TheOrcKing Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 The Brickfan has a video of the boat.This may sound terrible of me but hearing the speaker made me think about one of those clich Quote
chipbee Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 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.i Like this boat. It is like the dolphin cruiser for boys And will likely be very popular amonst boys. 2 Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Lol 31 seconds intro for 2 minutes video. Now that was gutsy The boat looks nice Quote
biniou Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 i Like this boat. It is like the dolphin cruiser for boys And will likely be very popular amonst boys. ! Dolphin cruiser Vs UA ship... this would be fun to be displayed ! Quote
inversion Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I never thought that I would say this, but I will buy an UA set. That boat... is amazing! 2 Quote
chipbee Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I think lego must have noticed that many boys and men are actually buying the dolphin cruiser for themselves. So it is only logical that lego makes a ultra agent cruiser to satisfy this untapped market. ultra agents are super cool and should have a higher profile in brickpicker. It deserves its own sub forum header. Quote
biniou Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) ultra agents are super cool and should have a higher profile in brickpicker. It deserves its own sub forum header. That could make some sense because the 2008-2009 sets could fit in too. BTW I've been like thunderstruck by the uglyness of some ennemies: (set 8971) "lol", just "lol". Impressive that lego didn't instantantly died after releasing such "robots" in their sets... Edited February 3, 2015 by biniou Quote
ravenb99 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Saw the Copter tonight at TRU and have to say it was pretty cool looking. Reminded me of Blue Thunder. Cue the DR youtube video. I saw your Airwolf one the other day. Quote

ravenb99 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I actually had to look Blue Thunder up I am going to bow to experience on this one (Lol it had Dana Carvey AND Hightower from Police Academy) LOL, I just remember it as a kid. I saw the movie then the TV show came out. I looked it up again too and saw Dana Carvey, seemed an odd casting choice seeing how his career turned out. 2 Football players too lol. I'd probably watch it now and be very unimpressed. Helicopters were in back then with Airwolf following and Magnum using one too. LEGO is just revisiting the 80s 1 Quote
Caltrops Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 And let's not forget the movie the show was based on: 2 Quote
TheOrcKing Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Between Thunder in Paradise, Thunder in Your Heart, and now Blue Thunder, the forum has one heck of a storm brewing here I tell you what. Well airplanes may win a straight out race through the sky but helicopters still are kings of the maneuver specially in urban environments. Quote

hockeyweasel Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Regarding the AppBricks: the LEGO website has this explanation for what they are and about: http://www.lego.com/en-us/ultraagents/app-brick It would appear that the pattern of the bricks in the gadget on the touchscreen is the key to interacting with the Ultra Agents App and getting clues on the villain, or something like that. So, would you say that you probably don't really need to buy all the sets and construct all the gadgets to interact with the app, you just need enough AppBricks and access to the building instructions to figure out how to MOC their pattern? Spyclops (2 bricks) and MSRP $10 Invizable (2 bricks) MSRP $20 Drillex (3 bricks) MSRP $30 Stealth Patrol (4 bricks) MSRP $50 UltraCopter (4 bricks) MSRP $80 Total = 15 Appbricks Super simple pattern for Spyclops (2-in-a-row) and Drillex (3-in-a-row), a large X or + pattern for the copter, a rectangle with 2 on a side for Stealth Patrol, and a 2 stud spacer for Invizable. I parted out Stealth Patrol and all I'm left with is figuring out how to market those carbon-infused bricks. Figure parents that like the App for their kid aren't interested in paying $190, regardless of whether the set is kind of cool (and some of them are cleverly done).

jaylay Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Like the boat at 1200+ pieces. The hideout is ok. Series 2 of this line has the boat as the set to get. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I saw the boat at TRU, the box looked sweet. It was $100 but heavier than some $120 sets Quote
Battrax Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Looks like they are the Legoland Earth-based version of Blacktron II. I rather like the sets. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 Here is a New Elementary review on 70170 Ultracopter Vs Antimatter and just2good's one for 70171 Ultrasonic Showdown. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Hmm, put that helmet-with-brain on one of Chima's Gorilla figs and you get a Mojo Jojo 1 Quote
tractorboy Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 So the last 3 sets aren't being released in the EU, according to a post I noticed on brickset.http://www.bricksetforum.com/discussion/20553/final-3-ultra-agents-sets-will-be-unavailable-in-europe Quote
