Okay, maybe not, BUT!!!!
It seems Lego is mutating the Alpha Team line for 2008.
Alpha Team is an all-purpose action/spy/law enforcement team that fights the evil Ogel and his mutants.
The Alpha Team has had underwater adventures, arctic excursions, and other theme variations.
For 2008, Alpha Team turns into the "Agents" line and goes full-on James Bond.
Or Austin Powers.

I mean, look! An "Agents" set that features SHARKS WITH FRIGGIN' LASERS ON THEIR FOREHEADS!

Also amusing, a set with remote-controlled crocodiles!

And check out the bad guy dangling from the helicopter in this set. He's got spider legs! (Or at least insectoid legs)

That's just a little bizarre.
But wait, it gets better!
Lego will release some sets to tie in with the new "Speed Racer" movie by the Wachowski Brothers!
I am not making this up!
Can you spot the monkey in this set?

Oy gevalt...

But it's not all goofiness at Lego this year.
Thanks to the upcoming "Clone Wars" CGI cartoon, Lego is reissuing two sets I was unable to get the first time around:
the AT-TE and the super-awesome-cool Republic Gunship, so huzzah!!!
The new Republic Gunship even comes with nose art!
Oh yeah, I'm pretty excited about the Gunship. I wanted one so bad when they came out in 2002.
They sold for $65 at the time, and they command $300 on eBay nowadays.

Lego for life! (:throws Lego gang sign)
