Micro-Scale Rebel Hunter (6897 Space Police Rebel Hunter)

Space Police was such an awesome theme when I was growing up. I loved the designs, with the police chasing after Blacktron agents. Set 6897 was the first Lego set I remember getting when I was growing up. I still have it today!

I had hours of fun playing with this, and especially loved the colour scheme and prison cell to capture badguys. The cockpit was cool with a detailed computer screen – the image is of the weapons-system targeting another ship.

The design would probably come across as ‘simple’ to todays standards, but I think the ship can still hold her own!

The set was originally released in 1992, so I would have been 10 years old when I got it. All respect to Lego, as it still looks immaculate after 30 years… despite lots of play from me and now my son.
