The Chosen Minifigure Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 It is out on the App Store, I just downloaded it and played it all, got 100%, 3 stars in all games, and the nice surprise of ALTERNATE INSTRUCTIONS FOR EACH SET!!! Yep. Definitely worth getting. If you need any help with anything, just ask. Oh, and a tip: look at your tools: if they have a Red glow, use another tool. Quote
8BrickMario Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Sometimes I can't pull out tools for an entire mission! How are the alternate builds? Quote
Fritzy Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Alternate builds too? I look forward to seeing them! Quote

Yep. Definitely worth getting. If you need any help with anything, just ask. Oh, and a tip: look at your tools: if they have a Red glow, use another tool. Thank you for the information! Sounds like a quick and easy game, which seems a little disappointing to me compared to it's Agents predecessor on the LEGO website. I'll look into it before reviewing the sets! Quote
Mutant Orc Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Hmm. Whenever I hear 'mysterious holographic hooded figure' I immediately think of Darth Sidious/Palpatine from the Prequel Star Wars trilogy... It would be very nice to get a second wave. There are only two or three smaller sets that I like from this wave, but I like the idea of having another wave of sets. Quote
The Chosen Minifigure Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Sometimes I can't pull out tools for an entire mission! How are the alternate builds? A hover thingy for riverside raid, Goodies. A turret for tremor track, Baddies An AWESOME miniplane for Infearno interception, Goodies. A kind of jet for toxxita, this is the best alternate, Baddies. A car for Hurricane heist, Baddies. A kinda dumb miniplane for Hq. Goodies. Quote
robuko Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Just back from the semi annual scrum of set launches at TRU HK. It gets pretty hectic as its full of scalpers bulk buying to real in China. Ultra agents absolutely flying off the shelves, all sold out in 5 minutes. Problem compounded by TRU making this the big H2 launch but not carrying much inventory. I think TRU expected to sell a lot of super heroes and Chima but they were sticking to the shelves. 6 months ago nothing was selling out, 12 months ago was all about super heroes, and 18 months ago the hit was ninja go. So my conclusion is, there is a potential hit line here. I love the truck concept but it would be a lot cooler if the cab was a giant transforming robot Quote
8BrickMario Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I would be very disappointed if there wasn't at least a second wave that resolves the plot. Quote
TheRedGuy Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Played through the very cheesy game. The alternate builds are meh, and so are the games. Although I quite liked the story with the purple stuff and the hooded dude. Quote
Kalhiki Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Got the Tremor set the other day. Haven't built it yet, but I'm excited to do so. I think this is going to be one of the rare themes where I get (or attempt to, anyway) all the sets. They're all just so good. Quote
sithewok Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Still haven't seen any of these sets in store yet. Hopefully soon... Quote
jm28cardiff Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Bought infearno interception today, amazing! Like a Blade Runner spinner crossed with Tron. Quote
TheBrickHitHouse Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Anyone else getting a Metal Gear vibe from Psyclone's flying machine when it's in walking mode? Pretty sure the guys helmet owes a bit of inspiration to the 80's cartoon MASK too. Well...it got my money Edited June 2, 2014 by TheBrickHitHouse Quote
Faefrost Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I love the truck concept but it would be a lot cooler if the cab was a giant transforming robot Well yeah! Everything is cooler when it's a giant transforming robot. Unless it's a giant fire breathing lizard. Ok a giant transforming robot punching out a giant fire breathing lizard would still be cooler. The truck is a great set. Not quite to the levels of some other classic Tom Stafford Mobile HQ's like the original or the amazing Alien Conquest one. But still a fantastic set. I think the Infearno set is the best of the line. Great villain and that strange Blade Runner/Tron car is far more entertaining then I would have thought. Quote
Endgame Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Personally, I prefer this Mission HQ to the Alien Conquest one, both of which I currently own. It has a better cab, better villain, and I think the foldout feature is more entertaining than flipping open the roof of the back side. (the Alien Conquest set was still amazing, however.) Quote
8BrickMario Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I too got Interception, and it's fantastic! Infearno is even better in person, and the car is great, too. The only problem with it is that the front wheels (brick-built cores with roatating hubs) don't roll, since the hubs are about the same size as the cores. Quote
Mutant Orc Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Personally, I prefer this Mission HQ to the Alien Conquest one, both of which I currently own. It has a better cab, better villain, and I think the foldout feature is more entertaining than flipping open the roof of the back side. (the Alien Conquest set was still amazing, however.) Well, I don't have this new truck, but I loved the AC truck!!! One of my favorite sets for play value, and I think from the photos, that it visually looks better than this Agents truck... Are there any reviews for theses Agents sets? They'd help me decide.... Quote
Agent Fusion Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Ultra Agents site is up and running. http://www.lego.com/en-gb/ultraagents?icmp=COUKFRUltraAgents Quote
8BrickMario Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 The Astor City map doesn't let me click on any of the sections. Quote
Fritzy Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 It works for me. I was hoping the site would list the alternate builds, but it looks like you can only access them through the app. :/ Quote
Kalhiki Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I can't use the map either. :/ On a positive note, I got the Toxikita set today. Much much better than I anticipated. And Toxikita. <3 Quote
8BrickMario Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Try accessing the UA site from the Products page and going to the map. It worked for me that way, oddly enough. Sort of cheesy how the danger level is listed as "code red" (no period/full stop after it) for each area. Edited June 4, 2014 by 8BrickMario Quote
Agent Fusion Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Nope, map still not working. Can someone post screenshots? Quote
Lego Spy Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I got Tremor Track Infiltration the other day, and I'm actually really happy with it. There were a lot of pieces that I didn't realize the set even had! Quote
