LEGO Agents - Jetpack Pursuit - Set 8631 - Review
This set is my first LEGO Agents set, and this theme reminds me of James Bond. The double printed head of Agent Chase is cool, and I also like the new Dr. Inferno torso. What I don't understand is that LEGO made chopper blades on a jetpack. I would call it chopper jetpack pursuit. Also, the cartoon on the box and the artwork are very attractive.
Positive:- Minifigures
- Easy starter set
- Pieces for brickfilms and moc's (my own creations)
Negative:
- Stickers
All in all, it's a great set to get, and I would highly recommend you to get this model. You can find this set on eBay and BrickLink for sure. Here is the link where you can check out the full gallery I made for this set on my website: www.klokriecher.de

8631 Jetpack Pursuit
Well this is probably the coolest Agents set I own. I bought it along with two other sets of different themes at the Lego store in Downtown Disney.
Box: The box contains a comic giving the story behind the set, like the other sets in the theme. The box is more of a square in shape. This is a little odd, since most sets of this size have boxes that are more rectangular.
Instructions: Like other semi-recent sets, the build is made easy by very clear-cut directions.
MInifigs: The minifigs included are the hero Chase, and evil cyborg Sawfist. Chase is a little more unique with a double-sided head; one side showing a frown, the other a pair of shades a slight smile. Sawfist also is a superior fig. His head is half robotic, half criminal. He sports a robotic arm with a saw, hence the name. His torso is also a little more interesting, being metallic on side of the saw-arm. This gives a cool outlook on the surgery that was performed to equip this criminal with a permanent weapon. The accessories included are two different hair-pieces, and a saw for the villian.
The Vehicles: First the main part of the set: The snowmobile. The snowmobile is actually quite large, being about 5 in. long. It is armed with two guns on the front and one large futuristic cannon. The jewel that Sawfist stole is perched on the back. It seems weird that the jewel is so far away from Sawfist. You would think that he would want it close by, so as to make sure that it stays safe. The snowmobile skies are made up of Bionicle blades. These were new to me, because I never collected many Bionicles. Now the secondary part: The jetpack. The jetpack, (as many have stated,) is not a jetpack. It is more of a chunk with a propellar sticking out the top. A hook is sticking out the bottom, so as to snatch the jewel case away from the villian. It is not bad, but it is not a jetpack.
Overall, it is a very good set. Sadly, there are not many like it these days. The only poor things about it are the fact that there are stickers, and that the jewel case falls off a little too easily. I would say get this one before you get 8967, as this is much better.
Your humble servant,

PROS:
Kopaka Blades
Rubber Hoses
Red Crystal
Saw Fist-Metal Arm!
Agent Chase
CONS:
Kopaka Blades should be orange or black
Jetpack isn't a jetpack
Jetpack is way too bulky.
Otherwise, I highly suggest you buy this set.0 out of 2 people thought this review was helpful.
Lego Terminator!
I bought this set when it first came out mainly for the pieces. Although I completely destroyed it, I decided to keep Saw Fist and destroy the rest. The set itself is interesting and unique. I used the pieces to help build my Lego Halo Warthog. Onto the pros and cons
Pros
Great money value
Not that many stickers
Agent Chase and his cool hair
Saw Fist who looks like a terminator
Rare pieces
Cons
Why does a jet-pack need a propeler?
The ruby falls off WAY too much
Overall:
I am collecting Agents, so this is great for me. Even though all I have left is Saw Fist, he will make a great addition to Dr. Infernos army. If you need rare peices, buy it. It is an awesome set.2 out of 2 people thought this review was helpful.
