Robert8 Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) I not sure if I like the way they made the brain.... It looks like something else. A piece directly attached to the head would have been better, IMO. Something like this one: Edited May 23, 2015 by Robert8 Quote
Blargh9 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I just impulse bought some rarer marvel figures (Iron patriot, Iron Fist, and Deadpool), so I kinda dented my ultra agents budget a bit and will have to wait to refill :/ Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 still dind let me buy the sets at TRU...I even talked to.tje manager Quote

Do that when you go back, and if you aren't successful... REPORT THEM! Even ask them for the number of their district manager. If you ask calmly, you have effectively threatened them of their job, which, due to this kind of service is very well justified. They might just give in. If they don't, call the hotline in the link I gave you and ask for the number of the district manager for your store. Then kindly lay down the law. Edited May 24, 2015 by Penkid11 Quote
8BrickMario Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 That's so strange. My LEGO Store was selling more summer sets than the retailers who had previously been notorious for putting them out early...Perhaps LEGO finally scared retailers out of pushing the street date? Yesterday, I also got the Spyclops set. It's incredibly substantial for a $10 set, although it sacrifices playability for size. Spyclops himself is neat, and it's nice how his spray bottle plugs into his back while driving the mech. Now to collect the rest. Quote

I'll admit, having worked in customer service myself, I really try to not push too hard to the point where I make there job difficult. I'm doing it through Store-Pickup, and I'll just slyly smile at the guy who is always there. ;) Quote
just2good Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) Alright, here's my look into the Ultrasonic set. I love this set! Dr. Brainstein is AMAZING, there's some nice new moulds for his helmet and he has some scary face printing! Also, the jet is a very cool and unique build! I love the use of the 45° plates used with the wings, and the slick black-transblue color scheme is dope. All for $20! Edited May 24, 2015 by just2good Quote
8BrickMario Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 You did a pretty good job on your own review. I agree that it's great, but I wouldn't be quite so ready to give it an A+. I hate that stupid useless hole in the back and wish it and the jumper tiles served a purpose or that the hole was was covered up. The gaps in the side panels of the cockpit annoy me as well, and so does the sudden prominence of white in the vehicle color scheme. All of the other Agent vehicles have minimal white parts, so the stripes look out of place. Still, the evil Professor is fantastic (although the jet booster falls off a lot), and the overall build looks nice, so I'm very pleased with my purchase. Now to get that Ocean HQ... Quote

How I see it is the Ultra Agents weapons are mostly white. Now, the big rapid fire stud shooters are white, so it makes sense to include the white tiles/plates to add some white to the vehicle, or else the big rapid fire shooters will look totally out of place. They're weapons mounted on the vehicle, after all. Quote
Cagast Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 This jet seemed just meh when I first looked at it, but actually it's very unique. Brainstein's helmet is amazing too! Quote
TheOneVeyronian Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 I really like Brainstein, it just screams mad evil scientist to me. And I really wasn't expecting the brain to be transparent pink either! That adds another minifigure to my ever-growing wanted list. So, it's definitely a Technic ball joint, what I suspected all along? It looks like the jet is a satisfying build but I'm not a massive fan of it's overall design. Especially the big gap in the middle. Now I really hope the UK gets these, I want at the very least parts from all three Quote
8BrickMario Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Alright. I've solved my problem with the hole in the jet. I simply altered the drone. I put trans-light-blue studs where the cheese slopes were, and moved the slopes down to where the Appbricks were. (Can't use them, anyway.) Now, I can push down on the drone and it will be properly dropped from the hole below it, since it fits through. Quote
Drucker Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) I Searched for the Sets on Random German Online Shops and found one possible information: Apparently, the sets are going to be released on July 23rd (in Germany). So maybe they will also be released in the rest of Europe at a similar time! (The side: http://www.familiens...schall-Showdown ) Edited May 25, 2015 by Drucker Quote
elederberg Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 So are people thinking that this is the last wave of Ultra Agents? I would understand if it was I would just be really bummed Quote
Kalhiki Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 So are people thinking that this is the last wave of Ultra Agents? I would understand if it was I would just be really bummed Seems like that's the case. Main villain's lair, a big Agents boat/HQ. Definitely seems like it's the final showdown. And agreed. Pretty sad that this is the end. Don't think I've been so hyped up on a theme since... Power Miners maybe? It's been a fun ride, regardless. Quote

Pretty sad that this is the end. Don't think I've been so hyped up on a theme since... Power Miners maybe? It's been a fun ride, regardless. I'd say that there is a 75% chance that this is the end of the line. And from what I have seen, it's going out on a high note! However, there is a small chance that it might get another wave of sets. I assume that Lego spent a lot of resources developing the interactive app and the app bricks. They may want to give it one more go with another wave of sets before they take those app bricks and start to apply them to other lines (I could see them working well with Ninjago). That way, if they want to experiment with them further, they can do it with a line they have already developed. If (and I admit, it's a big if) UA gets another wave, I can see them introducing a new set of villains. One way to perhaps get a hint would be to play out the mission on the app for the Ocean HQ/Portal Hideout. If there is a cliffhanger ending, then we might get another wave! But yeah, I'm also pretty sure that this is the last wave. Quote
BrickBuilder3213 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 So, every theme has had their Summer sets released, with the exception of Bionicle (which is due in August) and Ultra Agents in the UK. Weren't these sets due to be released by now, from using the app's June update as a guide? Surely, Ultra Agents MUST be getting a Summer wave release, despite the rumors of bad sales... ...Right? ;-; Quote
8BrickMario Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) But in the US, we haven't gotten Friends, DC Super Heroes yet. But we have the new Agents sets. I hope they're available over there, since I can't see why they'd be unpopular, and it's unfair for these great sets to not be sold in the UK. Edited June 1, 2015 by 8BrickMario Quote
Aanchir Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 So, every theme has had their Summer sets released, with the exception of Bionicle (which is due in August) and Ultra Agents in the UK. Not quite. The summer Friends and Elves sets aren't yet out in the U.S., and Scooby-Doo isn't yet out anywhere (it's an August release, same as the summer BIONICLE sets). I don't think summer Technic is out yet in any countries, either. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the U.S. and Europe just swapped the summer Elves and Ultra Agents release dates for some reason.

LegendsOfNinjago Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Still suprised to see the new sets don't have inventory up on B&P yet. I want to buy those windows on the Boat to Restore and rebuild the old Aqua Raiders base. EDIT: B&P has been updated, but the new pieces claim to be Out of Stock. Now we play the wait game. Edited June 1, 2015 by LegendsOfNinjago Quote
8BrickMario Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 After seeing the end of the app, I really want a Morgan Lux polybag! The app gives a vague conclusion that still implies the end of the theme, so there aren't any chances to get Lux. I say this because AntiMatter is turned back into Lux at the end (although he bizarrely has the new uniform), so it would be nice to get him. Quote
DuckBricks Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 This theme was really fun, and it's a shame that it seems that the story has been wrapped up, with all the villains being turned good again... I will miss UA... Quote
DuckBricks Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Is there a video with final app gameplay? Would you like me to make one? Quote
Drucker Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Would you like me to make one? I would. :P (If it isn't recorded with a Webcam or something) Quote
