Algernon

Ok, um, we all appreciate your concern for the legality of risky image posting, but what was stated in that topic is now void because official pictures of these sets have been released. Also those angry faces are annoying and making it a weensy bit hard to take you seriously. No offense.

I think this theme will do alright, because it will draw in Spacers like starving cats to milk and I can see this appealing to many little kids as well. But that's only a guess. I'd like a ground-based HQ too, however I don't mind the focus on space vehicles because I already have plenty of ground from MM.

Max Security Transport? I'm quite excited for that one.

It comes with a Twin though.

It's clearly Squidman Pitshop, since I can see Squidman, but beyond that I can't make out enough about this set to decide if I want to buy it or not. Edited: Squidman Pitshop, not Escape

That set is very interesting, however I can't really tell what the hell it is... Nice find though!

Bottom line is, it's ok to post those pics.

These ARE the first wave. They're coming out with the rest. They're the impulses that accompany the first wave of every new line. The reason why we don't have other pics is because impulses were never displayed at Toy Fair and they generally don't show up in official pics until later.

That makes absolutely no sense. We have officially released pictures of all the sets. Why would posting these be a problem? IMO the impulses are the least remarkable sets, as usual.

Cool. It's interesting to see a "Space" style used in an underwater settings. I like the little bike in particular.

Yep. Pretty unremarkable impulses.

I definitely agree- Hyperspeed Pursuit is definitely the best that Space Police has to offer thus far. The other sets are still very good upon great, though. I love Gold Heist and the Galactic Enforcer.

Uh... definitely not. Mars Mission is a Space theme, although many people don't seem to like to call it that, it has all the necessary qualifying factors. Space Police 3, also, is most certainly a Space theme and to call it otherwise would be incorrect. I just hope I get to pilot a Galactic Mediator.

Cool, that sounds fun. I wonder what gameplay will be like.

Tsk, tsk, so many people are choosing licensed themes for their top favs. Best 08 set by far: That set had some of the best construction I have ever seen. Say what you will about Mars Mission, but this was a rare beauty among Space sets. Nabii designed it, which isn't surprising. Worst: I really regretted buying this set. The construction was kind of stupid, and it could barely stand up. The clone troopers it came with were creepy, and it was 30 effing dollars! No thanks.

My personal favorite day of the year! Cheers!

LEGO rarely, if ever, makes the TRU exclusives huge sets. I'd say we're probably looking at $15-$50 sets.

Throwbots were actually quite good for their time.

If you find some of these ads offensive, don't look at them. You don't have to prevent others who are less sensitive from enjoying and commenting on this strange new advertising campaign.

Actually, those are quite funny. But yes, I seriously doubt these are official. Anybody with a copy of Photoshop could have made these.

After going through the pictures again I'm finding I like the sets more and more... I prefer the police ships to the alien ships, for the most part, but the construction quality on all of them is incredibly impressive for a new theme. Usually it takes a wave or two for the sets to settle into their skins- remember Mars Mission? First wave was pretty unimpressive, but the second one was much improved. I sure hope we get several waves of these new Space Police, as I'm absolutely in love with the theme. I'll probably be picking up the whole line, something I rarely do.

I really have no idea...

Good. Of all the new aliens the orange one interests me the least. And we already have him in two sets.

They are also available at S@H.

Those would be the TRU exclusives. Space Police has a few of those too... we haven't seen them yet.
