LEGO Ultra Agents 2014

I keep forgetting to memorize the official set names, so hopefully this makes sense:

I think the green-haired lady is Toxita, and the bowler dude is Retox. In the background of the picture of My Tank is Fists, you can see Greenstuff hanging from a chain, and in the Hosicopter picture below it, there's a chain coming out of the copter.

It could be the lighting, but to me, the guy in the Infearno set looks like he has Light Bley hair when he's standing in the truck.

The green haired girl is indeed Toxikita. The guy with the bowler hat is one of her henchmen.

Vehicle in the Infearno set turns into a hovercraft.

They all look so cool. Can't wait for the weekend where we can get pics of these sets in great detail.

Confirmed: There will probably be an Ultra Agents game where you shoot stuff with a water gun. You heard/read/was-somehow-notified-of it here first.

Also, I bet that by the end of this year the breaking news in all newspapers will be "LEGO made me broke", featuring me, the guy who LEGO made broke because of all of these awesome sets that I want so much!

The problem with this theme is that it is way to vehicle heavy. I think that is why I am liking this theme less and less.

[Sir Brickalot]

Ok, TLG, stop it with your awesome sets making my wallet cry!

This basic sub theme has always been vehicle heavy. Alpha Team and Agents were all mainly vehicles. The only non vehicle sets tended to be the big villain HQ's. Volcano base and Ogel's lairs. And I don't think they were in the initial release waves?

[Tom Jurassic]

Love these sets, ordering a few fleshy heads to make these figures SHIELD Agents for my Marvel display! :D

Vehicle heavy is an accurate description of most LEGO themes these days anyway. Only City has more buildings than vehicles, and that's because buildings are what makes the city. Going by the same logic, what constitutes the secret agent stereotype? Right, silly gadgets and cool cars/other modes of transport.

Well, the lack of an evil lair (another staple of secret agent stories) is somewhat disappointing. But perhaps if this theme continues for another wave, we'll get one? I don't know. Normally I'm all for vehicle-heavy themes, but I do admit I loved the environmental features of the original Agents theme, including the entire Volcano Base but also the roadblock in 8634 Turbocar Chase as well as the floating platform in 8633 Speedboat Rescue.

I'm not all that excited about this theme. With its lack of a unifying theme for the villains it feels more like the 2009 Agents 2.0 than the 2008 Agents sets, which were my favorites due to their overarching narrative. The sets this year are still great, and in a leaner year I'd be all for them, but with amazing lineups for Ninjago, Hero Factory, and The Lego Movie, it's going to be hard to find space in my budget for this theme.

Has anybody seen the picture with Curtis bolt on the quad? He's cool, he has a hologram screen from his helmet coming down.

What do you mean lack of overarching theme for the villains? You have to defeat all the villains of water, fire earth abd air before finally facing the ultimate madman seeking world domination...

I wouldn't put it off so quickly for just that reason quite yet. It's a little too early on to know all the facts on this line. Maybe there is an overarching narrative? Maybe the characters do tie in together? There's already a connection with Galaxy Squad with the Blue Squad leader so maybe more will come from that? We just have such an early start on this line that I wouldn't judge it on just that so far. As for the money argument, that I can completely understand

^ do you know which set do we see the Galaxy Blue leader?

I feel the same that there is too many good theme out at the moment to add this to it when I didn't get the old sets but there are the odd things from some sets that I do really want.

The hq and infearno interception.

The thing that bothers me is that the villains' vehicles don't have any unifying motif. I liked the original Agents where the same orange-and-black color scheme was used for all the villain vehicles and bases. Even if there's something tying these villains together in the story, it's not really being reflected very clearly in the product designs.

[Dr.Cogg]

I think the person who said they remind him of mega man was right

No, is there any chance you could share it? :)

On page 14, with the pictures of the sets, there's a link to a website. Click the link. Scroll down to where all the pictures are. With the other agents stuff, there should be a picture of him on the quad from the hq.

Ps: sorry I couldn't link to the picture, but I don't know how to link to a website on my iPad, and the pictures from it are to big to upload here. If you know how, can you please tell me? Thanks

Will have a look on the site. I am not sure how to do that either. :P Cheers buddy! :D

I guess it's personal taste. The reason why I love the villains so much this time around is because of the lack of unifying motif. Their designs are more unique and can be used for other things as well. When it came to team Inferno, the need for having their logo on the torso limited the use for me. I guess in the end I rather have the Legion of Doom as opposed to Gold Finger's Henchies.

The hq and infearno interception.

Isn't Solomon Blaze (who is the clean-shaven blue squaddie (there are no leaders in Galaxy Squad, by the way) the one with the computer over his eye on the quad? Looking at the grey-haired fellow (Curtis Bolt if I remember correctly), Solomon from Galaxy Squad looks nothing like him, but yet has a striking resemblance to the quad rider. Also by the looks of it, Curtis has a mustache, something that Solomon lacks. However, there may have been some confusion with the other blue squaddie, Max Solarflare, as he does have a mustache.

In J2G's look at the catalogue, Solomon came in the infearno interception, and the guy in that set has gray hair. I thought it was weird too, because I don't think he's in his 60's ;)
