This set is a great for ground battles. It is perfect for tank combat with other land vehicles such as the Spyrius robots or the Spectral Starguider (Blacktron 2). the trailer detaches, allowing this to separate into two ground vehicles, or, to launch the airborne reconnaissance vehicle. Like the Rebel Hunter, the airborne vehicle can pick up the holding cell. Another cool feature is that the flying part has great swooshability like Rebel Hunter.

However, I always wondered how the Space Police would transport their ground vehicles between planets?...

This set is very awesome! The construction is simple, yet fun. The large plastic wheels roll nicely, and the trailer/joint give it a snake like movement. You get 2 cockpits on the main ship, and a detachable cell for prisoners. The trailer has a breakaway spaceship that transforms between scout and hi-speed modes. The best part about this set is the color scheme-- the black/red/grey with trans-green is a match made in Lego heaven. The decorated slopes and tiles add a superior touch!

If you don't have this set, get it! I love it so much that I have 2-- 1 for play, and 1 for show.

Pros: Lots of wheels, cool colors, multiple parts

ONLY Con: Blacktron fig was an afterthought

This is a really cool set made back in 1992. I like the little spacecraft and that the vehicles are very space-like. I don't get why there is a Blacktron minifig in this set. Maybe he was arrested. Besides that, this is very good and gets a 5.

This set has great form and function, and I fondly remember many hours rolling it around the house as a kid. I like the fact that it has several parts: command cockpit, trailer, and a small craft that can carry the prison cell. It's even better than the Galactic Mediator because it has none of the big ship's shortcomings. If you don't have this set, I strongly recommend picking one up!

One of the better Space Police 2 sets. A strange yet awesome land crawler Police vehicle. It is an absolutely incredible space ground vehicle that looks perfectly at home roaving over desolate alien landscapes. The colors are fantastic. The parts amazing these days. That trans green is to die for. The dual canopy is fantastic.

The set is a 2 part tractor trailer arrangement that we have seen many many times in Lego Space. Most recently in the totally awesome 7066 Earth Defense HQ from Aliens Conquest. This is one of the better interpretations of the layout. The lead tractor has the sleek pilot compartment followed by one of SP2's modular prisoner cells. The real trailer is mainly a flatbed that carries a small to mid sized flyer.

The biggest disconnect with the set comes from it's name and also from the theme to which it belongs. They call this thing the "Solar Snooper" which leaves one suspecting that the naming committee back at Lego HQ was simply throwing darts at words taped up on a dart board. Because this thing has nothing to do with "Solar" and beyond a pair of basic antennae is completely incapable of snooping. Even weirder it is a Space Police vehicle, which seems to really have no effective police purpose? This massive 12 wheeled ground assault military vehicle to transport 1 prisoner? Looking at it the closest guess I have for its intended purpose is someone looked at one of Lego City's ubiquitous semi annual "police helicopter transporter trucks" (absurd in and of themselves but loaded with play value) and said "let's make one of those IN SPACE!" (please feel free to insert heavy baritone reverb voice for those last 2 words).

The truck is fantastic even if it has no interior and few major features besides being a massive planet crawling truck. The flyer has a few issues. The biggest being the strange way it accordian folds in the middle and uses just the curved hinge nub on the inner facings of its two arms to lock in and hold the transport cell. This is a design that it shares with 6897 Rebel Hunter. Unfortunately unlike the Rebel Hunter which had some technic axles along the top stabilizing the whole accordion mechanism front to rear, this flyer does not share that feature. Making it a bit tricky to keep in one shape. It is inherently unstable. Abd loading and unloading the prison pod is awkward, with it having to be done at an arbitrary point mid transformation with the whole thing flexing and folding every which way.

Minifigs are 2 Space Police 2 officers and 1 Blacktron 2 prisoner (who seems way too creepily happy about the whole thing. It's like they've captured the Joker.)

Overall an awesome set and one of the best of the arguably strange SP2 line. Sleek and Menancing as it crests over the alien landscape.
