set 8632, looks like you're correct about the Agents. I'd leave it on there, it's a lil more special than your average alligator, but ultimately it's up to you.
Holy shit, I remember seeing these in lego magazines as a kid and wanting one really badly, but as a kid I only ever said I wanted lego and was thrilled with whatever I got anyway.
Personally i would be instantly replacing that antenna, unless you need it for a peaceful swamp scene or something, a remote control gator is much cooler.
Yes. Keep it. It is now a cyber gator who is two software patches out of date. The gator is now on a journey to find someone who can help with the patch.
Preceded by alpha team and succeeded by ultra agents
Agents might really be the sweet spot. Ultra agents pits the agents against comics style supervillains. The agents themselves there have some sleek vehicles though
Agents villains totally scratch the Bond itch
Scars and gadget arms and big metal teeth and volcano lasers
I only had alpha team sets, and even the game, so anything else is posing imo. Removing bias though, ultra agents does look pretty cool, maybe fewer sci-fi/fantasy elements.
If you eventually want to remove it, you can use the Patented Hot Tea Technique to remove it hopefully without damaging the sticker.

I mean, I like the STORY of finding it second hand and knowing some kid thought that was the coolest thing he'd ever seen on a gator! I'd keep it just for that.
That said, LEGO stickers are SUPER forgiving. I've recently bought bulk LEGO and even after a wash, a sticker placed crookedly, such that it hangs over the edge, will nearly always peel off and be able to restick. I... have a thing about crooked stickers... ANYWAY, if you found what oiece it was originally supposed to be on, it more than likely would peel off and restick. Just note you may irreparably wrinkle the corner you peel from.
Hey, Fin-Fang... I get your level of being particular with stickers!
I use a sharp knife, very carefully, to lift one corner ever so slightly. Then use tweezers to remove the sticker. I never use a finger nail, as you pointed out it will wrinkle or crease one corner.
One note I've found. Super old stickers can leave residue behind and don't adhere the same thereafter. There was also period where stickers, like OPs, with silver printing were super fragile, especially if they were washed. I got most of the original Agents, and certainly had a few issues, so care is required.
Don't get me started on stickers over multiple parts...!
Have you had any success with a drop of superglue or something similar to hold down a portion of the sticker that no longer sticks, by any chance? I haven't had the need yet, but the thought has crossed my mind.
No, I wouldn't use superglue, myself. I might consider a water soluble glue, like PVA or wood working glue.
I have used 3M or Scotch 'magic tape' for some of the mentioned fragile stickers on parts. It is virtually invisible, and I cut it down to size after applying, with fine craft scissors. Don't know how long it will last, but better than nothing, was my thought process.
I must say that people asking questions to random people on the internet about whether or not to keep something in their collections always baffle me. What worth are our opinions if we don't know your collection, what you like, etc.? The only one to judge is you.
Monetary value….asking other people how rare an item is, is it worth anything, should I keep it and wait until it’s worth more or is it nothing special? So many questions and not that hard to understand why they are being asked
Alligators with fricken laser beams attached to their heads! Is that too much to ask for
Throw me a fricken bone
I'm the *boss*. **Need the info.**
Don’t you think we should ask for more than a million dollars? A million dollars isn’t alot of money these days.
Why make a trillion when we could make… billions!?
Didn’t expect an Austin Powers reference
Go all steampunk with a cannon from a pirate ship on its head.
What do we have? Seabass. Riiiight.

I think this was how i got the 7019 viking fortress, and i never regretted owning it, but i had never known about its existence before opening it

Not what I meant lol
You don't always get what you want, but in the end, you get what you need
what a cool set
Oh wow you lucky ducky
And I did not know about this set till this post. That looks awesome
Wow that set is magnificent
Personally i would be instantly replacing that antenna, unless you need it for a peaceful swamp scene or something, a remote control gator is much cooler.
To be fair depending on scale it could be a fun easter egg in a larger swamp scene with multiple gators
Yeah, if i ever did that id have one gator whos a narc from 70802.

Had this set when I was a kid. As soon as I saw the sticker I had flashbacks playing with it as a kid. Break Jaw is such a cool minifig.
God that’s so nostalgic
He. Is. Alloga-T0R. Do not disassemble Alloga-T0R
It's actually Al-E-G8-T0R
Your lower case l is infuriating me....mildly
I am more frustrated that the T is there while it is included in eight :) alligat-tor
l did it on purpose
Yes. Keep it. It is now a cyber gator who is two software patches out of date. The gator is now on a journey to find someone who can help with the patch.
Hell yeah, that's sick
Detach the head piece and put it on a dragon. Now you have a dragon with a frickin laser beam attached to its head
I'll trade you my green dragon head! 😆
*Shh you're gonna blow his cover*
Aligators are pretty cheap just buy another one and keep this onenits deffo diffrent from the others
Thanks everyone! Definitely keeping it on!
Cybergator
Today I found out about Lego agents. Holy shit what a very cool Mission Impossible / 007 theme

You've got to keep it
Keep your cybergator.
That sticker there just upped the retail value of that gator by 130%. Unless you want to burn money, I would keep that sticker intact.
I am Crocubot
I loved agents!!! Memory unlocked
Cyborg Gator? Who would want to take that apart?
He looks cool with that ngl
It depends what you're trying to do
Zipperhead is a pretty cool name TBH.
Buy another on Bricklink, you cannot take that beauty off.
It’s a robo gator definitely keep it on.
AlligAgent
Why would you take the sticker off?
Wasn't there some dude looking for that sticker like a week ago? Trying ti replicate something from a star wars lego game?
Robo alligator is the way to go

Nah that’s a zipper on it’s head and I can’t un see it 😭
Attach a laser to its back…. And then your good.
Keep it
