which are better? now or then
Needs another option:-
Classic Space
Todays for sure.
Why?
Because there are villans. And well defined ones too. Actually a need for the space police.
Sure the space police need a "base set", and the bad guys need some sort of pirate cove, as the pit stop isn't quite enough for a base for them. Actually, a 3rd party venue such as a "space bank" set would be cool too.
But overall they're much better now.
I'd go for the originals. space police 1, because of the black blue and trans red colour scheme. and their prisons were the most awesome design.
the original Blacktron was a great 'villian' cos they looked mean ass, the new SP has rather comical alien looking villains which does'nt appeal to me that much.
I liked Space Police II, the green ones... :p
Space Police I for me, along with the original Blacktron. :)
For those that need a visual reference:

I'm no lego collector, but when I was into Lego as a kid, The original Space Police were my second favourte Lego Space range, After the original Blacktrons of course. Although I suppose the green ones were pretty nifty to, at least compared to the ugly Blacktron remakes.
This wouldn't even be an issue if the new Space Police were in the awesome original colours.
Really? Nah, it's pretty gaudy.
The new ones are more true to classic space with white/blue. :)
And the bad guys have awesome "raider" style vehicles.
I like the original space police lines, they look like true galactic enforcers and have real helmets so they look like they're actually operating in space.
SPIII reminds me too much of pig cops who cruise around looking to lynch unfortunate people (aliens) or hide around corners with their radar guns looking to book you tickets :p
Also SPIII uniforms are very very bland. I also tend to hate on sticker-heavy sets.
If it helps, Big W having big sale on Space Police range starting from today!
all this talk of space police, couldnt help but throw a little scene together :)

Ah the nostalgia!
One thing i'm sure of, the original Space Police had the best prison pods IMO.
Okay. I got the impulse buy K-9 as a gift.
New Space Police wins.
