Minifigures 3
Description
An armoured van for the galaxy
At its heart this is a police vehicle with a clear job: moving dangerous criminals safely across space. That gives you a simple story to play out, with guards, prisoners and a truck that has to hold them all. At 330 pieces it sits in the middle of the range, big enough to feel like a proper build and small enough to finish in an evening. The three minifigures are enough crew for a short chase scene or a break-out attempt.
A dark, industrial colour scheme
The main colours are black, dark bluish grey, white and light bluish grey. Together they give the transport a heavy, armoured look that is quite different from the bright palettes of many play themes. Collectors who like their sci-fi vehicles sober and technical will appreciate that. The greys are also easy to reuse, because they blend in with almost any other colour and rarely stand out when you borrow the bricks for a different model.
Variety packed into a modest count
There are 92 different parts among the 330 pieces. For a set of this size that is a healthy spread: many plates, slopes and specialist elements appear only once or twice rather than in long runs of identical bricks. While building, that means a steady stream of new shapes. If you plan to rebuild later, the mix is a useful starter kit for vehicles, bases and chassis in dark grey tones, with plenty of small detail pieces to play with.
Checking and reusing the parts
If you own the set, the parts list on this page helps you check that everything is still there after a rebuild or a second-hand find. If you do not, the “What can I build?” tool shows which models your current bricks can make and how many pieces from this set would be needed. With an older set from 2009 like this one, looking at individual parts is often the more practical way to decide whether it is worth tracking down.
