About Space Police III

Cops and aliens

Where the earlier police lines chased human rivals, Space Police III sent its officers after a crew of alien criminals. Squidman even gets his own set, Squidman's Pitstop (5980-1), with 394 pieces. The theme belongs to the wider Space family and ran for just two years, 2009 and 2010, producing 17 sets in total.

Flagship, base and pursuit craft

Galactic Enforcer (5974-1) is the largest model at 825 pieces, followed by Space Police Central (5985-1) with 631 pieces. Mid-sized sets make up much of the range: Hyperspeed Pursuit (5973-1) with 456 pieces, Lunar Limo (5984-1) with 391, Max Security Transport (5979-1) with 330 and SP Undercover Cruiser (5983-1) with 317. Container Heist (5972-1), at 282 pieces, rounds out the bigger releases. Several sets pair a police vehicle with a villain's getaway craft, so a chase scene comes built in.

Worth tracking down?

Because the line is short and self-contained, collecting all of it is realistic. Use the parts lists on Bricoria to check a second-hand set for completeness before you buy it.
