Awesome, the old Agent sets were something I pined after and wished that they were there in my lego prime, I will almost definitely be getting some of theses.
QuoteAwesome, the old Agent sets were something I pined after and wished that they were there in my lego prime, I will almost definitely be getting some of theses. Yes, the old Agents sets were pretty cool. I am so excited for these I really want to get these but then my wallet might die if I buy these and the 2014 Star Wars.
Agents was one of those themes I really liked but never collected. I'm a theme completionist so if I do get Agents 2014 (and if the rumors are true) I'd have to go back and snag Agents 2008-2009 as well.Also I noticed the price for The Ultra Agent Headquarters is at $125 which to me is quite strange as usually in most themes, the largest set never exceeds $100 (unless it's a LEGO Store exclusive). I just hope the LEGO Group isn't raising prices .
Keep in mind the over all hugeness of the mech dragon. Just because less pieces doesn't mean it's less plastic. I mean with those big saw blades and all those long wing pieces that could easily be two smaller ones, I'm not too surprised its priced what it is. Jabbas Sail barge is an example, but Star Wars has a license, and Jabba could be twenty pieces but he's one. A read an article a while ago that proved Lego has never raised their prices, (but of course that does not take into account when they have too in order to pay for a license.) It's possible Disney's license fee is more expensive then when Starwars was owned by LucasFilms.
In all fairness that does have a big blade, and when my brother got it it looked about the right size for one of those sets. And my point isn't exactly that Lego is not expensive but rather that it isn't gaining in how much sets cost .
