Toys and Games Reviews of LEGO Space Police Max. Security
Customer Review: Excellent Design!
Summary: 4 Stars
Another wonderfully designed Lego Space Police vehicle. This vehicle is actually a combination 4 wheeler, paddy wagon, starship and shuttle craft. Loads of fun to play with and the build is fairly easy with just minor help your 6-7 year old on up can handle it. Here's the rundown below...
PRO'S-
Overall, it's a beautiful, uniquely designed craft. Great to look at in all angles. 4 extra large tires (made from 6 large tires) with big teeth/treads. Mounted to the middle is the 'jail pod/cell' which can hold a single bad guy. Back section has a nicely, designed engine.
Cockpit/front section...can detach and attach itself to the rear/engine section (which also detaches) to form a shuttle craft. Good, fun play feature. And when attached, looks good and nicely designed.
Mid section/jail cell...Top half of the cylindrical jail can come off to mount the prisoner inside. The set comes with 2 pairs to hand-cuffs to immobilize the baddie. You can raise the cell to open and put in the figure and then it tilts back. Now if you tilt it back all the way flat, you raise the shields and weapons mounted left and right of the vehicle. Looks good in this position and helps clear the firing lines of those lasers above the tires when it's a land vehicle.
Jail Cell...Right above the jail cell is a black target with a red technique pin in it's center. Now with this set comes a space bike riden by one of the baddies that has a spring loaded missile (rubber headed). You fire the missile to the jail cell's target...hit it...and it pops open the top half of the jail pod so your fellow goon can escape. The Jail Cell must be in the tilted position for this to work, not the fully flat position. The fully flat position protects the jail from opening as well as the raised shields protecting the craft. A nice touch Lego put into this set.
Space bike...Simply design but looks neat with an engine block in the rear and the large spring loaded weapon at the front.
Final feature...When you lift the entire Security transport off the ground, all four wheels tilt downward simulating a vertical take off simulating a hover craft or VTOL (verticle take off and landing).
You also get 3 mini-figures...A Space Policeman (with two sets of handcuffs), Snake Eye and Slizer (great helmet on Slizer). Note the Space Policeman and Snake Eye have tilting visors on their helmets.
CON'S-
Front cockpit looks great but the windshield doesn't have a hinge to open and close it. It snaps on. Which is fine but Lego could've easily designed for the hinge like on other Space Police vehicles. No biggie...you can modifiy it if you wish. Still looks great either way.
When lifting the transport, not all the tires tilt downward. You have to move some of them into position. I've found that over time, since the parts are new, they stay in place initially but loosen up eventually so all four tires tilt together when lifted.
Wish all 3 mini-figures had hand held weapons.
Final quibble...The independent suspension of the tires is sturdy but when in car mode the tires tilt inward slightly. Meaning not all four axles stay level to the ground. Again, not a biggie, just tilt the wheels so they are flush to the ground. Oh, also...the wheels roll best on carpet or couch or bed. Any surface too smooth won't make the tires spin as much.
I'd recommend this set despite some of the 'con's'. It looks great, fun and easy to build plus loads and loads of play features to keep you and your kid occupied. For the adult collector an excellently designed vehicle and great addition to the Space Police line.
