Although narrowly pipped for the title of Best Space Police I Ship by the fearsome Striker, this ship is one of the stronger small ship offerings in all the myriad Space subthemes over the years.

By far its best feature are the weapons winglets which, through clever use of vertical and horizontal hinges, deploy from under the nacelles. Great play value.

The cockpit is properly shaped and sealed with the double 45 degree inverted wedge slopes and fairings, which had been in use for several years in the Town theme, but which unaccountably seemed to take a few years to make it across to Space sets - you'll see nary-a-one in Futuron and just a handful in the latter years of Classic Space.

It's worth noting too that the 1x2 plate-modified-with-hook mechanism for attaching and detaching the portable prisoner cell works surprisingly well and is a cool feature across the Space Police I line, allowing quick prisoner interchange between sets.

The only detraction from this ship is one it shares with the above-mentioned Striker and the third ship of the Space Police I lineup, 6986: "Dude, where my engines?" There is no sign of any sort of powerplant or propulsion. It's not a big detraction overall and, let's face it, it did take me over 30 years to spot what had been subconsciously bothering me about the set. The bricks-with-stud-on-side at the back of the nacelles create a ready-made attachment point for at least a modest MOC remedy.

Don't let the lack of engines deter you - someone has to get out there and stop the Blacktrons!

This set is everything you would want in a space police spaceship, minifigures, laser guns, prisoners etc. The main play features of this set are what makes it stand out from the rest in my opinion, the laser guns can retract and fold up into the main structure, there is lots of room in the cockpit to place your minifigure, there is also a detachable prison cell which is cleverly placed onto the back of the ship for prisoner transport. The minifigures include a Blacktron spaceman and a space police officer. the printed parts and number of pieces make the set worth ever penny, this is one of my favourite space police sets ever!

pros:

playability

minifigures

colors

stability

cons:

none

For its size it's a very impressive spaceship with many functions like laser cannons under the wings and a detachable cell with a Blacktron prisoner. I really like the design and versatility of this set. I recommend this set to anyone who likes Lego Space and Lego in general. This was my first set ever and it's also my favorite set. It's almost thirty years old but looks way better than any modern Lego set. The color combinations are perfect and the minifigs look very cool.

This is another set that shows space police from 1989 was the best one. First of all, it has one of the detachable brillian blacktron jail cells. It also has the perfect number of laser gun (four) which is way better then space police two, because most of the ships had two weapons or less. The only thing about space police I i don't like is the color scheme of the minifigs, but since he's in the cockpit of this amazing ship, that's not very important.

4.7/5

6886: Galactic Peace Keeper

This set was released in the year of 1989, and is a part of the Space theme, and "Space Police 1" subtheme. I personally considers this set (and the subtheme, too) as a classic, and I know that more people also consider it as a classic. This set at the first view looks like a bit simple, but not much simple. It is really simple, but isn't like a small set, It is like a medium sized spaceship.

It includes 115 pieces, all useful and with good color scheme. Some pieces such as the black colored panel 1x2x3 have printed details. In this case, it have a "police" (Space police) logo. Also, this set don't includes stickers.

The building, playability and design are very interesting, all makes it a classic set. I don't know why someone said that this set is multicolored, this have three main colors (blue, black and some translucent red parts), like in the current mars mission theme (mars mission have the orange, white and translucent blue schemes as main colors). This set isn't multicolored, it features a nice color scheme and design, like a classic set.

All the contets included are useful, of course, but this set don't includes tools or weapons to equip the minifigures. But it at least have accessories like jetpacks and helmets with visors for the two minifigures included. About the minifigures, I really like the idea to put two different minifigures from different subthemes in a set, in this set for example, you can get a space police minifigure and a futuron astronaut minifigure.

Both minifigures have differences, but their faces are the original minifigure faces, with few details but awesome in design (though simple). The minifigures have different colors and details, and are really classics due to their simple details and Lego original style.

The pieces included don't looks like to me as special pieces (called sometimes as "overspecialized pieces"), some are a bit different from bricks (like the 1x6 bar with studs open), but aren't special pieces, they aren't huge pieces with few studs, or Bionicle pieces (some Bionicle pieces being used in other themes looks like sometimes as "special pieces"). And some as the pannels with printed details are common, so are by extension useful especially among this theme. For who don't know, special pieces are pieces with big sizes and with few studs, or basically pieces without much good uses, just used in the set to increase the design but at the same time , these pieces can affect the building.

