Vorkosigan Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Name: Infearno Interception Theme: LEGO Ultra Agents Year: 2014 Pieces: 313 Pieces Minifigs: 2 minifigures Price: USD $29.99 This set is nearing the end of its run on shelves as the new wave comes in, but still awaits a review. Personally its my first Ultra Agents set, I went for it because of the Blade Runner similarity. First, of course the box. The back, showing off all the action features and app tie in. The build is divided into two stages in numbered bags. The instructions has a very simple pale green background with grid pattern. Some parts that were interesting to me, I believe only the flame helmet piece is new. Nice to have the space armor in red. I don't buy Star Wars or much action themes so this is my first set with spring loaded missiles. This is the completed first stage of the build. Here you can see the ejection seat mechanism The figures, Agent Soloman Blaze and Infearno. The mech leg is a nice touch but while Soloman is a decent looking figure, Infearno is the clear standout. He really reminds me of a Mega Man villain. His armor, flame throwers and flame board are simple builds but come together very well. The printing on Infearno is very cool, its a shame the armor covers it up actually. But its great to have the printing available. The final build, look familiar? Getting even more Blade Runner-ish in this mode. All features open, the spring fire missiles work reasonably well and its nice they can be hidden. I feel like this should've been reverse printed or else the instructions should show it going on the inside. Lastly, here are the extras. Thanks for reading. Playability: 8/10 Nice articulation, typical flick fire missiles, ejection seat. Great swooshability for a small vehicle. Design: 9/10 The car design comes together very well. Unusual but functional front wheels. Doesn't feel fragile despite nice detailing. Price: 7/10 Average price per piece, I think this would be better at $25 despite quite a few trans pieces. Now is the time to get it on clearance. Minifigures: 8/10 Soloman is classy but not too exciting, Infearno is excellent. Parts: 7/10 Good amount of trans bricks, there are 1x2 trans light blue used that could have been simply dark bley. Total: 39/50 Solid build, good design, I'm tempted to pick up more Ultra Agents sets. Edited March 4, 2015 by Vorkosigan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kinggregus Posted March 4, 2015 Great Review for a very neat set. The quality of your pictures is outstanding. I could not agree more with your score at the end. At first I thought it was a bit harsh but then, after reading your comments, it makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bricknblue Posted March 8, 2015 I bought this set from Target a few weeks back for 30% off. Still need to build it, I haven't yet because if I run out of money or move I'm going to have to return it. I bought the three smallest sets and so far I'm really liking the agents vehicles a lot and pan on getting the Tron bike. I've really glad LEGO has made a bunch of shooting things as I have been building older sets and the flick missiles have been really annoying to me. These new missiles seem to fit into sets a lot better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted March 11, 2015 Fine review, thanks. To me, the car design is outstanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amset-Rah Posted March 12, 2015 Got this on Amazon for about $22. Astounding set, the car has kind of a futuristic Batmobile/Tron mashup design and Infearno is an awesome minifigure to have, but then again so is Blaze. Tons of useful pieces too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

___ Posted March 12, 2015 that agent's vehicle design is simply outstanding, perfect (tho the wheels-turned-engines concept was used years ago in "Maximal Security" set from Space Police lll)...and I am quite jealous that this was not in my beloved SPACE theme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I built the set and thought the same thing! It's Tron's Batmobile. It's really nice. Before I built it I thought it would be really weird looking or awkwardly large, it's the perfect size and looks amazing. I'm leaving it on display for a bit.
