Police Boat

"Scoring an 86.5 BrickScore, the LEGO City Police Boat is a near-universal hit with young builders and families — the floating hull and shark figure alone make it stand out, and reviewers consistently call it one of the best entry-level City sets available right now."

Reviewers across the board are enthusiastic about the LEGO City Police Boat (60456), praising it as an accessible, fun build for young children and beginners. The boat's ability to actually float in water — bathtubs, pools, and water tables — is a recurring highlight that genuinely elevates playability. The included shark (with an opening/closing mouth) is a crowd-pleasing standout piece that kids gravitate toward. One reviewer noted the price feels slightly high relative to piece count, though the large pre-molded boat hull is acknowledged as a mitigating factor. Adult solo builders may find it too simple, but as a family or child-focused set it consistently delivers.

Where they split: A minor split exists on complexity: most reviewers love the approachable difficulty, but one adult reviewer explicitly noted it is "too simplistic for an adult," while another praised that same accessibility as perfect for young builders. On floatability, one enthusiastic reviewer pushed back against skeptics, noting the boat floats fine under normal conditions.
