Save the day with the Agents Turbocar! — “The only reason why anyone buys this set is for the car. It has flick-fire missiles, pop-up machine guns, and an ejector seat. The car also sports several new pieces including the windshield and hubcaps. The ejector seat doesn't work but the rest of the gadgets are fine.... More Also, a lot of the pieces are in a new, theme-exclusive color, metallic silver! THIS is what the Aston Martin DB5 from "Goldfinger" wants to be.”

About Agents

The Agents theme was inspired by James Bond as well as action-packed spy movies. Each Agent set featured a short comic strip on the box showing the background to that set's action.
