western might not be popular enough though...maybe a City 'Street' scene could be added (construction workers, police, citizens, and so on; sort of an anti-'road plates' set:)).

I miss the side pigtails female hair part personally. I love these minifig sets, it was a nice way to get a few more figures for your town-scape without having to pay a small fortune for a larger town set. The set before this, 6302, got me a chef for my town and a few female minifigures as well (and that Pigtail hair piece in Red and Black... too bad they did not include the white version)

My brother and I had this and split it. I took the mechanic, airport guy, and doctor since I had the auto repair garage, planes, and the medical building. He took the police officer, firefighter, and woman with red shirt because he had the police station, fire station, and only took the remaining figure to make it an even split.

I love this set. Never had it but I looked at its tiny pictures on catalogs millions of times. I have always thought this is the more modern and colorful version of 6302.

All the people, so many people

The motorbike was in a lot of police sets, 24 occurrences from this set through a Dacta 9293 minifigure set I bought in 2001 at a teacher supply shop in California.

Do we don't really need it tho? We have Build-a-minifig service which gives you a lot of options to buy yourself fig packs. Which now works in official stores but also online. There is also the astou ding amount of lego magazines which very often include a minifig for pocket money.

Nice! Back when minifigures were not collection objects and just fun figures to populate sets with. I love how this one still is all classic smiley faces, and how it includes both emergency services like a fireman and police officer and civilians. One could see the mechanic as representing the garages and car repair service sets out at the time.

@NotProfessorWhymzi: I think @PurpleDave is referring to this piece:
https://brickset.com/parts/design-30151

I got this and 6103 Castle Minifigures around the same time for the same price as a kid. Guess which one Brickset says is now worth 65€.

I was lucky enough to have this, the older 6302 mentioned above, the later 6314 where different face prints were starting to appear, but not the 6301 from a couple of years earlier with some similar figures and a white bicycle. It's amazing the memories that the box art brings back, especially during the "yellow borders" mid 1980s years. I picked this one up on our summer holiday in France when I was 10, probably from one of the hypermarkets using some birthday Francs that hadn't been spent on Pez sweets and Orangina juice.

The motorbike windscreen was both very cool and indeed very prone to breaking. I can remember one of mine I had as a kid snapping off one of the “teeth” and I just would have to balance the windscreen on the headlight and then not touch it to get it to stay.

Looks right epic, though!

I love the city MF packs of the 80's/90's
The ones I didn't get as a kid I've made sure I've bought since.

We need more sets like this for say $9.99. The mix of characters and vehicles is really good, and the size is reasonable.

Education used to have several big sets of minifigs, and despite being pricey (I saved my money for about a year so that when I went to the Concord Mills LEGO store one summer, I could afford 9247--still over half the minifigs I own). 9247 was replaced with another big pack (but almost ten fewer minifigs for the same price), but it didn't last nearly as long.

I say a couple of different sizes of minifig packs need to be done each year and making sure they match the City sets that year. The torsos/uniforms of the Education packs were often dated even when new.

Seems they still have figure sets for Duplo, but that's about it.

Did find this pack though. Just under $3 for 4 minifigs and a wheelchair. Fairly good deal in my opinion. I wish LEGO would make small minifig packs at the standard polybag price available in stores.

My brother and I had this, really rounded out our Town figures. Awesome set!

What a lovely set <3

Totally agree - Looks like set you mentioned not available in UK

Holy smokes, that’s an amazing deal for 2022. Granted, I think it’s only possible because there are zero prints aside from the faces, but still. Thanks for pointing that out!

9247 by itself is over half your minifigure assortment?

Build a minifigure is limited by what LEGO throws into it. Build a minifigure in stores is still better. At least these themed sets also likely have accessories that the online service will not have (or will be brand new parts)

Those minifigs, those smiley faces and those acssesories brings such a great memories! : )
