Pics of the Agents Line

[Brainbox]

Ah yes, I remember now. How are the wheels and suspension?

The wheels do look a little small, and the suspension isn't quite as springy as the box would have us believe, but neither are bad.

Do you mean a collection on S@h or in a shop?

A S@H collection. Like these, but for Agents obviously.

Hey the Agents site got updated, go check it out!

In the video section, at the very end of the Mission 6 advert, when all the mini-vehicles rush off... how cool is that?

The vehicles section is pretty neat too.

Thanks, because i remember it looked horrible in the photos, but it really doesn't now!

How many gold tiles do you get?

I see, I'm surprised they haven't one, considering this is one of the very few themes I am so getting every set of.

That is pretty cool, I love the revolving vehicle section but I want to see Dr Inferno's vehicles, and know his plan.

Still, I bet a lot of people that this theme will be one of the next Lego games, it's perfect for it!

Batbrick Away!

[Lord Of Pies]

I am going to buy the evil volcano base soon so the mayor of my Legotown has somewhere to live. (Who is coincidently Dr. Inferno)

I have to say though the designers of the Volcano base did a pretty bad job of making it look like a normal volcano......

Agent Chase: Hmmm I wonder which Volcano Dr. Inferno could be hiding in?

Agent Fuse: Perhaps it's the one with the friggin' lazer beam sticking out of it and huge metal door!?

A pretty badly disguised base if you ask me!

[brickzone]

I like the overblown style of the Volcano Base. It is stereotypical of the comic book super-villian to have such an ill-disguised base. Of course it *has* to be a volcano. It *has* to have huge over the top doors. And *of course* he has an insane giant Laser just skulking behind the rock outcrop! Dr. Inferno has his image to live up to!

[Brainbox]

How many gold tiles do you get?

Ten.

Oh, wouldn't that be neat? And we know Agents is continuing next year, so I guess anything's possible.

The public may soon be regretting that decision...

It's also stereotypical of comic books that no-one's noticed it.

I agree with this. Just like the bond movies more I'd say though, how could NO-ONE spot a flipping rocket coming out of a volcano each night!?!

The insanely large laser is really the cherry on top, I love how posable it is.

Ten.

Awesome, thanks! That's better than I thought.

Oh, wouldn't that be neat? And we know Agents is continuing next year, so I guess anything's possible.

I would love that so much, imagine the level where you would infiltrate Dr Inferno's base(s).....

It's also stereotypical of comic books that no-one's noticed it.

"My God! He was in the large building marked "Secret Base" with a gargantuan poster of his face the whole time!"

I finally have the Deep Sea Quest and Volcano Base now, they arrived the other day. Deep Sea Quest is better than the pics let on, the military style boat is awesome, and I love the inferno stickers. Does anyone else love applying the Inferno stickers? Anyhoo, Break Jaw is awesome, I love his face and jaw so much. Slime Face is also very cool, he has a unique sliming torso and his face is more different from a Joker Bomb than you'd expect. The smile is different and if foaming with slime, as is the left eye (his right) that is obscured partially by all the slime. He really is cool. The sub is good too, a strange design sure, but some neat little features. So many good parts too though, given the space it takes up I'll have to see whether it gets demolished when I get the whole theme, though given that a number of vehicles go on water I doubt it, it looks awesome when going up in battle against the boat. Did that help anyhow? I'll answer any questions too?

And of course the volcano Base it "Teh Aesommmes!",the giant laser is a heap of fun, and the base can be made into a volcano with three side by using the clicky joints which hold the sides on. Claw-Dette is brilliant, a nice female torsos, the shiny metal shoulder is a nice touch. Fire Arm has one of the best heads ever, that is totally going to make and appearance in Interactive Apocalypse. Dr Inferno is of course the king though, one of my favourite minifigs ever

Batbrick Away!

[Brainbox]

Awesome, thanks! That's better than I thought.

Eight are visible, and there are two more hidden under the two removable bars.

The sub is good too, a strange design sure, but some neat little features.

I quite like the look of the sub, it's kind of retro.

Good work on the sets though. I really need to get these, they're both just so cool. Great designs, great parts and great figures. What more could you want?

[Batbrick]

Eight are visible, and there are two more hidden under the two removable bars.

Very nice! Especially considering you'd expect TLC to cop out and make the only gold tiles visible.

I quite like the look of the sub, it's kind of retro.

Oh the more I have it the more i don't want to trash it. It really grows on you, as you say that retro design is co cool and it will make an awesome set up alongside the agents speedboat and jetski, as well as the Inferno boat, sea rig, sharks and octocpus. The bubble at the front doesn't bother either, it really does look quite cool, and the jettisoning mini propeller sub at the back is fun. I just want to see if I can mod it to fit two people in the cockpit.

What more could you want?

Great prices?

Batbrick Away!

[Brainbox]

Yes, that's what I thought. Nice to see they're not as stingy as they used to be.

How well does the treasure chest fit?

Great prices?

Good point.

Missions 3 and 8 turned up in Tesco today. Might have to give in and get Mission 8 when I've got some money. Yes, I know I should get a job, you don't need to tell me Batbrick.

[Batbrick]

Yes, that's what I thought. Nice to see they're not as stingy as they used to be.

