Space Police 2009!

[CP5670]

Nice, it sounds like the big sets are coming out sooner than I thought.

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 -

Could someone who has Hyperspeed Pursuit and/or the Galactic Enforcer post a review?

[Derek]

I just noticed a female cop in that group pic previously posted. Does any one know what set she's in?

As far as I know very few people own these sets. They haven't been released in the United States and SP3 is proving elusive in the UK. But eventually!

Yep, the Galactic Enforcer. Personally I wish they had given her a different torso, a la Trace from Agents.

Yeah, but the SP are wearing hard armor, not jumpsuits like the Agents.

I'm guessing that LEGO is holding those back an extra few weeks - they aren't on S@H yet, and I know that even though the Woodfield LEGO Store got a bunch of new stuff in recently, their Space Police selection is limited to Squidman, Freeze Ray, Gold Heist, and the Space Truck. (Which makes me sad, because those were the two sets I wanted most )

They're also wearing open helmets in Space.

Giving their size, I'll have to bet Hyperspeed Pursuit and Galactic Enforcer are very complex sets to manufacture (more parts bags per box, etc), thus taking longer to produce. I suppose its more about having an adequate supply on hand to meet demand.

^ Also LEGO realizes children don't have $100 to spend on sets unless it's their birthday or Christmas. So they release the cheaper sets now, get people talking about the sets and then release the bigger ones so the kids can go "I want those for Christmas!"

I love the fact LEGO finally puts in air tanks for a space theme, but then has helmets that aren't sealed. I know when I was a kid that would still piss me off.

If your short on standard black helmets, theres always Pick A Brick (Element ID: 4298619) and Bricklink.

Galactic Enforcer.

Galactic Enforcer.

DAMN! that's the really big $80-$90 one...

[Erdbeereis]

I spotted the 2 SP impulses at Galeria Kaufhof in Munich, but none of the other sets were there.

A review is forthcoming.

[Algernon]

$99.99 actually.

Plenty worth it though. That set looks great.

true.... but I don't happen to have $100+ lying around, though my B-Day IS coming up.... But still-one doesn't just ask for a hundred dollar LEGO set for their eighteenth birthday.

I think I'm going to ask my wife for Squidman's Pitstop for Christmas (if I haven't bought it by then)

I would, if I wasn't capable of buying it myself.

Galactic Enforcer.

Yup; he's going to be the rare/expensive fig from these sets, currently only available in the most expensive set.

No doubt. He is most likely in there exclusively so the set will sell better. Not that it wouldnt otherwise, it looks like a great set.

True that! those blue capsules in the side are what get my attention. I didn't get any MM sets last year, so missed out on a lot of space parts. Maybe I WILL ask for that set... it's worth it.

Personally I was most impressed by the detail. It has a pretty well realized interior, and the cockpit looks great too. It even has a compartment to store a little land rover (currently the only known land vehicle from the theme).
