What is the app brick?  Is that similar to the Fusion thing?

Beats me but were I to guess then more than likely.

Maybe a RFID or a NFC chip http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_field_communication

(used in some video games like skylanders)

I'm not a fan of the overall theme but somehow I like way too many elements and minifigure designes that are used in this theme!!!

TLG continues to design, manufacture, and sell sets geared towards children. I find this entire line highly dubious and deeply offensive.

70169 - 4x4 Agent Patrol

I definitely want this set! One reason: the tires. The last time those tires were made in black was in some space sets in the 90's.

Well I'll be. It looks like we are on the same page. Haha. I do miss those tires so it is great to see them make a little comeback. My other favorite feature is the new color for the space armor Toxikita is wearing. Galaxy Patrol was dark blue, Alien Trooper and Space Miner is dark bluish gray, Infearno with red, now here it is in yellow. Perhaps eventually that armor will be available in every classic color. ^_^

It seems like the Ultra Agents sets have some unique pieces. Hopefully they're a good investment in a few years.

Here is a Brickset review on 70167 - Invizable Gold Getaway. (That really is how the set's name is spelled.)

70170 - UltraCopter vs AntiMatter

Whoa that Ultracopter was well done

70169 - Agent Stealth Patrol

Hmmm I really like the green exosuit and toxikita. The dog is cute too.

 

But the vehicule, nice design but I don't like its functions:

- the rope is a poor function

- what if rubber bands broke ? (very likely) I don't like that you have to search for others to replace (like the 9493 x-wing of a friend, received with a broken rubber)

- no transformations ? what a disappointement (I like models which have wheels which can turn or open so the vehicule is supposed to fly)

 

I'll not get this set (for personnal collection) unless I see it with 50% off.

 

BTW I really, really like the helicopter even if I think it's weird that it doesn't have a floor in its middle part. But the inverted propellers ??? Fantastic ! And side reactors can move a little to go on attack mode, that's great.

70167 - Invizable Gold Getaway

70168 - Drillex Diamond Job

 

Ultra Agents

Three new sets will be released in the summer. I must confess that I can't tell you much about them because while the rest of the group were being told about them I was busy recording names and colours of Mixels which I felt to be more important. However, the largest set, 70173 Ocean HQ looked great. It's a sizeable boat, probably 12" or so long. The most impressive thing about it was that it has a brick-built hull. I suspect there are loads of doors and features on it which are typical of Agents sets.

 

Update: (CapnRex101) - The large ship did indeed have a brick-built hull which was quite nicely shaped, with opening hatches reminiscent of those on the original Agents Mobile Command Centre. Other sets included a small, jet flown by an electricity-themed villain and a base for Antimatter, which was based on an oil platform. The purple and black colour scheme looked great, although I generally felt it was a bit insubstantial given that this is the hideout of the ultimate villain.

70166 - Spyclops Infiltration

Poor set. I really don't like the color scheme. Grey and dark red ? Meh...

Hard to figure out that this set is from the UA line, when you put appart minifgs and compare with other sets...

 

Message to the lego designer of this set:

 

You're under arrest.

The set in the front we already know and may already be able to purchase however if you glance towards the back of the display, you can spot something new with a "Jaws" character and shark to match. A bottom for a wicked base looms overhead.

It looks like a big mecha-shark ! Cool...

That shark is awesome! I hope the whole base is a cool set.

The Brickfan has a video of the boat.

 

The box of the boat seems a bit small.

 

Whatever, the boat itself has totally blown my mind. I'm officially addicted to this theme...

 

I can't wait to see Jangbricks review. :-F

I agree that the box looks a little small, but the set is amazing! Lego did a really good job with these Ultra Agents sets.
