The Mission: Build, Play, Imagine
Every time Dr. Inferno appears, the Agents are immediately
called into action. In this action-packed LEGO set, Dr. Inferno's
henchman Magma Commander has unleashed his Magma Drones on the
City. The Agents' mission is to use their top-secret helicopter
to destroy Magma Commander's satellite broadcaster and wipe out
his robots. The Agents Aerial Defense Unit provides a dynamic
narrative setting to inspire imaginative play. In addition to the
17-inch helicopter, this set includes a satellite dish station,
getaway vehicle, and plenty of Agent gadgets. The Aerial Defense
Unit also comes complete with six mini figures: Agent Chase,
Agent Charge, Agent Swift, Magma Commander, and three Magma
Drones.
Also, there are plenty of additional features to keep the set
interesting. Just when it seems like the Agents are doomed, you
can engineer their escape from the evil drones --they can zoom
down the zip line with their special backpacks, jump into the
secret getaway vehicle, flee through Magma Commander's hidden
door, or set the helicopter's propellers in motion for the
ultimate escape.
Building the Aerial Defense Unit
With 733 pieces and a colorful instruction booklet, the Aerial
Defense Unit took our two adult testers approximately three hours
to construct. The process was challenging but not too difficult,
with colorful step-by-step illustrations showing the way.
Overall, this set scores an excellent rating for its clever
design elements. Favorite features are the helicopter's twin
propeller blades that turn automatically with a push of a button,
the chopper's spinning wheels, the escape winch, the movable
helicopter doors, the getaway vehicle that drops out of the back
of the helicopter, and the gadget-laden command center. And the
detailed cast of characters made it really enjoyable helping the
Agents crew outmaneuver their elusive enemies -- with binoculars,
radios, s, and more.
Also, our testers enjoyed the way the narrative of this set
allowed them to create their own top-secret missions. They also
appreciated that the storyline is simple enough to make the set
fun whether or not your child is familiar with the Agents 2.0
series.
