“This is the first Space Police III kit I have built. It was a good build, as usual splitting into 3 stages certainly make it quick. There are some nice details on the transport, particularly those rear thrusters. Though as I mentioned earlier the cockpit lets itself down due... More to the Officer having to hold his arms up high.”

“This set is the only set focused around a wheeled vehicle in SPIII so far. Despite the wheels, it is an excellent set. The minifigures are not that bad. Slizer looks very threatening with his spiky helmet, just like Snake. These sections of the MST are fairly good, and... More together form a fairly neat escape pod (albeit with multiple weapons).”
