One interesting LEGO theme coming out this summer is LEGO Ultra Agents, which supposed to be a continuation of the previous LEGO Agents theme from 2008/9. We have talked about the sets before when they were first revealed at the toy fairs earlier this year, however now that official set pictures have been posted by Amazon, it is worth discussing them again. 🙂
There are so many pictures that I won’t post all of them here, however I will give you a list of the upcoming sets, as well as the video news-report from the BrickShow with the other pictures. So let’s take a look!

I personally really liked the first wave of the LEGO Agents sets. It had a really sweet color-scheme of dark-blue and yellow for the good guys and orange and black for the bad guys. The vehicles were excellent and there was a lot of play-value in each of the sets. The new LEGO Ultra Agents seem a bit confusing to me. The black and trans-blue vehicles are nice, but some of the other sets don’t seem to belong to the theme at all and more look like something out of LEGO Legends of Chima…
What do you think? How do you like the LEGO Ultra Agents sets? Do you have a favorite? Is this a theme you are looking forward to, or are you planning to pass? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 😉
