LEGO 6598 Metro PD Station is a Town Police set released in 1996, containing 552 pieces and 8 minifigures. The set features a police headquarters building with a separate prison on a small island, supported by a fleet that includes a prisoner transport car with a jail compartment, two motorcycles, a helicopter, and a police boat. Minifigures comprise six police officers, a female civilian, and a convict. It was also marketed as Police Headquarters and Prison.

A new, sealed Metro PD Station is worth around $849 today. It has grown about 6.6% a year since retirement, and our forecast has it 3% higher a year from now. The average used price is $118 for those in good overall condition. The 8 included minifigs account for approximately 10% of the set's total value.
Collector and Investor Standing
The minifigures make Metro PD Station a collector favorite, especially the ponytailed figure found in no other set. Jailbreak Joe and a sheriff in a life jacket give the station plenty of character, but it trades rarely, which makes its investor standing less impressive.

“It had all sorts of vehicles, a boat, a helicopter, two motorcycles, and a transport van. In addition, there was a prison cell, which was located on an island. And boy did it come with a sweet surprise! Hint: Always have an escape plan! The main building itself was also... More filled with nice details, including a surveillance camera. To tell you the truth, I wasn’t impressed by the looks of this set at first, maybe it was the colors, but now I’m liking it a lot.”

BrickEconomy Member Review
“This classic police station set from 1996 delivers exceptional design and playability with standout features like a separate island jail with a secret escape route, detailed interiors, and printed elements like a city map and fingerprint check desk. The set includes 8 minifigures, a shark, and a variety of vehicles—helicopter, motorcycles, a police boat, and a prisoner transport car.”
