      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.

        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!

          That game should warrant some interesting research. What split between generations/areas/other factors implied it being about skin color and which were running away from this

    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.
