the Inventor Posted October 27, 2010 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fugazi Posted October 27, 2010 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piratedave84 Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) 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, 2010 by Piratedave84 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plastemaurer Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) 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.

Oky Posted October 27, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omega 8 Posted October 27, 2010 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikey Posted October 27, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Builder Posted October 27, 2010 Those are neat! I really like that Mech one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted October 27, 2010 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted October 27, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted October 27, 2010 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 ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vexorian Posted October 27, 2010 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.

gotoAndLego Posted October 27, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted October 28, 2010 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.

Admiral Ron Posted October 28, 2010 Thanks for showing us these pictures! I am now excited to buy that Mecha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aanchir Posted October 28, 2010 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.

vexorian Posted October 28, 2010 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 >( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hawkyboy4 Posted October 28, 2010 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spacefan Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) 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, 2010 by Spacefan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Ron Posted October 28, 2010 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krystalKING Posted October 28, 2010 That mecha is a MOC!I saw it on brickshelf way in the the back.The owner calls it "the hand of justice". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrlegoninja Posted October 28, 2010 Those are some really cool prototypes! I personally hate the mech. It reminds me of 7649, which had a bad design. Looks cool though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