I know! It's actually pretty surprising, they often find as many ways as they can to weasel out, but the Agents have so many new parts, rarer colours and a heap of chrome silver and gold

How well does the treasure chest fit?

Quite well, but sort of strange. The way the bulge is built you expect the treasure to fit right up into the back, but that area is taken up by the hidden missiles, so the chest only goes in enough and the claw slides back down. Quite effective once you get it, but annoyingly the piece that holds the treasure in sticks below the sub a little so that when you sit it down the claw sticks up a bit. Despite that, the sub really grows on you, and is much funner to play with and look at than the Aquaraiders ones, which were pretty standard.

Good point.

Though Mission 8 is quite well priced.

Thanks for that. The claw bit at the front. Does it look as much like a face IRL as it does in the pictures?

You need a job.

[brickzone]

I am seriously tempted to get the entire theme. I did pick up the Car chase set on impulse - €60 here (turned out to be a bit rash as I could have got it from UK on ebay buy-it-now for €45). The silver James Bond-style car is probably the single coolest Lego car ever made! Very very stylish. Spyclops helicopter is a bit mad, with no floor for the cockpit so Spyclops can descend out of it spider-like. Spooky. The gate alarm is quite loud indeed for a small brick. Girders and grills are great too!

I agree re: Agents having great colours. I love some of the new Lego colours like Dark Blue (also like Dark Red and Dark Green). The metallic silver bricks in the chase set are fantastic!

[Skinny Boy]

Just got an argos catalog, though its from belfast, they have the Deep sea quest. Has anyone else seen that?

[Batbrick]

Two words: Dark blue.

And orange, orange is a great colour!

Thanks for that. The claw bit at the front. Does it look as much like a face IRL as it does in the pictures?

No, not at all, I think you just see a face in everything, like the volcano base

Okay! Okay! I'll drop it..........when you get a job.

Thanks for the info on the car, sounds absolutely fantastic, how is the ejector seat? Deino didn't like it, what do you think?

Batbrick Away!

[Brainbox]

What does it actually sound like? Besides a siren, I mean.

Just got an argos catalog, though its from belfast, they have the Deep sea quest. Has anyone else seen that?

Yeah, but it's £5 over-priced in comparison to S@H.

And orange, orange is a great colour!

Yes, of course. But then that would have been four words.

[brickzone]

The Car ejector seat is great IMO, but I've only manually set it off (push in the front panel) as I don't really want to go crashing my shiney new sports car :) It works well as far as I'm concerned, the passenger flys right out (albeit not very far, but out of the car nevertheless). I like the missiles which are hidden in the back, and can be raised by turning the cylinder on the rear of the car. I wouldn't like to be sitting in front of them like the people in the car do though (when the missiles are hidden). A pity you have to manually close the hatch again.

The siren is like a klaxon, quite loud and echoy (if that makes sense). Would suit e.g. an evacuation alarm, or missile silo fire sequence alarm, or somesuch.

Yeah, but it's £5 over-priced in comparison to S@H.

Only €5 extra here in Ireland - Argos' typical UK retailer rough and ready conversion from £ to € working in our favour this time. However, although I was slightly tempted when passing Argos today, this set is not an immediate must have for me. It's entirely possible Argos would have Lego on sale at some stage in the future again, so it might be worthwhile for me to hold off on it (alternatively I will probably be ordering from S@H at some stage in the future, e.g. some future S@H exclusive similar to CC, MS, GG).

Thanks, I'm glad it works, as I love that function idea. The missiles sound cool too, I had forgotten about those.

Does it go "rooooooooor roooooooor" like a air raid siren, or just "rooooooooooooor" in one go?

Guys are I have INCREDIABLE news

On the cover and the actual LEGO Agents Gadget (poorly made) Pen there are Three unknown characters

One of them has a Saw Fist/Gold Tooth in orange and is wearing Night-vision goggles and wields a light grey gun.

The second has a hair not looking dissimilar to the grey one found in with the new pirates in Charge brown and a normal looking face. He has a bley gun.

The Last also has a normal face but with a 'criminal cap', and most intrestingly a hand-held Grapple gun .

Also can i mention none of them have Agents uniform they look more like combat jackets (much MUCH cooler and great for army and S.W.A.T builders).

Prototypes or the Next-Generation of LEGO Agents?

Also i got Gold Hunt, Great set i love the jet, though my Gold Tooth face was damaged.

[Skinny Boy]

Pencoin: Any pics? Thats kinda weird, though they sound good.

I'd imagine they'd be very... careful... when... moving...

Nice, thanks. I may not keep the gate up when I get this set, so I might have to find an excuse to use the siren elsewhere.

I think it's unlikely that TLG would announce future figures in such a way, but I guess you never know. Like Skinny Boy said, some pictures wouldn't go amiss if possible.

Sounds cool, hope to see it soon. I too doubt like BB1 that these are new figs, but you never know. Why don;t you borrow a family member's camera then like your mum's or something? Could be fruitful.

I'd imagine they'd be very... careful... when... moving...

Can you imagine flipping the car and rolling it upside down?

Nice, thanks. I may not keep the gate up when I get this set, so I might have to find an excuse to use the siren elsewhere.

I'll use mine for Arkham Asylum when I revamp it, it'd be awesome for a Knightfall set up.

That was bit weird in retrospect...
