Natman8000 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I checked my local Toys R Us in New Jersey last night at there were no Space Police yet. They did have two of the new Agents sets, though. I'm gonna have to check this other Toys R Us I go to that's closer to New York City. They tend to get new sets in before anywhere else. And then there's the Lego Store in Bridgewater. I also live in NJ. Which TRu did you go to? I've been to the Bridewater one, they don't have any of the new stuff yet and the PAB wall is really bad. Quote

Do you know what the PAB wall has? I've been meaning to go to that store for some time now, but I'm only interested in the PAB wall. Quote

I felt the same when i went there. They have lots of 1x1 trans round plates, flower stems, odd colors, but nothing too rare. They have monorail supports, blue roof tiles, tires, pretty typical stuff, and sadly, not a single tile. There are a lot of trans elements, and thats a plus. Quote
KDog Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I also live in NJ. Which TRu did you go to? I've been to the Bridewater one, they don't have any of the new stuff yet and the PAB wall is really bad. The TRU that had a couple of Agents sets (the helicopter and the one with the Gold Tooth motorcycle chase) was the one on Rt. 10 in East Hanover. The TRU that seems to get in sets a little early is the one on Rt. 46 in Totowa. I don't feel so bad that I forgot to use my free box of PAB before it expired, then. :-) I've seen that PAB wall and wasn't too impressed, but I've never seen another to compare it to. Quote

That sounds fairly generic, although any larger transparent parts would be interesting and I could use a few more monorail supports. Maybe I should check it out at some point in the summer.

user Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I went to my TRU today and got Freeze ray frenzy space truck and gold heist I added the sets to my Baddie hangar and will post pics tomarrow. Quote
CDC Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I just picked up those space police impulse sets here in Slovenia. It was said that they'll have other stuff next week Quote
hewkii9 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Algernon [Algie?], is there any chance that you could take some pics of Gold Heist for us? Quote
---Vertea--- Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 pleeeasse do sum pics of Gold Heist, Algernon? I would very much like an in-hand glimpse of four-arms... Quote
The Rancor Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) I know I'm in the Uk and nothing's been confirmed at all for us yet about Space Police, but... ... I'm going on holiday to Spain in the first week of July. Is Space Police likely to be available at TRUs there? I'm just asking because I'm not going to be buying any Space Police sets on any sites other than Lego Shop@Home. I remember that some countries weren't going to get Space Police III but was Spain included in that list? If not, I'll be going on a Spanish shopping spree I really want that Hyperspeed Pursuit! (but even the smaller sets would do) Edited May 25, 2009 by The Rancor Quote
Algernon Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Algernon [Algie?], is there any chance that you could take some pics of Gold Heist for us? Ah, see, I was out of town over the weekend so I didn't have the chance. But it appears someone has completed a far better review of the set than I could provide! Quote
Hinckley Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 So, everybody familiar with the teaser on the space police mini site?Here's the full video: Thanks for posting that! I really loved the Police Station. It would be awesome if they released a set like that. I would buy 2. I took a screen cap to share it with everyone and discovered there's monorail track in the shot as well... Quote
CP5670 Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Cool, I didn't notice the monorail earlier. And I was specifically looking for any kinds of classic parts in that scene. Quote
The Rancor Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) It's just been posetd on Brickset that from a reliable source SPIII is now in the UK. It says on Brickset.com's frontpage that a credible source told one of the mods that the Lego stores in the UK are now stocking Space Police III sets. (This does not mean that they will be avilable yet however). If you live near enough to a Lego Store in the UK, it is suggested that you phone ahead to avoid disappointment when there. (Unfortunately, I don't live ANYWHERE near a Lego brand store to merit a trip to one ) Edited May 26, 2009 by The Rancor Quote
Still Raindrop Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 I'm not sure how much we know about Squidman's Pitstop, but a LEGO designer said that it's a chop shop kind of scenario but it turns into a weapons shop. Too bad we don't have any bigger pictures, but still, the info is cool. Maybe we'll get some spare spaceship parts. In any case, looks like P. Squiddy is in deeper than the Space Police think (they have him down for theft, burglary, and vandalism, but not for weapons dealing!) Quote

Oky Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) 5969-5972 are now officially available on S@H: I wonder why they're holding off on the larger sets. In other news: Squidman has vandalized my sig! Darn space criminals! Edited May 27, 2009 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote
Algernon Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 5969-5972 are now officially available on S@H: I wonder why they're holding off on the larger sets. Yeah, what the heck? Everybody has agreed that the two biggest sets are by far the most promising. Quote
Cardinal Brick Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Space Police III is in the UK and for sale at the Lego store Bluewater I just got back they have the full range though I didn't have the cash with me to buy any of the large sets Quote

iangreig Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 The Milton Keynes store had all 8 of the initial sets yesterday, including the two you mention. I assume the other two UK stores have the same. You can see the figs from the sets here, on my flickr-stream - http://www.flickr.com/photos/blue-moose/3567238801/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/blue-moose/3567922340/ Ian Do they have Hyperspeed Pursuit and Galactic Enforcer?

Echo Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 My TRU had all of the sets except for Hyperspeed Pursuit and the Galactic Enforcers. Quote
Spacefan Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 My TRU had all of the sets except for Hyperspeed Pursuit and the Galactic Enforcers. They better be made available in the USA, and soon! Quote
