[REVIEW] Space Police II 6813 Galactic Chief

6813 Galactic Chief is a Space Police II set (there have been three lines of Space Police sets-the first was 1989, the second was 1992-1993 (special release in 1999), and the most recent is 2009-2010). For more information, go here.

The 6813 Galactic Chief was released in 1993, at US $3.00, containing 24 parts and one Minifigure. The set was the third smallest in the line (technically it's the fifth smallest, but there were two duplicate re-releases of the second smallest set).

The set is of a simple build. It has an angular shape, growing larger in the back. There are two thrusters/lasers, and a fin on top. There is a small windscreen that would seem ineffective at preventing things from hitting the pilot. When it comes to parts, the set has no really rare parts. It has one printed part, and a SNOT brick (with tubes). The rest is a bunch of relatively common parts.

The Minifigure in the set is small and ordinary, but still quite decent. It has an odd face, looking a bit surprised. The orange hair has never looked great on Minifigures, unfortunately. It has a black helmet and rare-is trans green visor. It also has a red epaulet.

Overall-I don't have a rating score for this set, because I really can't think of one that fits it. It has decent parts, but not a lot. It costs 12.5 cents per part, so it's not a great deal, although it does contain a Minifigure. The set could be better, but it's small-what do you expect?

I voted good because I'm loving the minifigure.

Nice review BobaFett2! :D

I voted for average, because In my opinion, the parts are average, the model itself is below average, and the minifigure is above average, with an outstanding torso print! ;)

This was my first set in this series. Rather simplistic and lacked a control panel plate usual found in all space sets even poly bags. Though some star wars sets also do without or just grill pieces. I liked the mini figure and I believe it was the only non pirate set to have the shoulder pads. I remember repurposing some and making captian and commanders of other space factions. When I got the rebel hunter I swapped the pilot with chief thinking he deserved a better ship to command.

The shoulder pads re-appeared in Adventurers (Sam Sinister), and are called Epaulettes by the way. The Rebel Hunter is a nice set, I have it as well.

The epaulettes first appeared in the initial Pirates offerings in 1989, but have seen a lot of use since then. Most recently in Space Police Central, in fact, for the newest iteration of the SP Chief!

The classic pirates theme released in 1989 have these pieces. The line had alot of unique parts not found before.
