Freeze Ray Frenzy

Really cool alien vehicle

Posted by David1971 in United Kingdom on 15 November 2009

The best thing here by far is the alien, 'Kranxx' - a very nicely designed minifig, original and with excellent attention to detail - and in particular his very unusual black 'hotrod hover-cycle', which looks cool and groovy and has lots of interesting detail. The police bike thing is fine but not very special. But this is a great set if you concentrate on the 'hotrod', and borrow bits from the traffic light and the police bike to modify the black vehicle so it's the coolest in the galaxy. Therefore, the set encourages exploration and play, and gets 5/5.

Great set for a decent price

Posted by Cyborg Phloyd in United States on 29 October 2009

I remember that I got this set the same day I bought Squidman's Pitstop, and is part of the reason why I got into Space Police III. I saw the article about Squidman's Pitstop in a lego catalog and I for some reason wanted it. I went down to a nearby Lego store to buy it. I saw that there was only one more set of Freeze Ray Frenzy so I grabbed it and thought it might be a good addition to the pitstop.

This set is truly a good one. Lots of pros and only minor cons.

PROS
Both vehicles are very well designed and have a futuristic, sleak and stylish look. I will admit I was suspicious of what I might think of the Ray Bike (that's what the police vehicle is called if I'm correct) because of the odd use of a trike chassis. Fortunately, the geniuses down at LEGO perfected the design and gave it a look that it would otherwise not have had if that piece weren't used. Kranxx's hotrod cycle is sweet too. I boasts a common feature in Black Hole gang ships; four wings on the ship. This gives it a good uniform type of look when compared to other gangster ships. Its design is also very convincing that the thing is wicked fast and a truly thuggish machine; perfect.

The minifigs are excellent, as they always are IMO in Space Police III. The police officers are great figures, but to me, they always feel COMPLETE when a black airtank piece is on them, which in this set it is. Kranxx is a great figure, with a well designed head that gives him a fearsome look.

CONS
The only con I can think of for this set is the price. I remember back in the day a set like this might be 5 bucks, half of this set's price. Still, back in the day, there wasn't that immense a variety of pieces, and the minifigures weren't nearly as good as they are in Space Police III. So the price isn't even a con, technically.

Though this is a lengthy review for a small set, I feel that it deserves one because LEGO did an excellent job with this set. I would recommend it to any LEGO fan out there! 5/5!

Excellent!

This is the first Space Police III set I got, and I am quite happy with it. I got mainly for the figs and because I though the speeders could fit well into Star Wars with some modification.

Pros:
-Both ships are very cool.
-Great minifigs, especially Kranxx.
-Although it has many stickers, they are very cool and make the bike look a lot better (I didn't use the police one.)
-The flame piece is pretty cool.
-The traffic signal and stop sign are nice touches, and have some useful parts.

Cons:
-For those of you who thought flick-fire missiles couldn't get any worse, they have made handheld versions. One can hope this does not spread to Star Wars.
-There are many stickers (I don't care much, especially since they are so good, but some do.)

This is a very good set, especially for only $10 or $11. I definitely recommend it to any space fan.

My first Space Police set

Posted by Kalhiki in United States on 05 October 2009

And I am very happy about it. In this review I'll start with the small and go up to the large.
1. The smallest thing in this set is the stopsign. It is a great addition to this set. It also, along with the stoplight, is great to play with the set. Now you can have a reason to arrest Kranxx (running a stoplight). The word "stop" is written in a futuristic-spacey text. The only problem I have is that it's a sticker, so make sure you have it on straight.
2. The stoplight is well-crafted for being an accessory. Not much to say accept that it looks like a stoplight.
3. I'll do the police man first even though he has more pieces than Kranxx. Once again, not much to say, except he doesn't look like a stoplight. The pants and shirt are very detailed with the badge in the center of the shirt. He's got the air tanks on his back, and a helmet with a visor. His face looks angry (must not have gotten his coffee this morning) and has some sunglasses. He also has a microphone head-set.
4. Kranxx, the mean orange monster. His pants have knee pads, a chain and two pointed shapes. Those are the fangs for the skull on his belt. He has a sleeveless, unzipped jacket showing off his muscles. he also has a skull insignia on the front and back of the jacket. He's got a very scary head with weird tentacle-looking things on his head which appears to be hair. He's got fangs and beady black eyes.
Onto the vehicles!
5. The Space Police vehicle is very strange. It is pretty much all one part. There isn't much to say. It's overall appearance is bad, but it works. It has flick fire missiles, lights, and an engine.
6.The largest part is the bike. It's very threatening looking with the scratches and bullet holes on the wings. Not to mention the skull on the engine. But there is something that looks bad. On two of the wings there is a streak of red. I think Kranxx may have his something living. It has two small guns and one big gun at the front. It also has a monitor screen and steering handles. There isn't much to say at the back section. One of the wings has stylized writing that looks like it says Kranxx, but I can't make it out. Finally there is the fire trail made of the new flame piece. I advise to leave that on because it looks weird without it.
Overall a very nice set despite the price. I recommend you picking it up if you find it.
That was a longer review than you expected wasn't it?

Time to catch Kranxx

Posted by StarWarsManiac in United States on 13 August 2009

This set is my favorite Space Police set so far,

Characters:
Police Officer
Kranxx

Ships
Police Speeder
Kranxx's Speeder

Others:
Traffic Light
Stop Sign

This set is awesome, and as you know is my favorite set so far (I have Squidman Escape, this and Gold Heist). The Build was easy and the set was sold at a great price. I got this when my little brother got the Gold Heist set (I already bought the Squidman Escape set) and they fit perfectly together. So go out and get this must buy set!
