No way!!! Absolutely no way!! I am sorry Linda! This is not playmobil for me!

Secret agents? James Bond? Click Bond might like it, but its one think to make a custom out of playmobil on a secret agent theme (and click bond does it fantastic) and another to see an actual top agents theme... Maybe click bond can make something good out of it though!

Personally, it reminds me of all the bad taste versions of the greatest secret agent of all times...

Or maybe skypurr juniour can make a great space station out of it! or a lunar base! ;)

I think this new set and theme is absolutely horrible and I hope it is a failiure as I wish not to see it everytime I go to the shops.

Well that's my opinion anyway - cheap and tacky >:D

That is a very clever idea!
I can easily see it fitting into that setting just by changing the figures to astronauts.

I immediately thought of the setting for customisation, but not sure of the rest of it.

If only it would come in a modular SysX-version...  ::)
I like the theme, I especially look forward to the spy-camera to be build in the car.
A childhood dream comes true... :)

And I agree there would be a wonderful number of new parts for custom buildings, but I am afraid - at least it looks like that on the pictures I have seen so far - that you cannot vary the building a lot.  :'(

Reminds me of the Bat Cave. Oh crikey, of course, this is another click-system construction with no possibility of customising or expanding the building.  :'( If ionly they'd revert to System X, we could have used our existing collections and sets to enhance it, but now it is forever a stand-alone.


I'm not sure how they won an Innovation award for copying Lego's Agents theme. Maybe the award can only be given to German toy companies?

Like most people here, I'm not a big fan of this theme per se, but it would provide a LOT of interesting parts for use in other themes, so I'll probably buy many of the sets eventually. Maybe I'll even like them when I have my hands on them. I notice a lot of the older Space theme molds being recycled, so maybe I could use these sets to expand my Space collection as Wolf Knight suggested.

This theme doesn't appeal to me personally, but I know my brother would have loved it when we were kids. I think it will be interesting to see if it sells. I think might really appeal to kids, especially boys. Makes me think of Get Smart.
