LEGO set 60160, “Jungle Mobile Lab,” depicts a mobile expedition laboratory in the City theme, Jungle subtheme. Released in 2017, it contains 426 pieces and focuses on a field team built around scientific exploration.
Set 60160 belongs to the Jungle branch of LEGO City, a subtheme built around exploration, research and adventure scenes away from the urban setting. “Jungle Mobile Lab” places the City format in a more technical expedition context, with a mobile laboratory as the central subject.
The set includes 426 pieces and 4 minifigures. The characters are a scientist with a white jacket over a hoodie, sunglasses, dark blue legs and black hair, a mechanic with a dirty white shirt, suspenders, dark blue legs, dark tan cap and goatee beard, an explorer with a jacket with pouches, radio, rope, dark tan cap and yellow life vest, and a female explorer with a shirt with straps, radio and reddish brown hair.
It suits story based play, display of a specialized City vehicle and collection within the Jungle subtheme. Among LEGO City sets, it stands apart from ordinary urban subjects through its scientific and expedition support role, making it a useful companion to camps, bases or other exploration scenes.
