Box
This box have quite a good box art, the police on the small raptor chasing Squidman, the new alien minifigs. The side of the box is the actual minifig size for you to learn the size, while the back of the box is another box art, nothing special, since this set has no function that comes with it. MY box a little damaged though. (^-^)

Accessory
The only minifig's accessories included in this set is the money, and it is printed and is the same with City theme note. Guess space note is usable in LEGO City. =P

Minifigs
Two minifigs are included in this set. Both of the minifigs have both side of their torso printed and we get a new alien head mold with printed detail on it. Below are the pictures:

At least there is something new from the revived space theme.

Space Raptor
Here's the small vehicle and it is just completed without stickers put on it. LEGO do give me some bricks with black scratch mark, but nevermind.

As you can see, there's nothing much to play with this set expect open and close the hood although there is no details there, and bending the rear part of the raptor.

And here's the process of applying stickers. What you need here is a cotton-bud and a toothpick. The reason of using toothpick is to prevent your finger print from being on the sticker, especially the transparent one and to prevent the sticker to lose it stickiness.

Once applied to the bricks, use cotton-bud to iron it.

And here, it is done. Of course it looks better with the stickers on, but it will be a disadvantages to MOCers.

Extra pieces
Here's the extra bricks left, just in case you loss it in the future or broken. I will keep them back inside the box anyway.

Completed model
Once the assembling and applying sticker process is done, this is the thing we get, a cool raptor and two minifigs. =P
