Posted October 27, 201014 yr Well last Saturday I was at LegoWorld Zwolle, the Netherlands. And there was a stand with Lego Designers were they showed new sets and prototypes of sets. There I saw some Space Police 3 prototypes, that I wanted to share with you. Apparently they called Space Police, Galaxy Patrol before naming it Space Police: I do like the police version of the Skull Twins space vehicle: This ship I really like: the Inventor
October 27, 201014 yr Very interesting prototypes! It's amazing how the police ship in the fourth picture looks like a Classic Space ship of the Galaxy Commander design era!
October 27, 201014 yr Very interesting, thank you for the post!!!! I really like this, the mech-like one: It looks so .... transformable/swooshable/playable ..... Pirate Edited October 27, 201014 yr by Piratedave84
October 27, 201014 yr Some very interesting designs I really like this mecha. It looks a lot like the Ultra Drill Walker from the Mars Mission line. This looks also very nice, although maybe a bit to fragile for a police ship. Very interesting prototypes! It's amazing how the police ship in the fourth picture looks like a Classic Space ship of the Galaxy Commander design era! That was my first thought when I saw it, too. The similarity is so conspicious, it can't be a coincidence, imho. Thanks for sharing these pics, the inventor. Edited October 28, 201014 yr by Plastemaurer
October 27, 201014 yr Ah yes, I remember when we first got prelim set names of this line, it was called Galaxy Patrol too. I still like that name better than Space Police, which in my opinion is too straight forward in describing what the theme is (police in space). And is it just me or is that large transforming cruiser in the first pic a hundred times cooler than the Galactic Enforcer? And yeah, too bad we never got that mech (or any mecha for that matter) in this theme.
October 27, 201014 yr I would do horrible things for this Police "Car" http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jamesster/Space-Prototypes/5.bmp And of course THIS "Truck" that we were shown before... http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jamesster/Space-Prototypes/4.bmp
October 27, 201014 yr Thanks for sharing these pictures, they are some nice designs. I would do horrible things for this Police "Car" ... Yeah me to! That would have made a really sweet set, its got a great 70's style to it.
October 27, 201014 yr Very interesting, thank you for the post!!!! I really like this, the mech-like one: It looks so .... transformable/swooshable/playable ..... Pirate Agreed! I like this one a lot, and this one too: As for the Hyperspace Pursuit, I'm happy with the final product. Some of those prototypes are horrible!
October 27, 201014 yr Thanks for sharing the pictures, they look very similar to the current space police line, in terms of color and design. The mech is cool though.
October 27, 201014 yr Interesting designs, I wonder two things.....1. Why didn't the mecha make it - now would have been cool - a monster cop (eat your heart out Robocop ! ).....2. Why didn't they use the title 'Galaxy Patrol' it totally sounds sci-fi ? Keep on......patrolling !
October 27, 201014 yr Galaxy patrol sounds kind of cheesy to me. I bet the reason was to bait the old space fans. We are junkies ya know. It is going to be a while before I recover from the disappointment of TLG not releasing that spider mech thing. I wonder if I can make a MoC that looks similar to it, but I'd need new pieces I think.
October 27, 201014 yr Very interesting prototypes! It's amazing how the police ship in the fourth picture looks like a Classic Space ship of the Galaxy Commander design era! The current Galactic Enforcer has a strong Classic Space vibe to it as well.
October 28, 201014 yr Interesing indeed to see the SP3 prototypes, thanks for sharing The Inventor! It's a good thing they never used the "Galaxy Patrol" name, it's good to stick with the ol' reliable Space Police. But that mecha would have made a good set.
October 28, 201014 yr Nabii has definitely posted some of these "sets" on his flickr as MOCs. Makes me wonder-- were they prototypes that simply never stood a chance? Were they MOCs that someone decided to sneak in? Wish you could see some of the stuff from that poster in real life... that prototype Galactic Enforcer (or possibly an unrelated prototype flagship) looks pretty incredible.
October 28, 201014 yr Thanks for showing us these pictures! I am now excited to buy that Mecha I am sorry , but these are SP3 prototypes that never seen the light, so it is unlikely we'll be able to buy the mecha >(
October 28, 201014 yr These all seem very interesting, however, I'm more interested in what appears to be a Power Miners vehicle beside the mecha. Did you get to take photos of that as well?

Yes I did take pictures of those as well: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Iam-the-Inventor/LegoWorld/2010/img_0253.jpg and http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Iam-the-Inventor/LegoWorld/2010/img_0254.jpg the Inventor

October 28, 201014 yr Still would like to see this see the light of day in some form. If we don't have a proper Space theme for some time, perhaps in Star Wars as some unknown Republic Cruiser? Could TLG be saving this one for a reboot of something Classic? Now I'm sure this mech could be re-themed somewhere... Edited October 28, 201014 yr by Spacefan
October 28, 201014 yr I am sorry , but these are SP3 prototypes that never seen the light, so it is unlikely we'll be able to buy the mecha >( I am sad For some reason when I thought "prototype", I was thinking in the design stage, but now I am
October 28, 201014 yr That mecha is a MOC!I saw it on brickshelf way in the the back.The owner calls it "the hand of justice".
October 28, 201014 yr Those are some really cool prototypes! I personally hate the mech. It reminds me of 7649, which had a bad design. Looks cool though.
