Lego Agents (stylized as LEGO Agents) was a Lego theme that was first introduced in June 2008[2] after the discontinued Lego Alpha Team theme. The theme was inspired by James Bond as well as various spy movies. The 13 toy sets in the theme's release were split into three waves.[3] In 2009, the theme was re-branded as Lego Agents 2.0. It was discontinued by the end of 2009 and replaced with the Lego Ultra Agents theme in 2014.[4]

Overview

The Lego Agents product line continued the secret agent concept of Lego Alpha Team. The Agents product line was introduced in 2008, with a new range of characters and storylines. It focused on a fictional team of secret agents and their battles against Dr. Inferno and his evil villains. In 2009, two additional agents were introduced and the theme was renamed Agents 2.0.[5]

Development

Lego Agents was inspired by a wide variety of media, with many of the characters having been inspired by fictional spy characters. Lego Designer, Matthew Ashton explained, "We looked into anything spy, agent, super hero or super villain related! TV shows, cartoons and movies from when we were kids, right up to present day. We looked at everything from Mission: Impossible to Thunderbirds. The Agents theme also introduced cyborgs as the villains to give the theme a fantasy element. Matthew Ashton elaborated on the development of the storyline, stating, "Also, I have been asked a lot recently if there is an overall story arc for the Agents theme… i.e a master plan for Dr. Inferno to take over the world etc. To which the answer is ….no." and continued, "When we tested Agents we found, with this theme in particular, it actually worked best not to do so. We designed the products as a series of mini missions, like "steal the Diamond back", "retrieve the Treasure Map", "rescue an Agent", to act as little story starters for the kids, who can then tie them together to create their own master plans."[6]
