RileyC Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 wow I love all the purple! I like the minifigs especially squidtron I just love the purple on top of his head. Great review Quote
CommanderFox Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Great Review Ja7on! WOW I love the look of this set! All that Purple! Squadtron looks Awesome aswell! Great job! CommanderFox Quote
Oky Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 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? Quote
fubuki4 Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 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!

Ja7on Posted November 19, 2009 Author Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) 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, 2009 by Ja7on Quote
snefroe Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 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? Quote
Spyder Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 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! Quote
Front Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 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. Quote
