Some minor corrections and other thoughts:

2 of these, trans red
2 black 2x2x2 mail boxes

The new wall also seen in the Droid Escape, but in black. Cool, we have
this in white, grey, and black.

I do like these elements, though I'm not sure how useful they are in
black

I REALLY REALLY wish the insert was trans-orange. Oh well, it will go
with Space Police I.

4x4x2 turntable on slider brick
8 1x4 horizontally slotted bricks
1 red 4x4x1 tipper bucket
2 red 6x6 octagonal dome
2 black round tiles w/Ogel 8 segmented radiation like symbol (I'm real
glad these are printed, it's a nice symbol)
1 trans red 1x4 brick
1 trans red 2x4x4 half cylinder
1 trans red 4x7x2 Star Wars canopy
I like this set. I will be buying several more at K-Mart BOGO sales for
parts. I like how the tail fins are done on the shuttle, I'm not sure
it's been done before, but I like it. Unlike Richard, I appreciate the
use of the 1x2 bricks w/technic pin for the modularity. It's a lot
easier to work with modules when the pin is part of a brick instead of
using 2 technic bricks and a pin.
One minor complaint, there's a 2x6 grey plate in the rear of the shuttle
which should be dark grey. It's also a shame that the rest of the trans
orange wasn't trans red instead. The Star Wars lasers in trans red would
be neat, as would 2x2 medium slopes.
