Star Wars has been a winner since it started and has done a good job of presenting aliens, but not nearly enough of them for me. I could name a dozen alien figures I'd love to see.

SPIII is a shocker for me, as I'll explain next.

I don't know that I'd want to pick over the other, but I would like to take the opportunity to applaud TLG for putting some serious effort into the minifigs of SPIII. I was really pleased to see that it wasn't just another round of oddly assembled blobs or humans in marginal disguises but actual aliens with molded heads and personalities. Agents has been the same way, to me. I wasn't at all sold on either line initially, but they just keep putting out so much original material that I can't pass them up.

So in the end, I'm just happy with what we're getting right now from TLG and hope they keep up the great work. :thumbup:

Star Wars should have coolest but somehow i think the aliens are better in Space Police.

I demand more cool aliens for Star Wars.

Space Police all the way for me!

Why?

Squidman, but all of the alien minifigs are excellent characters.

Also with Space Police being an original theme the aliens are unique, and not the emulation of a film. This will probably divide along those who like Licensed, and those who favour the Lego themes.

Even if I was a great fan of SW when I was younger I voted Space Police III as the alien MFs are more visually attractive, like that incredibly funny Squidman :tongue:

In my opinion SPIII ha

In my opinion SPIII has some really great alien minifigs but I need to go with SW on this one. Sure the aliens in space police are of starnge colors and goood looking but overall the "specialized" headpieces in SW are more detailed :tongue: . Juts take a look at the Greedo or Kit Fisto headpieces and they have a superb detail and also some cool colors also we need to remember those alien minifigs that doesn´t have a new "mold" for the head but are very detailed too like thge new Nute Gunray and the pirates minifigs. The SW theme have a LOT of "species" too :thumbup:, jus take a look at how many species we got:

- Geonosians

- Weequay

- Rodians

- Mon Clamari

- Neimodian

- Hutts

- Ten Numb

- Kit Fisto

- Assaj Ventress

- Plo Koon

- Watto

- Sebulba

- Aldar Beedo

This are just some of them cuase I think I missed a few :thumbup: . So yeah in my opinion the overall SW theme have more and cooler aliens but remember it is just my opinion.

Well, looking at my name, you will already know which one I'm going for. :tongue:

But seriously, the Star Wars aliens look much better (more realistic) with their detailed head molds and prints. The aliens in SP3 look so damn cartoony, whereas in Star Wars, even alien figs from The Clone Wars have a certain realistic look to them thanks to the details. Of course Star Wars has some bad alien figs, like the one-molds Sebulba and Aldar Beedo, but since Star Wars has been around for so long, I think it's OK for it to have had a few bad minifigs along the line. Also, Star Wars has more exotic aliens. When you think of extra terrestrials, you think of very strange beings of different shapes and sizes, and Star Wars provides some good examples of that, whereas most of the aliens in SP3 are about the same size and are overall very similar humans, aside from having squid-shaped heads or tentacles coming out of their face. The only exception is Frenzy who is taller than everyone else, has a strange head, AND an extra pair of arms.

So yeah, Star Wars it is. :yoda:

Well of course the Star Wars aliens are going to be more detailed, they have to be. LucasArts probably has people specifically designing all the aliens in Star Wars, where TLC has significantly less people to do that. Besides, TLC's effort is more into the vehicles, not the minifigs, so I'd say for what we're getting, I definitely prefer the SPIII aliens.

Star Wars aliens really need to step up their game. Although I voted for them, TLG is doing a dreadful job with their most recent aliens made. I can't believe in any way shape or form that Lego couldn't do something as simple and common as a Twi'Lek head. Luckily, Arealight makes amazing customs, and I now have Aayla Secura.

But to tell you the truth, I dislike Squidman. Why did his head have to be grey? It should have been lime green like TLG originally planned! :hmpf_bad:

I am a big fan of Star Wars, but sorry all you other fans, Space Police III all the way. The originality in the aliens is amazing, and the molds are very nice. They seem to have a certain charm to them, and their torsos are great for other MOCs. :thumbup: The one hing I don't like is how Sqiddie is looking completely up. How is he supposed to escape from the cops when he's too busy star-gazing? :sceptic:

Just an old SW freak little reply: :tongue:

Ten Numb is a sullustan

Kit fisto is a nautolan

Assaj Ventress... some kind of humanoid? (we'll never know :tongue:)

Plo Koon is a kel dor

Watto is a toydarian

Sebulba is a dug

Aldar Beedo (not classified yet)

And you forgot some nice additions like the ewoks, the gungans, the jawas, the sand people, the wookies... And the most important ones: the ducks! lol (old SW freaks would understand the joke I presume)

I can't believe I still remember all those SW species names without checking it in my old SW encyclopedia! :laugh::vader:

I voted SPIII. Star Wars has some great "aliens", but they're the product of Georgey-boys imagination. TLC has now made some very cool-looking and decent "aliens" of their own.

i think star wars has loads of absolutly cool figures but I love how much effort and detail has been put into space police. I think that it is kinda unfair as star wars has been around for 10 years and space police just came out this year.

I voted space police III as their immediate/starting figures are brilliant.
