![]() An engine, perhaps?Īs you can see, a minifigure sits comfortably on the speeder, and can therefore zoom in pursuit of Squidman. The plates with bars act mostly as greebles, though one might attach something more there. The minifigure grabs onto the handle, and then their legs rest on the bent part. A minifigure can fit on it in most configurations. The bend is achieved by a click-joint, so it can be positioned however you like. The flag is quite cleverly used here to approximate the front slope. The speeder is quite sleek, and has two blasters on the front. All of the stickers in the set go onto it, but I built my second one without any stickers and it looks fine without them as well. The speeder isn't really anything special, but it serves its purpose. It's amazing how well the head integrates with the body- it seems like it could be clumsy, but it's perfect instead. You can see the beautiful head here, with that wonderful top-printing and those bugeyes. He's the cutest minifigure I've ever seen. He has a bugeyed head with a neat green pattern on top. He's front- and back-printed and has a cool cape (although it covers his back-printing). He is the reason I bought this set- two of this set- and probably will buy more. His head is double-sided and he probably has a very good use of that scared expression: his helmet isn't airtight and he hasn't got any air tanks. Only a few extra pieces, but extra cheese are always welcome and a visor is handy to have around too.Ī typical Space Policeman, with leg- and back-printing. You're probably not going to buy this for the speeder, though: the minifigures, I suspect, will be of the most interest to AFOLs. There are some nice SNOT connections and an interesting use of a flag piece, but nothing really stunning. ![]() Of course, that's to be expected- it is an impulse set, after all. ![]() The build of the speeder is quite quick- it almost takes more time to build the minifigures. Interesting are Squidman's cape (in a new, flatter type of cape-box), the 100-bill, and some of the big slope parts. The Parts and Build, And Extra Pieces TooĪ nice variety of parts is present, some large, some small. Nothing so difficult as the Thunder Driller, though. Not very many parts, but 33 of 42 are unique, so that's pretty good.Ī relatively small DSS, but some of these are kind of tricky to put on- namely the long ones with the flame-like things on them. In the back of the instructions, we have a line-up of all of the criminals and the various SPIII sets. No piece call-outs, but the print is quite clear and easy-to-read. Pretty standard instructions, with the same image as the front of the box on them. So you dump out the box and get two polybags, a small dreadful sticker sheet, an instruction booklet, and a free LEGO club membership. Overall, the box stands out enough to be noticed- especially the gleeful Squidman. Also there is the punch-flap, which I never actually use, in favor of a knife. The two minifigures are once again placed prominently, and it makes it pretty obvious that you're getting a 100-bill, too. Once again, a pretty typical impulse box. ![]() Essentially a typical impulse box, but you're not buying for the box, are you? We have the typical dome-thing in the background, some nice shiny effects on the speeder's lights, and a prominent display of Squidman. Or else.Ī fairly small box, but it is the third-smallest set in the Space Police line, after all. If you don't have him, go get at least two. Price: USD 5.99, GBP 4.89, EUR set, for an impulse, has one major BUY ME! factor: Squidman. Squidman: the vile graffiti artist has escaped again! Can the Space Police catch him, or will their speeder fall out from under them? Does Squidman himself live up to his name? And is he really squidlike? That's your choice. ![]()
