This is certainly not how we want your icon to stand in robot mode! Let's fix this! Make sure that all pieces are pressed tightly together and double-check your building steps. Our brick experts are always happy to troubleshoot with you at LEGO.build/Service-BV.

Genius idea, poor execution

First set I didn't complete building because it kept falling apart. The lower torso and upper body were not well attached and could have done better with more reinforcement from the technics capabilities.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is a great looking model. I would have like a build for my son and I to play. He is helping and learning on these bigger builds. Arms, legs fall off… torso splits in half top and bottom. Overall dissatisfaction and disappointment.

Not for play - Poor build quality
on August 18, 2022
Posted by: WigglyEmmet027
The torso of the body where the legs connect to lacks any rigidity. It is next to impossible to transition the model into the two configurations offered.
Just picking it up it falls apart (80% of the time).
This is by far our most disappointing build.
The red bricks supplied IMHO are out of specification. Nothing snaps together. Bricks just lay together (no snap) . Even with the interlocking of the bricks the build still falls apart. To much slop in the fit and finish.
If I could return it I certainly would. I am just outside a reasonable return window given this was purchased before all of our family summer vacations prior to the school year.
I hope this review helps in your decision. Statically displayed the model is esthetically poor. I think fans of the Transformers Franchise would be woefully disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Missing and wrong bricks twice
on September 18, 2022
Posted by: Ahacool5
I have experience missing and wrong bricks twice, even though there are 2 more bags. The 1st missing part was received through the portal request, however the 2nd wrong bricks was declined even not my fault. I am so disappointed not to complete my Optimus Prime's fingers. It has a wrong shape of fingers in the bag 9. It is weird why Logo makes many mistakes nowadays.

Poor QA---missing parts and Poor play ability
on November 19, 2022
Posted by: EsquireMythicalMetalbeard
Bought the Optimus Prime set for our son who is an advanced builder. He quickly experienced many missing parts over 8 pieces needed to be sent. Once built, the Optimus Prime was not play worthy or show worthy unless you super glued things down. Avoid

Response from LEGOBy Nelson, LEGO® Customer Service, November 21, 2022
We're sorry your son had missing pieces on his Optimus Prime set. It's super easy to get free replacement parts. Roll out to LEGO.build/BricksPieces-BV and we'll ship them to you. Please make sure that all the pieces of the set are pressed tightly together. Sometimes there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be. Feel free to reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV if you need assistance!

A big step in an amazing direction
on June 9, 2022
Posted by: PeopledFool2910
I love Lego and Transformers so much so when I heard the rumors of Optimus Prime I was super excited. I am very fortunate to have this new set and it was a great experience! The legs were very boring to build but besides that I had a blast. I hope in the future we can expect a Megatron.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome set
on June 9, 2022
Posted by: Demongles
My Optimus Prime was delivered a few days earlier which is awesome since Lego said to expect delays. The set has some awesome detail, I love gen 1. It could be a little cheaper, but I highly recommend this set!
