Disappointed by poor stability.
on December 10, 2022
Posted by: CountFumblingThing
While building Optimus, I had a very hard time keeping parts from falling off. The whole model is very flimsy. It especially loves breaking at the pelvis/torso area, which is the core of the model. I was just holding it today and not even playing with it and the whole top half fell off and onto the floor and a piece broke in half. It was also missing a piece, which I had to order, and now I have to replace the piece that broke.
Transforming needs to be done delicately and I usually have to put elements back on that have fallen off during the process. It must be meant as a display model, because it's way to delicate to actually play with. As a side note, I don't know if the blocks themselves have gotten cheaper, but I've never had pieces just pop apart on any other set I've built. Blocks don't seem to satisfyingly snap together, they just kind of mush together. The arm joints are bad, too. After posing they usually droop to where ever they feel like. I've never been so disappointed by a Lego set. For how much it costs, I expected better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awesome Set
on December 11, 2022
Posted by: StrictVitruvius061
This is really an amazing set. Brought back lots of memories of when I was a child watching Transformers. The quality and built is awesome. Just wish it came with the trailer. I hope that LEGO would release the trailer to include it with this build. Would also love to see The Original Megatorn. A perfect gift for any age and a fan of Transformers. I love this product and recommend it to everyone.

Really enjoyed the build. Took a long time to build but it was absolutely a blast. I really hope they create a trailer for that can be purchased also.

Will There Be More?
on January 1, 2023
Posted by: GoofyWinzar048
First of all, this is one of the most fun sets I built in 2022. It reignited my interest in the first generation of The Transformers. If you can spend the money, I would absolutely go all in on this set. The build was very satisfying and the end result is SO amazing. Such a fun display and the interchangeable hands are incredible! I absolutely LOVE the inclusion of the laser axe-hand. That was such a nice addition.
Overall, I want more! Will we get Megatron? Starscream? BumbleBee? If the Lego Group makes more, I can guarantee them that I will be purchasing all of them. Ha ha ha! Cheers to the designer of Lego Optimus, it is marvelous!
Happy 2023.

Great Character, Frustrating Experience
on January 7, 2023
Posted by: WizardSpontaneousStrainor
Prime has always been one of my favorite Transformers so I was thrilled when he was given the Lego treatment. Unfortunately this has been the worst set for missing parts. And the blue is unique so can't just use any spare brick. Finished it by having to improvise. The completed figure looks amazing and none is the wiser.
