Description

A robbery in orbit

This one is all about a raid: a container of valuable cargo is about to be stolen, and the Space Police are already on their way. The set supplies the scene where crooks and officers meet. Two minifigures are enough for that story. At 282 pieces the build stays compact, so the container, vehicle and extras should be finished in an evening, even if you take your time over the details.

Grey with a yellow accent

Dark bluish grey and light bluish grey carry the model, while yellow adds a warning-sign touch. That suits the picture of an industrial vehicle in space, where hazard colours naturally belong. The colour mix is sober but not dull, and combines well with other Space Police models. If you sort sets by colour, you will notice that grey and yellow turn up in many construction and cargo models, which makes them versatile to reuse.

86 different parts, lots of detail

Among the 282 pieces are 86 different parts. That is a high share, pointing to many specialist elements, mounts and small add-ons. During the build the instructions bring in a wide range of elements, which keeps things varied. If you want to rebuild later, you have a broad choice of parts for vehicles, cargo modules and stations in grey that combine easily with other space sets. That makes the set a good addition for anyone who wants to expand or rebuild their collection later on.

Parts list and “What can I build?”

The parts list on this page helps when you check a second-hand set or reorder individual elements. If you do not own the set, the “What can I build?” tool shows which models you can put together from your own bricks and how far you get. For a set from 2009 the parts list is also a good guide when you are deciding whether the search for a complete copy is really worth it.
