“The Message Decoder is a small land vehicle. It is Black and Blue, with some Transparent Red. It has two lasers in front, and two more which could also be lights. The lasers can rotate up. The vehicle is large enough to hold one Space Police Officer, and is controlled by two... More "joysticks".”

“Pocket money sets are not always anything to shout about. Here is the Space Police one and it is actually rather good. A suitably sci-fi design, still very in keeping with the 1970s and 1980s set ethos so pretty desirable.”
