Description

Agents versus crooks

The Agents theme revolved around secret operatives and their opponents, complete with vehicles, gadgets and chases. River Heist moves the action onto the water. With three minifigures there is room for both sides, the pursuers and the pursued. The set is clearly built for play: you assemble it quickly and can start inventing stories straight away rather than just admiring it. The size also suits children who are only starting to act out scenes and stories, since the model stays manageable and the three figures give every plot an opponent.

Dark tones, one orange accent

Black, light bluish grey and dark bluish grey set the mood, while orange adds a striking contrast. The sombre palette suits the spy theme and lets details stand out. If you like sorting by colour, this one is easy, as only a few colours appear in any quantity. That also helps when you want to put together your own variations from similar bricks, for example if you fancy building a second vehicle in the same look.

84 different elements

The 203 pieces are spread across 84 different elements. That is a lot of variety, which suggests many specialised parts. When buying a used copy, a look at the parts list below is worthwhile, because small special pieces tend to go missing first. The three minifigures and their accessories should also be complete before you agree on a price, since individual figure parts are often hard to track down later.

Mixing with your own bricks

Agents sets combine well with City or pirate models if you want to build a larger scene. If you already own bricks, the “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria shows which models you can assemble from your stock plus this set. The parts list on this page also helps you track down any elements you are missing and lets you check a second-hand set for completeness before you buy.
