LEGO Agents Robo Attack (8970) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very cool new Robot from Lego. Excellent retro design. Seems very 1950's sci-fi with the feel of a James Bond-esque villian. Excellent for kids to build and play with (if child is around 4,5 or 6, help them with the build). And it's very poseable. Also there's so many extra's in this set with figures and vehicles. Just excellent.
PRO's-Robot design, right hand rotating claw (which can hold the mini-figures in its grasp), left hand with a great idea from lego: a light up brick that attaches to the left arm to light up a 'flame thrower' type weapon (excellent idea). Villian sits in the bubble headed top of the robot, which can be opened and the villian can eject and escape via a small escape pod/craft. Torso of Robot can also be detached from legs and used as an escape vehicle. You also get a Lego Agents jump jet plane with 2 flick fire missiles, a 4 wheeler vehicle, 2 lego agents (Chase and Trace), 3 civilians (one with a camera) and the villianous Dr. Inferno (I think that's his name) with a rubber head-dress design and brush metal right arm/claw. The 4-wheeler has a rope (string is strong) attached to a wench on the back end with a hook.
CON's-Really none except the 4-wheeler could be slightly better designed (perhaps a more detailed vehicle and could use a 'crank' or lever to help pull the rope/string-but you can do this with your thumb anyways). Also mid-torso area doesn't completely rotate 360 degrees. It goes all the way right and all the way left but to completely rotate 360 it touches/taps part of some bricks and makes them separate if done too hard. Lego should've just added a small center piece to lift torso slightly so it rotates smooth.
Other than my above 'CON' suggestions, this is an excellent toy/model from Lego. I HIGHLY recommend it to new and old lego collectors and especially for young kids to play with. A Robot, 2 vehicles (4 if you count in the escape pods from the Robot) and 6 mini-figures. JUST A GREAT SET!

LEGO Agents Mobile Command Center Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been a LEGO fan all my life. I am in my 30's and I remember owning just one LEGO set (221 pieces which I used to count before and after building). It was an old Castle set with 4 figures and a siege tower. It was my favorite toy. So to buy a set with so many figures and pieces for my son was very exciting for me after all these years.
My son is 4 years old and he loves playing with his LEGOs (Duplo). We build everything together and playing this with him sure beats playing any video game or anything else.
This set is particular is outstanding. There are just so many things that you can make in this set. We have not yet made the whole truck as we make one small thing everyday. With over 1000 pieces, it can take a while to put together (especially with an impatient 4 year old). He is very happy with just the small cars and planes that we have put together so far. I look forward to putting the truck together and make it all come together. The figures are so cool as are the small gadgets that we get with the set like the laptop, projector, little guns, tools, flippers etc..
My wife who usually does not play with boy toys joined us in building and was blown away by the detail of this set. She sits down everyday now and joins us after dinner to put something small together. No TV for us! Once we put this together, we are going to combine this with the DUPLO Thomas train track set and have tons of fun.
The price on Amazon is pretty cool ($20 cheaper than on the LEGO website). Great great deal and I would still pay the full price if it were not on sale. Great toy for anyone and everyone who appreciates good quality, design, detail and battery free toys.

Warning! Dr. Inferno's henchmen have set out to rescue him from the Command Center's jail. It's up to you to prevent his escape. There's a heated battle expected to take place, so you'll need to use all of your available resources -- the intel center, weapons bay, tool shop, jet boat, plane and two cars. 1,154 pieces.
