“The Artic theme is great or should I say "cool". I like the orange accent pieces in the set. The lab is very detailed and I love the way it folds up to be pulled(with a chain) to other locations. The snow cat is very cool with its tracks and winch on the front of the truck.... More Loads of special gear and storage boxes.”

“The set contained a Polar Bear and two Arctic minifigures, a mini outpost, a sled, and a moving truck. The outpost opens to reveal play area. The vehicles that feature in this set also feature as vehicles in the video game LEGO Racers 2, on the Arctic world. The outpost also... More appears in LEGO Racers 2, on the Arctic, with Doc next to it.”

About Town Arctic

LEGO Arctic was a 2000 Town subtheme that was centered around arctic exploration. The sets featured several snow vehicles and a research station. Arctic's background story involved meteors that were falling to Earth in locations around the Arctic and the explorers tracked down the impact sites to collect these meteors. Arctic was later reintroduced in 2014 through the City theme but instead of the word Arctic in the logo, there is a seal with the continent of Antarctica.

Arctic was introduced in 2000 and currently consists of 8 sets. As of today, 6575 Polar Base is the most valuable Arctic set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $287.
Summary
Town Arctic Mobile Outpost set 6520 was released in January 2000, retailing for $30, but has since been retired. New, unopened Mobile Outpost sets are valued at $173, while used sets can be found for $50.
