DuckBricks Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I would. :P (If it isn't recorded with a Webcam or something) Oh, of course not, I have an app for screen recording. I assume you only care for the comics, not the games? Quote

Blargh9 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Ordered Antimatter's Portal Hideout to help fulfill the Winter Soldier Promotion. Can't wait to set up a display of the Ocean HQ assaulting it! Quote
8BrickMario Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 A nice dynamic dispay option would be for the HQ's grappling hook to be attached to the Portal Hideout. Quote

Kalhiki Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Got my last Wave 2 sets at the Lego Store today, namely the 4x4 and Spyclops. Still need to build them, but once I do, I'll give my thoughts. This also means I'm all caught up on this line. Just need to get the last three sets, and I'll have the complete collection (they had the new sets, I just didn't pick any up). It's kinda weird, now that I think about it. When the line started, I figured I'd just pick up a few sets, and now I ended up collecting the whole lot. Glad I did. UA has been quite the theme. Quote
Kalhiki Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Sorry for the double post, but I finished building the sets I got. Spyclops... I'll be honest, I hate this set. I don't really mind 'cuz it was cheap, and I'm going completionist anyway. But something about it, I just don't like. The model has zero articulation aside from spinning around, and the cannon nearly hits the ground (would have preferred it higher up). I mean, I would be find spending an extra couple bucks if they just gave the legs some Mixels balljoints to give it some articulation. Maybe I'll do that. And I don't think the minifigs are too great either... The 4x4, though. Now this is cool. A great mech and a great truck. I'm tempted to order the pieces for the mech in different colors just so I have a little army of them them. The truck is cool. Happy with the suspension and that the line launcher actually works (afraid it was going to get tangled or something). And the fact that it can seat two is even better. Plus, the app brick thingy can stick to the bottom back of the 4x4 for storage. I love it when you can store things. Oh, and the dog. I love this dog. So yeah. 4x4 is great. UA has been a knockout line, with Spyclops being really the only dud in my eyes. I'm kinda sad that this most recent wave is the end. :( Quote
DuckBricks Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Yes. It should be ready by Tuesday, sorry as I've been busy. Quote
Drucker Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 It should be ready by Tuesday, sorry as I've been busy. No problem. At least I know when to expect it now. Quote
DuckBricks Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) No problem. At least I know when to expect it now. Sorry this is late, but here they are: Mission 6: Mission 7: Mission 8: Did you want the previous ones too or are these good? These cover the summer wave... Edited June 10, 2015 by legozebra Quote
Drucker Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Did you want the previous ones too or are these good? These cover the summer wave... The Missions of the first two Waves were Uploaded to youtube a while ago. So I only needed the 3 2015 Summer Missions. Thanks a lot! Edited June 10, 2015 by Drucker Quote
LegendsOfNinjago Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Hey jsut bought the Invizable Gold Getaway. I'd say it's alright, it's good price per piece count, but the bike seems a bitt clunky. I like the safe and Invizable ( because he was in Ninjago), nice parts otherwise. 3 out of 5 Quote

Drucker Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks to Ebay i got the Ultrasonic Showdown today. And I love the Evil Brainstein Minifigure! He probably is my Favorite UA Villain Minifigure. The App Brick Drone is a nice extra and a far better idea, then making a completely useless structure only to somehow introduce the App Bricks. The Jet itself looks Really good. The Giant Cannons are weird at first, but when I unplug them, the Jet looks kinda boring, The turbine with the two Tail Fins is Higher the everything else on the Jet, but that matches with the Cannons. I'm happy that i can attach the Gun to the Jet. The Ultra Agents line is trying to look Futuristic and smooth, but it's hard to make a Jets more Smooth then usual. But it looks kinda Futuristic. The thing most People have a problem with is the Hole in the middle. To me, the Jet looks like it could do that, because of the Hole: And even know it can't, I like it. I think that was Everything. statement: $20 for the Cheapest UA Set of this Wave and it is Awesome! Edited June 11, 2015 by Drucker Quote

I think I could even buy a couple of them and create a small unit of these amazing aircrafts. Thanks for sharing the pic Quote
SMC Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 The fact that Lego are selling off all the sets online cant be a good sign that the UK will ever get the new wave. Quote
ReZourceman Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I called customer service UK yesterday. They said the original plan was to release them in June, but at the moment they're not going for sale. She seemed to indicate that they DO plan to release them but she didn't have any update on it as there were no notes on that section unfortunately. Doesn't sound great, but at least it appears they might plan to sell them. I too am concerned that they are selling them off though......that ship is one of the best looking sets in a good long while. :( Quote

I had a bad feeling when I saw all the theme on discount. However I guess they already manufactured those sets so it won't hurt for them to put in the market, hopefully Quote
Drucker Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) I looked in the German and English Lego catalog for this Summer (http://catalogs.lego.../de_de/2HY2015/ http://catalogs.lego...15/aus_2hy2015/) and neither of them had the new sets. :C Edited June 28, 2015 by Drucker Quote
jonwil Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 The new sets aren't comming to Australia either. Looks like LEGO have decided to bypass the entire EU distribution chain (which services Australia as well as the EU) including (it seems) Shop @ Home for the EU markets. Quote
TheOneVeyronian Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 This is not good news, it looks like the sets are cancelled in Europe (and Australia) for good - I'm going to have to ask someone to import the bits I'm interested in from the States now, because ongoing problems with BnP also means none of the pieces exclusive to the new UA sets are available, so that doesn't work. The shark (the bit I want most of all) is only £2.75 on Bricklink, which is very cheap, the problem there is nobody is selling it, and when they do come for sale, they're all gone before I'm even notified by email! Will somebody on here be nice enough to help me out with getting me a shark from the Antimatter set at the very least? Question is: why were these sets pulled from the UK though? Everybody I talked to complimented the line and said it sold reasonably well, so is it really a case of a few countries in Europe where they didn't sell too well perhaps, which then ruins the party for everybody? Well, I guess only LEGO knows, and they usually won't tell us why so the best we can do is guess. Quote
JasonEffex Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) This is not good news, it looks like the sets are cancelled in Europe (and Australia) for good. I'm still hoping they're not (probably wishful thinking though), and are just pushed back to August. I did manage to get to my nearest Lego store recently, to find absolutely no Ultra Agents sets on the shelves. When I asked why, the member of staff said that with all the new releases for June, there wasn't enough room in the store, but they still had some sets in the back (this was the same for the latest Hobbit sets). I'd like to think that because of this, it would make sense for Lego to not release UA alongside everything else this summer, (almost every other theme has had it's summer release here in the UK), and wait until there is less sets on the shelves for the theme to compete with (again, probably just wishful thinking). Something that would baffle me if they weren't released though, would be the fact that they were shown at both London and Nuremberg toy fairs, whereas last year, when the Chima ultrabuilds were cancelled in the US, they weren't shown at New York. The Chi ultrabuilds, I mean, not UA. Edited June 29, 2015 by JasonEffex Quote
