Multiple pieces missing from bag 8, integral ones I could not replace on my own. An unprecedented amount, more than I’ve ever seen rendering it UNBUILDABLE on bag 8-12. It’s a rare occurrence but this is unacceptable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Beautiful build/ terrible quality
on December 30, 2025
Posted by: AthleticWarthog012
I was so excited for this set literally all year. I finally got it and enjoyed the build so much, but the actual set is so bad. Every single joint is extremely loose, to the point you can barely pose the figure at all. At first it was just the shoulder joints, then it was the hand joints, now the knees/ankles are giving out. I've had this set for literally 5 days and it's already near useless. It can only be displayed in its Walkman form unless you super glue the whole thing together in the exact pose you want. I am incredibly disappointed in a way I never have been with Lego. (The image included was taken the first day I had it. The right arm already won't support its own weight, hence why it's dropping down)

Had High Hopes
on December 28, 2025
Posted by: PrincessMuscularGarlic
I initially was very excited for this build(who wouldn't). As my build got closer to completing that's where the frustration began. So the legs do not stay together at all and posing not very good either. I just finished him today and not 5 min ago he fell because of bad connection at the hip/leg.... and busted completely on the ground. To spend the time building this then for it to be undone within seconds, not happy with this product at all. I really hope that someone can find a fix to make him more stable, for now he will sit broken in a box..... very bummed and disappointed with lego for not making it a more stable and playful set. I think it's great that their are more adult sets to choose from but I feel at this point it's more greed from the company than good builds. Of course I will still buy lego, but will choose more wisely.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Relive your childhood memories in Lego form

Had a secondhand sound wave as a kid in the 80’s. None of the cassette tapes. Making up for it now.
Sound brick is a nice addition. Problem is how to display it? In “boombox” form? Robot form? Might have to get 2!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Soundwave is as described. He is an advanced build. Minor issues in pivoting motions. Soundboard is awesome. Brings back nostalgia from original cartoon.

I already owned the Optimus Prime model, which is excellent. This looked promising. Overall I'm very satisfied. My only complaint is that the hands and arms aren't properly concealed in its alt-mode. It would also be cool to have more of his cassette warriors available, even if they were sold separately. But it's a good solid build, highly poseable and stable, and the sound brick is a nice touch. (Another suggestion: replace the sound brick with a Bluetooth speaker module?)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Instructions booklet is overkill
on October 19, 2025
Posted by: Captainclutch
Everything is cool with Legos itself like usual however trying to make the instruction booklet cool with the grey background is a over kill, so hard to see it especially with dark color Legos..
I would recommend this to a friend!
