Idk man I don't think we should keep marketing cops to children?
More dog variants are always appreciated tho
- Interesting point, didn't think about it.
  Makes you question how the "policemen vs thieves" game should be treated nowadays
  
  the “policemen vs thieves” game
  Honestly, when I was growing up, there was never anything more to it than just running around. It was a glorified hide-and-seek.
  
  Military vs. civilians looks more like the current way of things, sadly
  
  To be fair it ain't the most problematic children's game ahaha
  Anyone remember "Who is afraid of the black person"? It was a game often played by kids at least in my country and my god I never realised the racist implications until way later!
- Cops are helpfull in a lot of countries. Is just that USA is not one of them.
  
  Cops are bastards in every country actually.

Its pretty non representative of prisons where I'm from, and I do not want my kids thinking this is what prisons should be, so hard pass as a concept. Also visually looks a bit naff.

It looks fun enough for kids to play. For adult collectors not so much.

The front side looks awesome, the back side looks like an eyesore. Much like most LEGO sets today.
