lol username Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The German Toy Fair has arrived, and we have pictures thanks to this Fedro dude. Check 'em out! http://www.flickr.com/photos/61839591@N08/ Things of note include Ultra Agents, a new cyberpunk-esque secret agent theme heavily tied into comics and apps, and a new Arctic theme - or rather, a subtheme of City. The new Arctic sets are very reminiscent of the 2000 sets, though there seem to be crystals in the meteors/ice chunks rather than ancient aliens. Also, Johnny Thunder has back printing.

The Ace Railgun Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Things of note include Ultra Agents, a new cyberpunk-esque secret agent theme Those sets look like something out of Psycho-Pass... and Arctic I love the old Arctic sets, they do resemble the older sets (well kind of, it needs more dark blue) I think I like the older Arctic theme's hoodies better, I do like that mobile outpost though.

eagleeyedan Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 A reboots of agents, nice! Now if they'd just reboot Alpha Team, which actually had a storyline, I'd by much happier though from what you said it looks like they're adding a story this time.

STUDZ Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Ohhhh man. Benny's ship in higher quality images. IT'S HAPPENING, IT'S REALLY TRUE. AND THERE'S A LITTLE ROBOT. AND DOTH MINE EYES DECEIVE ME??? ARE THOSE PRINTED ELEMENTS!?!? I can die a happy man. A LEGO DeLorean AND another Classic Spaceship. I don't even care how much money I'll have to drop for that thing, it's as good as mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 The arctic sets do look pretty good, but other than the lack of a greater range of colours (as previously mentioned), I think they need more buildings. I remember getting the big base set when the 2000 theme was out - I tended to save up for one big set rather than getting all the smaller ones, for some reason - and loved all the buildings. But just one here (plus the mobile one)? I think that's a shame. They do however have a nice selection of vehicles, so perhaps I'll get one or two. Maybe even make a diorama like theirs using a foam base or something. The agents seem okay, but I did instantly recall the set that Alcom pointed out. I won't really comment until more sets are revealed. BerixMaster2010 and Rokreder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yes, back printing for Johnny! That's a really cool construction site diorama they have, too. I'm wondering if those extra long beam elements that are used for the buildings' frames are actual LEGO elements, and if they might appear in sets. @tazakk, Johnny has done something and you've failed to break the news. Oh, I'm sure there will be plenty of news coming along in a week or so. le717 and ProfessorBrickkeeper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 That spaceship... Wow, the popping out of the wings (like Buzz Lightyear), that... that sold it for me. I'm getting one. LEGO's producing quite a few sets this year that, for the first time in a long time, I actually really want to buy. I've bought maybe two or three new sets in the past several years, all the rest are the good oldies. But now, LEGO's actually interesting me again. Dang, and I thought my wallet was safe. le717, The Ace Railgun, STUDZ and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokreder Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Very excited for the arctic theme. Looks quite realistic even. It also marks the return of the (probably redesigned) polar bear, and the introduction of what appear to be husky dogs? We also have the trans light blue (ice) rocks. The rock raiders can now find their crystals in all 3 biomes. From what I see on these pictures we will be getting quite a few new interesting parts too. As for the colors, I agree with what has previously been said. I hope they will add on to the line, and not only make one batch of models and then let it die. (Like what happened to the city mining sub theme.) One way would be to make a second polar-base set that could be connected to the first one for as bigger base. When it comes to new vehicles though... I can't come up with something they have not already covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagleeyedan Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I love the little speeder bike for the Ultra Agents in the second set. So simple yet cool with the futuristic design! I also love how they finally got past the Flick-Fire missiles with the new spring loaded missiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
