LEGO City 60124 Volcano Exploration Base

LEGO City set 60124, “Volcano Exploration Base”, depicts a volcano exploration base with a field team and scientific equipment. Released in 2016, it belongs to the City theme and contains 824 pieces.

Set 60124 sits within the City theme and focuses on the exploration of a volcanic area. It is not tied to an external story licence, but to the contemporary service and fieldwork settings often used in City, where vehicles, personnel and a base create an operational scene.

The set includes 824 pieces and 6 minifigures. The lineup covers several roles: volcano explorers in olive green jumpsuits with white hard hats, an explorer in a flat silver hazmat suit, a scientist with an open white lab coat, and two team members in olive green shirts, one with a wide brim hat and one with a cap. The figure descriptions also identify visors, breathing apparatus, airtanks and varied headgear.

This is a suitable set for builders who want a complete City scene built around a specialised mission. It can be used for play, display or as part of a broader City collection focused on services, vehicles and field environments. Among City sets, it is defined by its volcanic subject and by the range of crew roles included.
