“I really like it. I even think that it is one of the best sets in the space police III line. I love the design of the truck; it looks like a rugged semi-truck beefed up for space travel. All the little details on the engines and the cab of the truck and the sticker designs... More really add to the overall feel of the set. The idea of the set is really neat. A band of space criminals steal a storage crate containing top-secret police technology and use it against the police themselves.”

“Also, among the Graffiti are the words 'Mark' and 'Adam G.'. The latter made the sketch models of this set, but according to the LEGO Sets Designed by Mark Stafford, 2009 scource, Mark (Stafford) hasn't designed this set. Adam G. also referenced himself as MisterZumbi, what... More is referenced in the 5973 Hyperspeed Pursuit.”
