I received this set as a gift when I was a kid. Hands down, this is my absolute favorite LEGO set of all time! I played with this thing nearly every day, crashed it a billion times and rebuilt it (luckily all of my ships had an "auto-repair" feature that *I* powered, hehe!). This set sells for about $13 on Bricklink, which is shockingly close to a retail price, making it a great value to outright buy today! The set comes with a few pieces that are rare (in fact I think the red quarter-spheres have only been in this set), so it's an excellent buy at Bricklink. On simply the merits of the sleek design and easy to crash and rebuild structure, I would recommend adding this set to ANY space fanatic's collection!!

This an awesome set! I love it. My brother was bif into Lego, when he was a kid, so he got lots of Lego, so this set was his, but he left so now it is mine. Okay onto the reveiw:
The minifigs:
Two of them, only one can fit in the nose though, th other one has to go into the escape capsule. Look at the picture above.
The Ship:
Very nice fighter ship, lots of swooshability, if you push the back in, the escape Pod falls out. Lots of nice pieces.
The Escape Pod:
Just a little thing that a minifig can fit in. With a little bit of modifaction you can make this into a bomber.

Very nice set. Can't wait for Space Police 3!

This is my first Space Police II set, and now I want to get the others. The sleekness and design is great, with a high swoosh factor and a well realized shape. It a good size for the piece count, too, and it includes two minifigs.

I notable feature of the set is the shape-shifting prison cell release element. It's every bit as weird as it sounds. The outer walls of the ship's midsection move outwards to release the cell, collapsing the back half and creating a much smaller ship. It's a neat idea and I like the innovation, but the ship is a little weird looking when it's collapsed. Also, the prison cell will also tend to unlock itself in a bid for freedom if you fly it around holding it somewhere besides the midsection. But it's not a big deal since you will almost always hold it by the midsection.

It should be noted that, while LEGO tries to pass this off as a stunt fighter, it's really more of a prison transport barge. It's swooshable enough to play like a fighter, but in terms of aesthetics it looks like it was designed with something else in mind.

I wouldn't pay an outrageous amount of money to get this MISB, but used it's a great addition to any Space fan's collection.

This is one of my favorite space ships, and it is obvious to see why. If you compare this to SP I, it probably isn't as good (or expensive) but this doesn't have a 9V battery pack, lights, a light up CPU monitor, and the awesome laser bar effect, but this is still a 5/5 ship no matter what.

This ship does have two figures, a bad guy (blacktron) and a good guy (space police), which in terms of any set is the most ideal condition, gi´ving you a taste of each! The cockpit is really cool and if you look at the computer monitor you can actually tell the ship on-screen is the ship itself. The back of the ship has an accordion like hinge system, allowing it to fold and unfold to grab and release the cargo: the signature space police jail cell, with a panel at the bottom just sized to hold the figure's feet. This cell, however, is more roomy compared to the SP I's tiny cell. The coolest part to the set is, in my opinion, the wings. The wings are awesome with each one being a stanchion support with a booster at the end. If you want these are the perfect foundations for a base!

The cons to this set are that
- the cell sometimes falls out (lucky break for the prisoner)
- the cockpit has a hole at the back.
- and lastly, the very back is bare, a bracket under the tailfin with a booster or cone would have fixed that though.

Find one if you can get a good deal, no more than $20 used, though.

This was the smallest original (93) Space Police II set to come out. It has a very cool way to drop the jail. Very sleek too. Worth buying if you can find it on eBay or Bricklink. Anything under $30 (US) is a good price.
