    Just the robot is $45; the trailer is $58 and the two together are about $100.

    There are tons of KO lego sets on taobao and aliexpress. Seen those trailer listings before as well as LED kits for lego OP.

    KO lego don't tend to fit as well as real lego.

    No box just the manual? Too good to be true though.

    So what are the odds they release another Lego Transformer this year? Or is it more likely they waited to see how well Optimus did before greenlighting another, and it'll be 2024 or later for the next?

    Or even worse... Optimus was one and done :(

    I’m fairly certain Optimus was a one and done.
    I’d love to be proven wrong but I’m not getting my hopes up for any further Lego Transformer sets.

    Just found this on the shelf at my local Target in MA. Amazingly it was not there for Christmas.

    Man I'd like Lego Speed Champions to do a Camaro or a Beetle. Or maybe have both as a two pack.

    Lego just revealed the Star Lord helmet. I think heads would be a great direction to go since it avoids war vehicles/weapons enterily. And with as good as this helmet looks, I think they could pull off anything, G1, Movieverse, etc pretty decently. This already reminds me of Bumblebee movie Blitzwings head design

    I would absolutely love to have the main cast of characters as head busts like these. I have some of the star wars ones and I love them

    While this is very cool, it’s also not an official product.

    Gundamit has a trailer listed as coming soon. With a name like Lebo, we're definitely looking at knock off Legos rather than an independent brick toy company like Mega so I doubt you can expect much in the way of quality. Still, I'm getting it and I look forward to having a trailer for this Optimus.

    I like that it has places to store the jetpack and axe. And it comes with the repair bay robot thing and Roller. The Bay sword I could do without and the energon cube is nice but I'll never use it. All that for $80 is damn reasonable though, again, I wouldn't expect Lego quality.

    The Energon cube comes with Prime himself but until I looked at the pic I forgot too. Does anyone have one of these in hand already? I like it

    The post you quoted clearly says the trailer is listed as “coming soon.” So I would take that to mean no, nobody has it yet.
