LEGO System: Sheriff’s Lock-Up (6755) was released in 1996 as a Wild West themed set, featuring 4 minifigs (three cowboys, one bandit) with a Sheriff’s office and a jail cell to imprison the bandit minifig included in the set.
This set featured a lot of detail, including a white horse for a cowboy minifig to ride, a total of 7 weapons to equip them minifigs with for added playability, and lots of small details like printed/stickered pieces for playing cards, dynamite, a “Wanted” poster, windows and a safe.
Now let’s look at the Sheriff’s office. The building itself looks amazing when built, featuring a porch on the outside with railings, nicely detailed windows looking into the cosy little office on the inside with a chair, desk, and safe. The Sheriff sign on top of the roof finishes off the building nicely.
Next there’s the Jail. This cramped cell, perfect for holding criminals, fits in well with the rest of the set with a barred door on the front to keep the bandit securely imprisoned inside and a small window fitted into the back of the cell. Also there’s a watchtower on top of the cell for a cowboy to keep look-out for bandits.
The minifigs included in the set are very nice on the front with jacket detail on the torso pieces. The bandit even has hairs on his chest and a neckchief. The back of the minifigs are quite plain, but that was normal for minifigs of this period.
Sheriff’s Lock-up is made up of 170 pieces, which doesn’t seem like a lot, but it is an enjoyable set to build and has maximum playability with plenty of nice detail.
