Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set Police Headquarters since January 1979. Medium accuracy
LEGO 588 Police Headquarters was a 372 piece Town set with 4 minifigs released in 1979.
Police Headquarters is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 588-1 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 1,246 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $930.86 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.Because Police Headquarters is a very old set from 1979, finding it in a sealed and good condition might be difficult thus making the true value even that much higher.

“Police Headquarters is a fairly small set at 372 pieces but back then things were different. The set features 4 police officers dressed in black – a helicopter pilot, a motorcycle office and a patrol officer – and one in blue. There’s 3 different vehicles as you may have... More guessed from the picture – a motorcycle, a car and a helicopter.”

Gimme Lego
“The set includes four 'modern-style' minifigures with articulating arms and legs. Modern minifigures started to appear in sets in 1978 so would still have been something of a novelty in 1979 when Set 588 was released. The build commences with a trio of vehicles. First up is... More a classic 4-wide Police car which, like so many such vehicles of its day, is constructed on a vehicle base. LEGO fans of a certain vintage will also immediately recognize the wheel arches, steering wheel and windscreen which were ubiquitous in small vehicles back in the day.”
