biniou Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Some sets are, really, really cool looking. Maybe I will have some for myself. But to invest... I don't know. The "wow it's futuristic and cool" feeling can be found in some of the Lego the movie sets. Looking back to what "space police" did (it reminds me this theme), I think this theme will not worth to invest in (except the iconic largest set, 70165). Other sets may be ok for quick flip but that's all. How sad. I hope I'll be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder how this line would appreciate compared to the original Agents seeing how at least the first wave of those became worthwhile. The overall style for this new breed of 'men in black' is very flashy with a bit of a Tron-esque decorum. The truck is absolutely astounding even if it is a redesign of the original Mobile Command Center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_bricks Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I thinkg these look awesome. This would be some good subject matter for a cartoon, if they were going to try and promote it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Erf, I didn't knew that this theme already existed, I thought it was a new one. The basic concept is roughly the same more or less; just the heroes and villians in particular have changed. The only thing here that carried over from the original Agents over to these Ultra Agents is basically the command truck as I pointed out while everything else is very much new really. You could easily tell the difference between these new guys on the force and the veterans from the prior squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenplays Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 While this theme looks nice... I'm disappointed with the HQ Truck. I had really hoped the black was brick, instead of technic, want to make a passenger carriage for my Ghost Train, but sadly it's technic... I'll still buy it though, just a bit disappointing.

Full Tilt Bricks Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I hadn't seen these until now. The Inferno one looks really cool. I also like the HQ and Hurricane ones. The rest of the line isn't too interesting to me, but it'd be a nice change of pace from some of the other themes already out. I'll get some of those if only for myself. I'm really diggin the reverse canopy set up and silhouette on that inferno one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@rtisan Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The suit on the guy in 70160 is excellent. I love that the designer was able to incorporate a bit of a curve/sway in the jacket, rather then just straight. Excited for these to be released!

hobbycrafter Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 http://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/252ve4/ultra_agents_in_toys_r_us_as_well_as_new_ninjago/ This is the second early set release leak report I've seen on the internet so far. I don't believe this is going to be a very good investment, but according to the NY Toy Fair press release guide these aren't supposed to be out until AUGUST. There are 8 listing on ebay right now, 7 from Japan and one US one that looks more than suspicious. Point is, if you're INCREDIBLY lucky, check your local TRU, and you might just have a prime quick flip opportunity right now. The only ebay listing that has sold from Ultra Agents is the Inferno Interception, which I also honestly think is the best looking set of this theme so far, so if you get lucky and find it this would probably be the one to get. Sold as a BIN @ $98, guide says it's $40 US retail. Good luck, do tell if y'all find any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biniou Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Reading your message, I though "It will follow the same fate as galaxy squad: a theme that I really love, but for some reasons, not a good investment". And then, what do I see on your picture ? Shelves with galaxy squad sets side by side with ultra agents sets. Call that a sign... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Tilt Bricks Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I really like the Command HQ truck... but thats it..... It looks like it will be a good set to part out to. I assume, since I don't do that, I could be wrong. But there's plenty of stuff there. Truck, mech, boat. Pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redghostx Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I really like the Command HQ truck... but thats it..... Based on sales of the current HQ set, there is money to be made on the new one when purchased at a discount. I just sold a used one that I found in a CL lot for $125 so I will be getting some of the new of the new one (nearer EOL) depending on the price point.

Noodlenut Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Just saw 71063 at my Walmart. I thought about parting it out, but need to save for the Ecto-1 tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holleman67 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I wonder the parting out margins for this.line is? I flipped.the hq but stayed away from parting that out. Instead I focused on xmen and gotg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Riverside Raid Tremor Track Infiltration Infearno Interception Toxikita's Toxic Meltdown Hurricane Heist Mission HQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Here are two reviews courtesy of New Elementary. First is Toxikita's Toxic Meltdown followed by Infearno's Interception. Although I still haven't quite figured out how to pronounce Toxikita's name properly, she is one badass babe perfect for a cyberpunk setting and Infearno's red suit finally gives us a chance to create an army of red space marines just like that Space Marines/Space Troopers CUUSOO project which unfortunately failed. Anyway I'm hoping I can find a handful of the Infearno set at a discount just to get that suit plus the parts selection looks fantastic as well.

Locutus001 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I really need some advice on this one: The HQ Truck... to buy or not to buy that's the question? I mean I think it's really awesome! But I guess there are just lots of other good Sets (non ultraagent sets) that are safer and even better. On the other hand it might be that this one comes as suprice later on... did anybody have the same troubles deciding on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand it might be that this one comes as suprice later on... did anybody have the same troubles deciding on it? Totally depends on the discount for me. I think Walmart, here in the US, screwed up the price and sold these for $70. I would have tried for a Christmas flip at that price and just kept for personal collection if it didn't sell. I wasn't able to get one though. I would not buy for investment at retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biniou Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 My little finger tells me that this theme will be highly discounted on january/february, like Galaxy squad, Atlantis, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
