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

bought this for our son - a product of the original that he loved, putting it together for his birthday gift looks just like the one he had as a kid

Have been a Lego fan since I was a young child (4-5), and at late 30s still enjoy the Thrill of the Build. G-1 Transformers fan as well, so I admit I jumped at the chance to purchase this set. Lego never disappoints with their official sets. Using the Lego elements available to provide such great detail by using them in unique ways shows the cleverness of the designers. I really hope they expand on this line. Optimus needs his team, and a Lego G-1 Soundwave (the stereo boombox) would be epic if the 4 tape cassette Mini-cons were included; or at least Lazer-Beak.

This set is wonderful. I enjoyed building it. I would love to give it five stars. However, it can be challenging to transform Optimus from robot to truck without several pieces coming off. The axe attachment also comes apart fairly easily. So I had to knock off a star for those shortcomings. Certainly not a deal breaker since the model is intended to be put on display and not actively played with like a toy. A must buy for serious LEGO and transformer fans.

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

Transforming Optimus Prime from robot to truck takes a little work however very well thought out by LEGO and my son loves it.

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.

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.

This is quite possibly my favorite LEGO kit ever! The scale and functionality is awesome. Ive had a couple issues with certain joints not holding together (I think they couldve come up with a stronger join for his waist, especially), but overall Im very pleased with this kit. Definitely worth it (and yes, he really transforms)! Oh, I also recommend leaving aside the single piece that holds his fingers together, so that they articulate individually.

If youre like me and enjoy owning things mint in the box then this isnt for you.

Brought this lego as a gift to a little boy. But as we install the lego, we found out that there are missed pieces. Its a bit disappointing considering the price of this item with missing pieces.
