    Menacing, Evil, but Fragile

    Written by (TFOL , gold-rated reviewer) in United States,

    By far, my favorite Space Police set. The overall look is evil, but the yellow crate is a little gaudy. I'm also dissapointed that the Police Officer didn't get his own space craft (even something very small would be nice). Now onto the minifigs!

    Officer- The basic police officer, and he also should be the most well known as he was the "main character" in the animations on the Space Police site. He also has a rather large flick-fire weapon.

    Snake- He's creapy! the single big eye and the thin look gives him a slimey criminal appearance. He also has an odd helmet with spikes and some strange mouth guard.

    But the main reason one would buy this set is the ship itself. The color scheme is mostly black with some red and shades of grey. And then there's the giant yellow crate. The detail is nice. It uses some small pieces for engine detail and has well crafted front weapons. But most of the detail comes from the stickers. There are a lot of scratched up looking marks on the ship and crate. On the hood, you'll find a skull and some bullet sratches. The crate has the most stickers. There's tones of unreadable grafitti and some bullet/asteroid impact marks. Along with that are some Space Police symbols with the skull over it. They even included the word Blacktron on it, which I believe to be a past Lego Space theme. One of the strangest symbols/words on here is the name Adam with a crown over it. Don't ask me what that means.

    The main "function" for this set is the crate. It's able to open up to reveal the stolen cannon. Snake also apparently played a game and put tally marks over the word "police" on the cannon. Once again there is great detail on the cannon's structure.

    Any problems with this set? Actually, despite my perfect score I gave it, there are some problems. One: Snake can't drive this thing. He's leaning so far back he can't reach the stearing wheel. The top of the truck also falls of easily. Then there is that big hole in the back of the truck which is easily seen when the crate is open. Speaking of the crate, the top of it is very weak- just some long plates with no connection between them. There also is no way to to keep them held together, but this can be fixed with a simple 1x2 plate. The cannon also swivels around a lot, but I can ignore that. Underneath, there are more holes showing how hollow it is.

    Overall this is a great set. I say for $30 it's a great deal. I only wish it was a bit more sturdy and the Officer had his own vehicle. But I say, go ahead and pick it up if you find it.

    How cool can the space police sets get?!?

    Written by (KFOL , bronze-rated reviewer) in United States,

    This set is great. Simply awesome.

    Minifigures-Snake-10/10-Snake has so much details and cool things that I think it's ok to say he's the coolest alien. The awesomeness is not explainable. ITS JUST AWESOME TRUST ME!

    Space Police-10/10-best space police i've seen yet.

    Space Truck-10/10-Awesome details and stickers. The box has rips and scratches, graffiti and skulls. There are bullet holes on the windshield and there is a hidden laser in the box. Snake is a bit hard to et in the truck but not too hard. Front spikes are really good along with teh awesome lasers

    GET THIS SET

    IMA FIREN MA LAZOR!!

    Written by (KFOL , bronze-rated reviewer) in United States,

    This set is grat! Just read this:

    Minifigures: Okay, but Snake is available in many other sets. As for the Space Police guy, he has my favorite (scared) face, and it's kinda nice.

    Building: Very well. It is a tiny bit repetitive, but it's very fun.

    Pieces: Awesome. Some are easy, but I rated this four because the yellow pieces were awesome to me.

    Playability: Not very good. A humongous space wrecker truck against a little officer. Okay, but it's not the best.

    Price: Good. 282 pieces in a $30 dollar set, good deal.

    Overall: Get this set. It is awesome.

    AWESOMENESS
    This is the biggest ship for the Black Hole gang

    rarer elements
    swordknives-3
    things back wing buid onto
    huge flames with triple coloring
    space police minifig elements
    Snake

    Great set, nice swooshability for fragile-looking and bulky vehicle. Grandma and Grandpa got this for me and i love using it with 5969 Suidman Escape. Nice freeze ray rifle. Only cons are how minifigs can't operate the laser and how there isn't solid bottom under the container part.

    OMG, my sister just got this one for me, and I'm like stunned, this is definitely one of the greatest lego I've got this year (I haven't got too many anyway) this is a really cool looking set, very huge actually, the picture is very poor compared to what it really looks like.

    pros:

    the different technich and bionicle pieces.
    the pop-up laser.
    the stickers are so realistic.
    everything else lol.

    cons:

    the police guy doesn't have his own ship a small one at least.
    the container opens so easily, there's no wayto lock it.
