November 19, 200915 yr wow I love all the purple! I like the minifigs especially squidtron I just love the purple on top of his head. Great review
November 19, 200915 yr Great Review Ja7on! WOW I love the look of this set! All that Purple! Squadtron looks Awesome aswell! Great job! CommanderFox
November 19, 200915 yr Thanks for the great review. I'm definitely getting at least one of this set. It's such a great parts pack! Out of curiosity: Why did you tag this review with a emoticon? It makes it look like you don't like this set, but your review sounds like you do like it. Is it just because the purple pieces aren't useful enough for you? Also, as Spyder said, is there any clue of other SP3 sets other than 5981 Raid VPR in the booklet?
November 19, 200915 yr Purple, Meh. Did anyone else notice the sweet trans-yellow windscreen? It's a first in that color! http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=6238 Talk about the thruster/sirens producing flash-backs...that color makes me want to retrofit my old classic space with new glasswork!
November 19, 200915 yr Author I forgot to say great review. But seriously though, could you take a pic of that page to the right of the parts inventory in the instructions. It's shows the one new set we know about, does it show any of the other SP sets? I'll take a shot and add it in ... the main reason I didn't originally is it shows only one set, the Raid VPR. :/ I would have put in some other shots of the instructions, but they are quite plain. Edit ... here is the page after the inventory page: Edited November 19, 200915 yr by Ja7on
November 19, 200915 yr As we start the ATM, the older builders will experience a 1980-ish classic space flashback! i tell ya... just one more year and we'll be looking at a Galaxy Explorer rerelease! Soon Classic Space will have taken over this space theme and put it back where it belongs! well i can dream, can't I?
November 19, 200915 yr I'll take a shot and add it in ... the main reason I didn't originally is it shows only one set, the Raid VPR. :/ Oh well, that sucks. Hopefully we'll have more than just two new SP sets next year. Did anyone else notice the sweet trans-yellow windscreen? It's a first in that color! I completely forgot about the windshield! This will be my first in yellow! Yes!
November 19, 200915 yr I will admit I was rushing the build and focusing more on trying to get decent photos (I was learning as I went, hence the flash reflections on some shots and the like .. I was playing with my point & shoot camera until I found the 'food' mode), but I checked twice ... the ATM is irregular and just doesn't use the 3rd 1x2 slope. If you hit my flickr stream and look at the full-sized parts list you can see it lists 2x and I definitely have 3 of them. I ended up with an extra slope too, as I built this set last week. Nice review, nice small set, nice minifigures, especially Squidtron.
