Is this the best TLC can do? There is no middle support, so it's dangerous to press down in the middle of the completed set.
You start by building a nitrogen tank and a cart with a coffee mug and dynamite. The way the chasis is built causes the car to slant, giving it an interesting look.Ĭast, take a bow! Well, looking at all the vehicles, at least we can have more high speed chases.īag three is the lower part of the pitstop. just like all of the summer exclusive sets. The spikes were a good idea, but not well-executed. (I made a funny! ) The front hinged piece makes it look quite ugly, and the Skull twin can't even hold the handles. The chassis is made of the s-shaped piece with a few things attached. I thought this car was interesting in the prelims, but once you're holding it. Since the aliens are supposed to be a 'biker gang' (I believe Kranx is the leader) it actually looks like a space bike! Well, to my needs-to-be-more-critical eyes. This is actually my favorite of the vehicles. The two engines, with small stickers applied.
That's a huge gun! The big engine exhaust pipes add more macho. The front of the ship is slightly bulky, but is nicely camoflaged when the engines are added. Nice use of pistols as part of the engine. Next you build snake's ship, with a boat hull-looking design. It's hard for him to sit down, and when he stands his cape sort of gets in the way. The finished ship, with nice flame decals. Squidman's is the most probably the most appealing it has a very simple frame. However, I really do like the simplicity of the engines.īag 2 contains the other three vehicles. :wacko: :wacko: I know these pilots need some leg room, but this is ridiculous! There is a giant gaping hole in the front of the ship. The cockpit is waaaaay oversized, and also. This ship looked really neat from the preliminary photos, but up close, it's debatable. Notice it has no guns except the launcher, maybe the slopes at the end of the wings are supposed to be guns?. Also notice the blue technic pins, it's an interesting way to attach the wings. The pilot has no controls, which makes it sort of hard for him to steer. Then we add some more on, including two side handles for a rocket launcher and handcuffs. The other thing you get in Bag One is the police ship. If they had replaced Snake with Frenzy in this set, it would have probably made it sell better.īut you do have to appreciate printed backs!Ī better view of Snake and the Skull Twin. which ticks me off because I'm not a big fan of the $20 set. A skull twin is also included, which is nice if you don't want Hyperspeed Pursuit, but annoying if you want both twins! And then there's also Snake, which is very annoying since he shows up in four sets now, like the blue rock monster! Everyone else shows up in two, except Frenzy. We get the frequently occurring reverse-head officer with a walkie-talkie, and Squidman of course (It's his pitstop after all!). To give you an idea, there are only 8 or 9 pieces that go above a count of six! Actually, the most frequently occurring piece in this set is the 2X2 red brick that forms the four pillars at the bottom of the set.įour figs in a $50 set is a pretty good deal, but they're not too special. Another note is that this is the most random selection of pieces in any set I have ever seen! If you are looking for any certain type or category of piece, do not buy this set. There is also a red rubber hose separate. The 4 marked bags, each of which has a smaller bag inside. Most of them look quite good when applied, a rare case.
Is this an accidentally inserted preliminary image? I have no idea if this has shown up before, because this is the first Space Police set I have bought above $10. what is that? It looks like a city mechanic with a glow-in-the-dark Snake helmet. I noticed something strange on the back of the first instruction book. I was surprised to see that the back of the box did not show all of the functions, like the safe with gold. Squidman and the Skull Twin appear to be captured, and the police officer doesn't seem to notice Snake slipping away. The box, depicting the hideout on an asteroid. Since my first review, uh, didn't go so well, I have double checked everything this time. I had to do this with an old camera since my normal one broke a few days ago, so the pictures will not be of the best quality. But, since this is such a controversial set, I think that buyers leaning either way need all the details they can get. I decided it was worth reviewing and as I was posting this, I found it had already been reviewed. But then this caught my eye, as I thought it wasn't coming out for a little while more. Year of Release: 2009 (TRU Special Edition/Exclusive)Īfter the second mass release on, I went to my local TRU looking for the Hoth set and Corporate Alliance tank droid, and they didn't have them.
