LEGO Icons Optimus Prime 10302 Transformers Figure Set, Collectible Transforming 2-in-1 Robot and Truck Model Building Kit for Adults, Perfect for Display or Play, Idea

I want to say up front, this was obviously made for the fans. The extras like the energy cube and the swappable belt piece prove that right away. And it actually does transform! Now, the drawbacks. I was missing a piece, but there ended up being a backup piece in a later bag that was close enough for now. Additionally, the joints are not super stable or robust. I blame this on the transforming abilities and the way the midsection especially has to bend and shift between forms, but right where you want to pick him up is exactly where hes weakest. Also, the build instructions were unclear enough that at several points I had to tear down and fix things I thought were correct but later ended up being wrong. It also continues the general flaw of many LEGO sets where it clearly has you building up using many smaller pieces where a single larger or more standard piece would have served better. It feels like an attempt to inflate the piece count for marketing without adding anything to the build itself. But LEGO sets do that all the time, its not unique or even excessive to Optimus here. Overall I love him, but I would definitely put his overall quality below that of the Voltron set.

Ive been buying LEGOs in my adult life for about a year now, this being my most recent purchase, and I couldnt be more impressed!! Its such an incredible set, the ability to fully transform a LEGO set from a solid vehicle mode into a massive robot is really something to experience. It sits on my desk so I can appreciate the details that went into this build on a daily basis. If youre even slightly interested in picking this up, DO IT. You will not be disappointed.

A treasured gift and fun to do.

Its a nice Lego set. My son loves it however he was disappointed there was no knee movement, so he has modified it to give it bendable knees and better hands

Wasn’t hard to put together but very time consuming and loved building this was fun childhood experience

My son got this weeks ago and is still building it, usually he completes builds in one day and this one is taking him a long time which I’m thankful for so he keeps busy when he is bored

I bought this as a gift for my grandson. I know that he has wanted this for a very long time. He is going to love it!

the details are fantastic. transforming is surprisingly simple. size is great in scale. the only complaint is the torso usually separates from legs while transforming but is a good display piece and fun to build

My son is going to love it

Every piece I removed/add it fell apart in my Hands had it for one day and built it 7 times
