Scurvy Lobster

Cool! You could make a nice modular base out of it. Thumbs upwards :)

Wow! Really nicely done :)

My only real problem with this set is that the wheels are connected to the hull with so thin elements. I imagine them breaking within minutes of handing the car over to a kid.

Yes, I should have stressed that the title discussion was focused on who was raiding who in the set? Space Police VPR raiding Squidman or the other way around. At least with the Danish title Razziafly (English: Raidplane) that is absolutely clear. It was just a detail that caught my attention :)

Hi! I'm new here so this is post #1 from me. I read through most of this thread with excitement since I recently purchased my thirst Lego boxes since childhood (I'm nearly 30 now). The new SP III sets really got me and I walked home with the Galactic Enforcer, Lunar Limo, SP Central and the Smash 'n Grab. They fill up most of my desk right; assembled of course :) While reading through this thread I found an interesting discussion about the Raid VPR set. A small quote from user Oky Wan Kenobi on page 7: "Raid VPR looks great as ever. I just hope it'll be cheaper than Amazon shows it. Also, I still think the name of the set is rather curious. I mean, who is doing the raiding here? With Batbrick's conspiracy theory in mind, I can't help but think that it's the space police... " (Italics done by me) Since I am Danish I believe that the reason for the Raid part of the name is simply translation gone wrong. In Danish the name of the set is "Razziafly" and since Lego is a Danish brand that might have been the original name. In Danish "razzia" is associated with police hitting down on something (which makes sense when looking at the set) but if you look at the word razzia in a Danish-English dictionary it will tell you the translation is "raid". Unfortunately raid in English isn't specifically a "police raid" unless said so. I might be wrong in this but it does make sense to me that the Danish understanding of "razzia" got lost in translation.
