I can’t figure out what I love more. The Volcano Base, or the Coast Guard Platform.

Fair enough, Lego superheroes have always had bases, and some of the supervillain bases haven’t been so wonderful, but a genuine honest to goodness volcano base — and yet that Coast Guard pseudo-oil-rig is *so* darn gorgeous. I can’t decide.

The only time I ever thought I’d drool about an octopus was when it was on a plate over rice with soy sauce. I am now proven wrong.

That clear “octo” would be great for a MOC I was just thinking of, for the book, “Skybreaker.”

Classic: “An Evil Volcano Lair” with an included, “Ultra Death-Ray!” to awesome!

I think the builds ARE getting better. Both in part design and choice when building. That said, when do we get to see the INSIDE of the volcano?

Seriously, I still want two. Don’t you think the villians deserve to have a convenient getaway gate on the back part of the island?

Sweet, these Agents sets are really growing on me. And is it just me, or is LEGO getting better at building?

Um…. Trans-orange in ridiculous amounts? I think yes. That is one incredibly well-designed volcano right there. Agents is looking more and more like my must-have theme this year.

Forgive my ignorance, but are the Agents sets exclusive to Toys ‘R’ Us in the US? Or rather, am I ever likely to see them in Australian stores, or will I need to get them online (either via shop.lego.com or other retailers)?

The coast guard sets all look fantastic: I can’t wait to get my hands on them, especially the rescue helicopter.

You know, if you combine the sub set with the coast guard set, you’d get Diamonds are Forever. Or Thunderball.

I think the designers at LEGO have been watching Austin Powers. That Volcano Lair is awesome.
