As I’ve seen more and more of these new sets, I couldn’t help but think that 23% of you couldn’t be that wrong.
So I picked up the two smallest sets yesterday, 8631 Jetpack Pursuit
We’ve already featured full reviews of the two sets I bought (8631 and 8632), but I wanted to add a few words of my own.
8631 Mission 1: Jetpack Pursuit
The minifigs (left) are what make this set, I think. The cyborg fig has a new type of arm that fits anything with a rod connection point, and the back of the torso is printed with a large version of their logo. The agent fig has a double-sided head and black Mutt Williams hair.
8632 Mission 2: Swamp Raid
Building Swamp Raid was actually pretty fun — especially the bike. The dock has a fun play feature that flips the bike off when you punch a lever. Oh, and did I mention the cyborg crocodiles? Indeed, hilariously awesome cyborg crocodiles.
Missions 3-6
Missions 1 and 2 have given me hope for the rest of this theme, and I’m fairly eager to get my hands on them. A quick rundown of what I’m seeing in the other sets:
- 8630 Gold Hunt
: A man with a golden gun. A big pile of pearl gold 1×2 tiles. - 8633 Speedboat Rescue
: Sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads. Dr. Evil would be jealous. The female agent also has a new hair element. - 8634 Turbocar Chase
: Four more barbed wire loops, a new laptop element, and the weirdest villain minifig in LEGO history. - 8635 Mobile Command Center
: Lots of dark blue, with all four Agents minifigs. The only set with the evil overlord Dr. Inferno (whose flaming hair is awesome).