The building is a bit basic. With instructions you can build it easily. The base of the prision (the "prision", or the "cage" is a part that is fixed at the spaceship's back, where the futuron minifigure goes) is made by some plates and a 4 x 4 inverted slope brick. A window and two pannels with printed details increase it, making the little walls at the side and at the back. A black 1X4 plate without studs is fixed at the lower front part, and it reduces the space for the minifigure to a space of 1X2 studs, space enough to a minifigure stay in feet. Of course, it is a small space, but it is because the building here is a small prision (a cage).

Above the window (you can put a translucent red piece on the window), there are two plates connecting the pannels of the sides, and at the middle, there is a 1X2 plate with arm, to connect it after to the other part of the spaceship. The teat of the cage is made by a 4X4 slope brick, and it is connected in the cage by a hinge tile 1X4. It is also increased by other small blue plates, and above by a 2X2 black plate without studs.

The part that makes the "door" (not exactly a door, because it is made by four red laser pieces) is a 1X6 bar with studs open, connected at the teat of the cage. Below, there are the red laser pieces, making the "door" of the cage. And at the sides of the bar, there are circular 1X1 red plates, just to increase it. The cage is very playable, and don't dismantle easily. The "door" is impressive, the laser makes it looks like more sci-fi, and it opens very well. Is a basic system, though works good.

Now, the other part of the spaceship.
The building is now a bit more complex, but still easy with the instructions. The base is made by a 2X8 plate with blue color scheme, and it is increased by some inverted slope pieces above. After it, the black long plates can be fixed. Some small black panels are used to increase a bit more inside, and some triangular blue plates (exactly one at each side) increases outside the spaceship.

Inside, some red light pieces are used to increase, and two Panel 3x3x6 corner convex with Space Police 1 logo printed details connects the back and front of the spaceship, using two 1X1 bricks with redlight to support, and these are fixed in each lower side of the spaceship (lower side, but inside the spaceship) by some 1X2 plates without studs.

At the front, a wing 3x4 with 1x2 cutout without stud notches (in other words, a small wing piece) increase this set a bit more (in terms of aerodynamic), helped by triangular plates at the sides. After this part of building, you just need to use a brick at the back, and some 1X2 plates with one stud, to fix the hinge plate 1x4 and after use the windscreen piece, finishing the cockpit. After it, you just need to connect the cage at the back of the spaceship, that is also very easy to do.

The minifigure can stay sit at the cockpit very easily, and it have inside space enough to put a minifigure and have no problems of dismantle inside.

The building is very easy with instructions, and all the building involved in the set is well made, the spaceship and cage are hard to dismantle if you be a bit cautious. But of course, some old pieces can lost the resistance during the time, so you can have few problems with the windscreen and with the cage's "door" (laser gate, in other words). About the building, it is a 4,8 out of 5. Good for a medium sized set, only could be a bit more increased inside, but still nice.

The playability is also very good, as a medium sized spaceship, of course it shows a good playability, it don't dismantle easily as I said before (but you have to know that sometimes the old pieces can lost the resistance due to the time), and as a building toy, you can make your creations or what you like with this, is very funny to play with. 5 out of 5 in playability.

The design is also very nice, but the windscreen is a bit strange, it could be a bit more increased, to don't show only one red translucent scheme. But, the color scheme still very good. It just needs few improvements in the sides and at the front. The design still around 4,6 out of 5.

So, here are the basic Pros and Cons about the set:
-Pros:
Good color scheme
Great playability
Decent building
Useful contents (especially in this theme)
-Cons:
Few tools to the minifigures
A bit simple in building

Now, if you search this set, you have first to know that the rarity makes the prices higher than before. But a easy way to get this set is by the internet. You can find it at Ebay (currently) by $10.45, and it ships by worldwide. But as Ebay is a site with bids, the price usually changes to higher. But this price is very good, as a rare and cool set, it worth really. Also, you can find it by Bricklink.com by a price around $15 to $20. You just have to know where the store ships to. All these prices are good, this set worth the money, and have exactly 115 pieces. I recommend it for any Lego fan (of course, especially Lego space fans) who are searching for an old spaceship with a decent size (not so big and not so small).

Overall, this set is nice, I saw no much problems on this, the color scheme (design), contents included, playability and building, though a bit simple, makes this a classic. It is so a 5 out of 5.
Hope you enjoyed the review.
