This new Space Police sucks, deal with instead of crying because other people don't like it as much as you.

I take offense. You imply that if the fan base does not all agree that everything Lego does is perfect, there must be something wrong with us. I think the "Space cars? Yuck!" response that many fans are having is totally understandable.

I agree with Phoinix on all counts. I don't really want future police with flying cars. I want deep space explorers. I also really love the Star Justice set. Now, these sets are very similar to Star Justice and Space Skulls in way: More traditional Space designs for the Police, and wacky designs for the Bad Guys. I just think the Star Justice designs are way cooler than the design for the particular Space Police III ship we see in the picture. Also, while I love the Star Justice set, I didn't really care for the Space Skulls. Just give me two factions of space explorers and let them have skirmishes. I don't need any weird comic-book bad guys. I think Blacktron were the perfect "bad guys," because they aren't weird. They look really cool, but menacing. And it's just as well to pretend the are persecuted rebels, good guys in black fighting against the oppressive, fascist Space Police.

I like the alien, but the ships get a big ol' "Meh" from me. The hot rod is interesting but clashes with the white ship, and the white ship doesn't look so hot. I was hoping for designs like the Star Justice set. Those were great.

I used this opportunity to complain about pearled plastic pieces and stickers. Those cheap-looking pearly pieces are my number one Lego gripe right now.

That is extremely cool!

That is righteous! I love it.

I'm in for free stuff!

Very nice!

I remain cautiously optimistic. I have a feeling, with names like "squidman," this theme is gonna be pretty campy. Kinda like a continuation Star Justice and the Space Skulls. That could either totally kill or totally bomb, depending on how they pull it off. The idea of a Star Justice type set without stickers and without the piece limitations of pick-a-brick has me very excited, however. Things I hope to see: Air tanks The Space logo A cool color theme (no orange!) Things I don't want to see: Pearled plastic Stickers spring-loaded or pneumatic anything

What the heck is Blacktron III anyway?

Too bad we'll be forced to get a good guy and a bad guy in each set. I liked the old sets where they were sold separately, or like Classic Space where there weren't good guys and bad guys. Hey, am I the only one who always thought Blacktron got a bad rap? Like they were being persecuted? Arrested for Flying while Black?

Just wanted to say thanks to I Scream Man, Hinkley, and Aaron at Brothers Brick. My wife and I will have a very merry Christmas with the Castle Advent Calendar this year! We only bought one (didn't feel greedy), plus a City calendar. --Dan from California.

These sets show exquisite skill and creativity, and it's great to see what talented fans of Space can come up with using limited bricks and colors, but I can't help feeling sad at Lego's unwillingness to give us space sets with printed pieces (I hate stickers) and airtanks. Although I appreciate the Skull sets, they're a bit campy and wacky for my taste. Not that I could do better!

These would be so much better with airtanks, even the single airtanks from Aqua Raiders. I take it these sets only contain pieces from the Lego pick-a-brick selection? That's the only reason I can think of not to include airtanks.
