Mr Greeble Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I think we might have already gotten a name in the set list, but I like Lightgeist as well! Quote
PenPlays Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) I think we might have already gotten a name in the set list, but I like Lightgeist as well! His name is Ultrasonic, apparently. He's the Summer wave villain I'm most excited for. Edited January 10, 2015 by Penkid11 Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 We don't know if Ultrasonic is a villain name or an adjective, or which one it refers to (though lightning dude is more likely). Though three sets seems to indicate that there are at least three new villains, or more than one returning villain. I can't imagine that the new HQ includes only one villain to fight. It doesn't look like there'd be enough room in the set budget (assuming it's the same price as the truck) to create a substantial villain vehicle, either, though two evil figs could be possible. It's mostly speculation at this point, though, going off of three images from the video and set names. Quote
Mr Greeble Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Well... since retox wasn't in the picture with all the bad guys, I think we can count on some henchmen for these guys. Especially because that guy with the orange-ish helmet looks a lot like a villain from the old agents who had loads of henchmen! Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 LOTR34, they are not being lazy, the back of the helmet is transparent therefore the second face would be seen from behind. Quote
Pulp Detective Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 LOTR34, they are not being lazy, the back of the helmet is transparent therefore the second face would be seen from behind. Well I thought that might be the case for not having a second expression,any way thanks for letting me know. Quote
BrickSev Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I just can't wait for these sets! I'm surprised by how much Drillex and his tank have grown on me; Diamond Job went from my least favorite to a priority set! EDIT: Just rewatched Intel D, was it mentioned that the purple-eyed robot shark seen on Taobao is confirmed for the Hideout? I noticed it swim by. We knew it would be AntiMatter's guardian, but the video just confirmed the set it's in. I'm intrigued by the grey-faced, orange-helmeted villain. There's really nothing indicative of his theme, unlike the lightning guy (who I have privately taken to calling Lightgeist due to his ghoulish face and electric theme). Is "Diamond Job" such a wonderful set? The first time I saw it was indeed my least favorite but it's not uncommon for official Lego photos to not make justice to certain sets Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I saw the first pictures and thought the set and villain were meh. But seeing the high quality pics on the S@H site, I really want it now. I just have to see the drills in action to convince me whether or not it's one of the first I buy. Quote

I just have to see the drills in action to convince me whether or not it's one of the first I buy. I have to say the more I look at UA sets the more I start the theme. I'll re-look at "Diamond Job" set BTW I just started to build 70167 (Invizable Gold Getaway) few minutes ago. I'll try to take some good quality pics to share with the community Quote
8BrickMario Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Just watched a rather amateur review of the set, and from the brief demonstration, the drill rotation looks excellent. These weeks of January are going to be a challenge to wait through. Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 As I said, Drillex Diamond Job is phenomenal! If you can get your hands on it, get it! Fantastic spinning motion and the colours are great as well. Quote

These weeks of January are going to be a challenge to wait through. Interesting. I know I'll end getting more UA sets, I can never stay within the "purchase limits" I place lol In the USA you should get new UA wave on February 1st, right? Time runs quickly so you'll be able to get them soon Quote
Pulp Detective Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I don't get the appeal the drillex set gets,maybe the vehicle is nice but the figs(especially the bad guy)aren't impressive.I'll start saving for the Stealth Patrol set which in my opinion is the best set of this wave. Quote

The bad guy Minifigures does not look impressive. Among all the current wave sets this was the only I "ignored" at first. I'll give a better look. Right now I don't have a role (namely a project that could use it ) for that kind of vehicle. Anyway I built 70167. I took some photo during building and tomorrow I'll try to get more photos with better lighting of the built set, Minifigures included It's a nice set. Nothing breathtaking but I didn't expect it be a breathtaking set. It's enjoyable with a cool futuristic bike, a speeder, a cool villain, gold brick pieces and a safe (it also gives us a spare chain) The speeder has some stability issue. If you want to make it "stand" on its own you can't change the wings position or it will fall. Overall a nice set Quote
Pulp Detective Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Could you take a photo of the agent with his serious expression?? Quote
BrickSev Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Could you take a photo of the agent with his serious expression?? Of course, I plan to take photos of the Minifigures from all angles, with all "options" (sides of the headpieces, accessories etc) I'll try to do asap Quote
Mr Greeble Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Okay, can someone with the new sets please test this theory? Do the app bricks work if you put them in a configuration that they were not in originally? For instance, If you took two app bricks from another set, and, let's say, put them together with a spider on top (the spyclops configuration). Would the scanner on the app be fooled? Edited January 10, 2015 by Mr Greeble Quote
obsidianheart Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Or, if you took App Bricks from 2 sets, and combined them into the configuration of a 3rd larger set, would the App figure it out? Quote

I seriously doubt anything but the configuration matters. You probably don't even have to add the spider on top—only the position of the app bricks relative to each other could possibly be read by the device given how the app bricks function in the first place.

Mr Greeble Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 That's what I thought, but the whole reason for these app bricks is an incentive for kids to buy all the sets! Why would lego design the app to be so easily fooled? Quote
DuckBricks Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 That's what I thought, but the whole reason for these app bricks is an incentive for kids to buy all the sets! Why would lego design the app to be so easily fooled? Huh, wouldn't have thought of that.... Also, app bricks only work in tablets :(. I downloaded the new app on my phone, and it mentioned that the bricksare only for tablets... Do kids know about this before buying the sets? Quote
obsidianheart Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Do kids know about this before buying the sets? We didn't.... So, no? Quote
DuckBricks Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 We didn't.... So, no? Yeah, I was a bit surprised by that. I can expect Lego to be getting some complaints from parents with unhappy children who can't play as they only have a phone (I have a tablet, so I'm safe, but....) Quote
Mr Greeble Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 By the way, is anyone else surprised at how big of an antagonist Spyclops was? Quote
Pulp Detective Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I got a bad feeling that the 3rd wave will be the last.And this theme has so much potential. Quote
