    I wish we'd arranged it differently - or rather than Lego had ordered the bags differently. I had the excitement of finishing Optimus, but there were two bags left. Oh, it's all the accessories. If I had known, I would have done the bags more like 1-3, 9-10, 4-8. Then it would finish with the head and the complete Optimus!

    It's like The Scouring Of The Shire all over again...

    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
