| At Least He Doesn't Break! | |
| Look, this guy is a lego transformer. True he falls apart and you have to totally rebuild him as a robot or vehicle, but he's pieces are very sturdy and won't break, but don't try. Also take a look at his actions. He has two incredible missles. Both the missles and the launchers are ~3" long. Also this guy is huge, he's as tall as the Armada Prime's super mode. Imagine Megatron trying to stand up to this Optimus, why with one step Megatron would be flatter than his tank mode. Also look at the detail. His grille is so realistic, it appears to be one piece. The toy is manufactured well for legos, the pieces are a little reluctant to join at first, but with gentle coaxing and a little pressure they're inseparable. Now for the downsides. Optimus can't combine with Jetfire, sigh, and he does not have a super mode, however his regular robot mode is like a super mode ;-). A younger kid be frusterated with Prime's complexity, but then again, these were designed for, um... five and up. Even in the commercial, see above, portrays older kids battling with these rugged sets. Also his robot mode is assymetrical. I don't know why I bothered telling you that, but I did. What am I forgetting? Ah, educational value. Why the heck would anybody care about school at a time like this? You're not supposed to have "any toys on school grounds," but he does help you practice fire motor skills. All in all, y'all make the decision. I'm happy with my purchase, as soon as I find that !@#$ missle. It just goes to show how powerful those launchers are. | |
| Don't waste your money | |
| This toy is very disappointing. I'd like to see a 5 year old put this together and play with it. Its impossible. Nothing stays together. I will never buy another lego transformer for my son, he and both were so frustrated and now that we have it "together" he is even more frustrated because he can't play with it. The minute he touches it it falls apart. What a bummer. | |
| Built to Rule; Not to Stay Together | |
| While the idea of a "lego" transformer was a good idea, in practice it is a disaster. The pieces do not stay together and for every stop you follow, you undo the three before. Even when transforming, you have to take it all apart, and then it won't stay or stand as indicated. A very disappointing toy ... glad we found out before the holidays. |
