About Agents

Spy gadgets and secret bases

The agents face Dr. Inferno and his henchmen in a series of missions that move between land, sea and air. Sets mix fast vehicles with villain lairs, so there is always someone to chase and somewhere to break into. Numbering the missions gave the range a clear order, and many collectors still line them up that way. In 2014 the concept returned as Ultra Agents, which is listed here as a sub-theme.

Mission by mission

Mission 6: Mobile Command Center (8635-1) is the largest set at 1,155 pieces. Mission 8: Volcano Base (8637-1) has 718 and Mission 7: Deep Sea Quest (8636-1) has 521.
