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. Among the earlier missions, Mission 5: Turbocar Chase (8634-1) has 498 pieces, Mission 3: Gold Hunt (8630-1) 352 and Mission 4: Speedboat Rescue (8633-1) 342. The 2009 sets dropped the mission numbers: Aerial Defense Unit (8971-1) has 733 pieces and Robo Attack (8970-1) has 414. The parts list on every set page shows exactly what you need, which helps if you want to complete the whole run of missions.
