Notes

Major Kartofski's participation in Space Police 3 video (Log 4: HQ briefing) is actually questionable, since a minifigure with the same face patterns but wearing different clothes and being a police officer was never officially confirmed to be Kartofski. This fact became just a fan theory published by Brikipedia but later on made its way to the official LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed Game trivia which now can be viewed as an official source.
