Zzz Posted January 24, 2014 I would have loved to have Exo Force return, which was probably my favorite theme besides Indy and SW in the past 10 years, but I'll definitely take a closer look at the Agents sets once they're out. I liked the volcano set and the giant robot, even if I never got them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Brickalot Posted January 24, 2014 ^ Sure, it would be cool, but we've had so many mechs recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted January 24, 2014 ^ Sure, it would be cool, but we've had so many mechs recently. Yeah, we've had lots of mechs.......so has in a way Haspro.......it's the contest called making money ! It's interesting to note that Lego appear to be kiddy-ifying adult movie/TV themes. Take as a test case Galaxy Squad which could be considered a child friendly version of Starship Troopers. I wonder if the main character will look like a James Bond or not ?

bekindsorewind Posted January 25, 2014 Brickset has been a joke for coverage and reviews for a long time now; I don't even think about going there except for their database. It'll be great when NY Toy Fair comes along so we can get some legitimate looks at the theme and not some vague, biased description that makes it seem like everyone dislikes the Agents theme like the author who wrote it. They sound pretty interesting to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandate Posted January 25, 2014 Indeed, almost all LEGO fansites (other than forums, but even then) have some sort of intensely bad thing going on with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bekindsorewind Posted January 25, 2014 Indeed, almost all LEGO fansites (other than forums, but even then) have some sort of intensely bad thing going on with them. Sad, but true. Especially with these lackluster reports: Some report one theme, "can't remember" all the others. Can we please get somebody with a functional temporal lobe, please? Another reason why I can't wait for NY Toy Fair, where we can just see the pictures for ourselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandate Posted January 25, 2014 I just wish they would at least pay attention to a particular set, if not the entire range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted January 25, 2014 Okay chaps, the topic at hand is the Ultra Agents theme, not poor coverage from other sites. If we'd all get back to the former it would be great. If you want to discuss coverage god or bad I'd suggest a thread over in community or somesuch. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though Ultra Agents doesn't seem like the sort of theme to have mechs, but the original did have some. I guess we'll have to wait until next week. If you want to discuss coverage god... Coverage god?

obsidianheart Posted January 25, 2014 Really hoping the Toxikita whatever set has a female Slime Face with a trans-Neon Green head. It was very difficult to make a team of 6 out of the 3 heads available in that color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted January 25, 2014 Bleh, dyslexia... Still causes problems dontcha know. No, complaining there isn't good enough news coverage got too general in the past few posts so let's just wait on some more information and work with what we do know.

jamesster Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) My judgement shall await more finalized pictures of bigger sets. Impulse sized sets like that can't really give you a good idea of what a theme is like, and the minifigures in these early pics are almost always placeholders made from existing pieces. Still, it's something. Edited January 25, 2014 by jamesster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazing Bricks Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Someone wants a picture? Here it is... http://m.flickr.com/...08/12142371786/ It looks like the agent has a tuxedo in that set. Edited January 26, 2014 by amazingbricks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego Spy Posted January 26, 2014 It looks like the agent has a tuxedo in that set. I think it's probably a sit in, since it's a preliminary. Bleh, dyslexia... Still causes problems dontcha know. Yeah... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoupOrFishOil Posted January 26, 2014 Looks like another Police theme with shinier gadgets and super powered thieves. I'm not going to write this theme off yet though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freddy Bricker Posted January 26, 2014 Thanks for the images J2g and TheLazyChicken! That building looks hideous, but I can get behind that helicopter. I think I also spy a Hazmat suit. And I agree with obsidianheart, I would love for the "Toxixtita" set to include a lead female villain, if that's what he meant by "slime face". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faefrost Posted January 26, 2014 Looks like another Police theme with shinier gadgets and super powered thieves. I'm not going to write this theme off yet though. Well yeah. That's what the original Agents theme basically was. Somewhere halfway between City Police and Batman, with maybe an Agents of Shield undercurrent running through it. The smaller sets were always Agents foiling Inferno robberies, which led to th emedium priced sets which were seeking Inferno plans,a nd finally the larger ones foiling Inferno sinister evil plots of destruction.

Starrocks923 Posted January 26, 2014 I would love to write the script for the LEGO Ultra Agents announcement: "Hey kids, ready to use Grey-zone tactics to defeat the bad guys? Meet the Ultra Agents! Between reading your phone logs and listening to your voice mail messages, the Ultra Agents will do whatever it takes..." I doubt many parents are interested in toys that teach their kids that spying is cool right now...but I'm not a parent. (Yet...) I'm curious if anyone will try to link this theme to (Not so) recent NSA revalations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peppermint_M Posted January 26, 2014 Probably not. Colourful bad guys with thematic names/weapons vs Agents in almost super hero/ power rangers style uniforms will not draw lines into the current polictical problem of guys in suits tapping into phones. Just like how no one links James Bond with real world espionage in any serious way. As it is also board policy to avoid political debates and the arguments and flames they cause could we keep this out of discussion now? Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
