Well,I suppose that sort of answers my earlier question about the Spy
Runner... doesn't seem too "secret agent-y" to me tho. I'd expect a secret
agent plane to be something more sleek and jet-like. The twin-engine Cessna
with a couple jet thingys on the wings just doesn't do it for me.

Still, this Secret Agent stuff sounds interesting, so I hope to see more
sets. Perhaps there will be some kind of cool sports car with hidden
compartments... <cross fingers>

(just in case...)
This years free set with a purchase of $75 or more is #3439 Spy Runner.  111
pieces. can be bought seperate for $9.99 it is an air plane With a Trans Dark
blue "X-wing" canopy and a small runway car.

While this of and in it self is somewhat interesting the most interseting
thing
to me is the new computer game on Pg.32.  #5714 Alpha Team PC CD-ROM $29.99
The description is as follows:

"Welcome to a world of secret agents, amazing gadgets and covert operations
where only the quick-witted will survive!  You get to take charge of the LEGO
Alpha Team, a crew of secret agents, each with a superhero power and
specialized gizmo.  Your mission: rescue 5 members of the Alpha Team who have
been captured and are being held in Evil Ogel's compound while arranging LEGO
contraptions to maneuver obstacles within the various compounds.  Do you have
what it takes to save the World."

The picture shows six cartoon figs: one who is probably Evil Ogel and 2 girls
and 3 boys are a most likely the Alpha Team. Well is is kinda hard to make out
but the Spy Runner's pilot looks like one of the Alpha Team girls.  So it is
posible Lego will be realesing a Secret Agent theme for 2001.  If the Spy
Runner is any indication it would be relatively un-juniorized and have some
good parts.

(...) Personally I like it the way it is (colors are a bit funky to me but I can fix that.) When I saw it I imediatly thought cool a twin prop-plane that is really a super-sonic spy plane. I would haver rather had a more built up plane than a small (...) (24 years ago, 6-Sep-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general)

(...) One thing that stands out here...the common US "secret agent" plane right now would be a OV10D, or a MC130 Herk...so, it being piston engined is no big deal. The WW2 eq. was the Lysander, which is a single engined piston plane... It helps that (...) (24 years ago, 6-Sep-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.general)
