“Don’t let that huge gulf between price and pieces put you off: 60368 Arctic Research Ship includes not only enormous boat hull pieces, but also a brand new LEGO orca. There’s a lot of plastic in the box as a result, and plenty of play potential for younger fans.”

“60368 Arctic Explorer Ship is a great return to form for LEGO City Arctic, and fans of the infrequent subtheme will be delighted with this gargantuan research vessel. The Explorer Ship itself is huge, and feels really significant and fun to play with because of its size. If... More you collect City Research Ships like me, this will make a great addition to your collection, or if you’re just getting started, this is a fantastic starting point as it’s got a really contemporary design, accentuated by the very attractive Medium Azure, Orange and Dark Blue color scheme.”

About City Arctic

Arctic is the LEGO City line for polar explorers, and it goes back to the Town Arctic sets of 2000. The City version has come in waves with a story each time. In 2014 the explorers set out across the ice from a base camp, with an icebreaker and a supply plane, and in 2018 they found a woolly mammoth frozen in the ice and moved it out with a crane and an air transport. From 2023 Arctic joined City's explorers, with a research ship, a submarine and a mobile lab for studying the sea and its animals, and the 2025 sets added an Arctic polar train. Polar bears and huskies turn up in most waves.

Arctic currently consists of 25 sets that as of now has run from 2014 to 2025. As of today, 60062 Arctic Icebreaker is the most valuable Arctic set with an estimated new/sealed value of $330.
Summary
City Arctic Arctic Research Ship set 60368 was released in June 2023, retailing for $160, but has since been retired. New, unopened Arctic Research Ship sets are valued at $227, while used sets can be found for $188.
