About Space Police I

Cops and cells

The first Space Police range answered the Blacktron faction, which had arrived two years earlier. Its black and blue ships carry detachable prison cells, so a captured villain can be transported to a base and handed over. That simple play idea gave the line a clear sense of purpose: patrol, pursue, arrest. All six sets were released in a single year, 1989, which makes this one of the shortest runs in Space.

Every set in the range

Mission Commander (6986-1) is the flagship at 477 pieces. Space Lock-Up Isolation Base (6955-1) follows with 252, then SP-Striker (6781-1) with 230 and Spy-Trak 1 (6895-1) with 152. Galactic Peace Keeper (6886-1) has 121 pieces, and Message Decoder (6831-1) is the smallest at 34. The Space Police name returned in later years with new ranges, which is why this first generation is known as Space Police I. Bricoria lists the parts for all six, so you can see what each one needs and how much of the theme you could rebuild from your own collection.
