BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The LEGO City Arctic Explorer Science Lab Truck impresses with a large, well-designed vehicle featuring functional suspension, detailed interiors, and smart part usage across its 1,064-piece build. Highlights include a retractable snowmobile platform, height-adjustable telescope, and striking brick-built livery. Minor drawbacks like a visible front sticker and lack of an engine are outweighed by its overall quality and play value at a reasonable price point.”
 

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.
