Hapori Tohu Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The Toy Fair 2015 coverage continues, and now we're focusing on Legends of Chima and Ultra Agents, two returning themes that have been fairly popular. Both have a number of new sets in two waves with lots of cool characters and vehicles. To check out what LEGO is giving us rabid fans, continue on!

Jobber Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The Ultra Agents sets are honestly really cool. I'd start my system collection off with these if I could, but I barely have enough room in my room for Bionicle as it is. D'X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-14 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 That ultra agents boat looks super cool, but... "99 USD, 199 CAD"... I don't think that Canadian Dollar is THAT bad right now, is it? That's a crazy inflation for one set O_o 1 Quote BZPRPG: Akamu, Toa of Ice Talk to me about Destiny!

Nescent Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 A couple of those Ultra Agents sets really remind me of Alpha Team! Particularly the underwater Headquarters and Ocean HQ. The Chima sets are nice looking as well, especially the Ice Fortress and the Phoenix, although the three-wheeled guy doesn't look so great I think.

Lyichir Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The Ultra Agents sets look cool. The helicopter is slightly less impressive than the original Agents Helicopter, but it gets a lot of points for being the first coaxial helicopter ever produced as a Lego set! And the summer sets are great too—Antimatter's base may be small but it looks distinctive, and the boat set is just incredible, with a spectacular brick-built hull. Also, one part in particular stands out to me, and I'll have to either get a set that includes it or order some off Bricklink. That would be the "axe blades" on Antimatter's staff, which look like they'd be a great match for the similar ones from 2015 Lewa and Gali, but at minifigure scale. Part of me holds out hope that we might get official Bionicle minifigs that resemble the Toa's new basic appearances at some point (the "mini-hero" arms and legs would work just as well for Bionicle as they did for HF), but until then it'd be nice to at least have some tiny weapons to mess around with.

Ford Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) I was never really that into Chima, but if this is the last year for the theme, I feel like they could have done something different than the whole fire and ice thing. It's kind of getting old. Ultra Agents sets look great though. Too bad I have no room for them in my collection.

That's a crazy inflation for one set O_oI believe the correct price is $119.99, but I'll have to double-check this evening when I have the press guide in front of me. The information for each set has to be transcribed by hand, so I'm impressed that's the only mistake anyone has caught so far! 3 Quote Bio of a BZP Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacks Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 That Ultra-copter looks like a sleeker, scaled-down version of the Dino Attack T-1 Typhoon, and I am so into it.

fishers64 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Can't say I'm a fan of Chima - washout overuse is washout overuse. And the Ultra Agents theme looks like they took all of the parts Lego had left over after making the other themes and decided to make...that. Some of the vehicles look like wackadoodle recolored Tron. I really like the boat though, and given its price, it is a decent price for a boat. If I had the money, I think it would be a good investment. Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting and cool how two Ultra Agents sets this wave use the same turntable piece to create less standard gear motion (the copter and SkDrillex). When i saw that blade piece, the first thing I thought of was Gresh's weapons. They sort of look like the axe/fin pieces too, but I feel like they also look like another piece that for some reason I can't think of at the moment (and it's bothering me, rrrgh).

Toa Smoke Monster Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The Chima sets look interesting, I guess. But I won't be getting any of them. The Ultra Agent sets look really good though, especially the one with the robotic shark. That looked really cool. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

It may very well be that piece but this will keep bothering me until I give up or find the mythical mystical piece I'm thinking of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballom Nom Nom Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Now we just need to combine the cyborg-shark with the ones with freaking laser beams to have the ultimate supervillain pet! Also, the launcher with the stacked played reminds me of the Exo-Force disk shooters, for some reason. It's also little weird seeing the term Zamor launcher used, given I associate it with the specific 2006 piece, and think of these more as Thornax launchers...with Zamors. ~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahkshi Lalonde Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Wow, Ultra agents picked up really quickly, those sets are so impressive i may just stop only buying UA sets for one minifig, haha... (and despite antimatter's weaponized sharks, he leaves a critical lack of lazer-shark, pathetic.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a crazy inflation for one set O_oEven if it's a typo the price in Canada vs the US is also deue to shipping from the US to another country. It's dumb but that's how it is for now. Quote At some point you realize that you are but a speck in the Universe. That you time in this worlds is but a blink. You see the whole of reality as it unfolds before you. You try to see how far you can reach, and it’s not that far past your face. But then you come back from the brink. You hold them in your arms again. And you know that you are where their world begins. You are their rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
