I was really excited for this set. It’s a fragile build. Pieces kept falling off as I built, and transformed it. I would not recommend this set
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If you find that pieces are falling off, the best thing to do is double-check your build. Sometimes there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be. If you need any help please do reach out at LEGO.build/Service-BV!

it was a fun build lots of easter eggs but when trying to transform him he started to fall apart he is very fragile mainly around the waist and above legs were very strong
As a kid of the 80's, this build had my 8 year old self ecstatic! Unfortunately, there were a two major design flaws, both in the waist.
1. The horizontal pivot point just below the chest keeps separating. Not the worst of the flaws but annoying nonetheless. 2. The hip connector (2 pieces) does NOT stay together. Seems to be one side thus far but is kind of a weak connection regardless.
I would recommend this to a friend!
