I picked this set up because it was cheap and it had some cool figures. This set comes with one Space Police officer which has a very detailed printed torso and legs. The Officer also has a cool double sided head with one side being a happy/confident face and the other being an absolutely terrified face. He is equipped with a black helmet and visor. In addition to the officer this set comes with one awesome Squidman figure which has a detailed printed hard plastic head and a very detailed printed torso. He also has a red cape and one stolen hundred dollar bill. The Raptor (the officer's vehicle) itself is an extremely simple build but when finished it looks very sleek and fast. Here are the basics of the set:

The good things

Officer
Squidman
Raptor
Hundred dollar bill

The bad things

Stickers
No weapons
No handcuffs

Over all, I highly recommend this set.

You have to get this toy! It's one of those smaller sets and probably cheaper elsewhere (about half), but nonetheless, if it's gone already from your store, be sure to grab this one. It's probably one of the most durable Lego sets we've ever purchased. It even took being slammed up against a wall without breaking! Great toy, tons of fun - good ole' Squiddy's cape even comes packaged separately. Love that detail! This series is super cute anyway, and cool and is highly loved in this house. It's nice also that it contains two of the figures with this smaller set. Highly recommend!

This is a fun little Lego set. We are happy to add it to our Lego collection. My son especially loved Squidman.

Wow, are these ever neat! This was the first Space Police set to arrive in this house and was very highly anticipated. This set is very durable, doesn't take too long to assemble, but it sure does provide for tons of fun! The squidman is particularly funny - I really like these aliens over the Mars Mission series. They're just full of more character. Plus, they have a cape - does it get any cooler than that?! Anyway, this set is extremely durable for play after it is assembled and even works right in with the Mars Mission series. However, this price is very high - you can get this in town for about six bucks. Highly, highly recommend!

After trying a couple of Lego City sets, I decided to see if my son would enjoy something from the Lego Space Police line. The Squidman's Escape set was the least expensive of the bunch, so we gave it a try. It's essentially a small single-person spaceship with a pair of minifigures - a space policeman and an alien villain.

Complexity: My son is only 4, but he was able to at least help build this little spaceship. There isn't much to it, so it took about five minutes to assemble. He, of course, assembled the policeman and Squidface minifigures.

Playability: This was a huge hit. I didn't expect such a tiny set to keep my son entertained for so long, but he keeps coming up with new storylines for the characters and ship. The little money piece and the reversible head for the policeman (now he's happy, now he's angry) are his favorite parts of this set. The ship itself is surprisingly durable considering the movable parts (handlebars, rear section, hood).

This simple little set turned out to be a big success. My son and I are both looking forward to the next Lego adventure.

Bought this about a week ago, it's a pretty nice Space Police set remaniscent of the older ones from the '80s and '90s (which some of the new Space Police sets are).

The small hovercycle is an easy build with few, easy to place stickers. It has a couple features that are below-basic, but has a lot of potential for imaginative play.

The police officer is nice looking with silver painted glasses (if he looks familiar, it's because he uses the same head from a minifig in the Agents theme) and even has a two-sided head showing either a confident or frightened face. The wanted criminal, Squidman is also nice looking (for a bug-eyed alien). He even has a nice red cape. The only other accessory is a one-hundred dollar bill.

For about $6 (the one shown here may be overpriced, I'd suggest trying your local stores first) this is a nice starter for getting into the new Space Police theme or as a small gift for a LEGO lover you know.

I loved this set, but I get mad when it falls apart! I wish the part stayed on better, but it's way cool! I can't wait for another set!

Easy and quick to put together. Lego always seems to do a great job on having durable toys. Fun for the kids!

Very cool, little Lego Space Police starter set.

PRO's-Neat little designed 'raptor' vehicle for your Space Policeman. Front hood opens up. Back section tilts back. Squidman has a very cool head sculpt. Space Policeman has a helmet with visor you can lower and raise.

CON's-Neither Squidman nor the Space Policeman have any hand weapons. A blaster and or some kind of future 'baton' wouldn've been nice.

Good starter set for your 4, 5 or 6 year old. Easy to assemble (note the positioning on the stickers on the 'raptor' vehicle. Follow the direction closely on this).

My 7 year old daughter likes the squidman and the space police. They are different than what we have seen in the stores in our area lately so her friends were thrilled about seeing new "guys"!
