Secure Discounted Lego Optimus Prime and Other Collectible Sets Now!

The Lego Icons Optimus Prime model stands out as a highly acclaimed and popular set, celebrated for its ingenious 2-in-1 design. This 1,508-piece collectible allows fans to seamlessly transform the legendary Autobot leader into his iconic truck form. Major retailers recently offered this set at a 20% discount, bringing the price down to $144 from its original $180. While Amazon and Walmart have sold out of this special offer, Target has replenished its stock of the discounted set.

Now is an excellent moment to enhance your Lego collection with Optimus Prime, especially with the imminent arrival of Soundwave, the third addition to the Lego Icons Transformers series. This 1,505-piece Decepticon display model officially joins the lineup on August 4, but Lego Insiders can acquire it early, starting August 1, for $190.

Regarding the Autobot leader, the Optimus Prime Lego set has experienced multiple sell-outs across all three major retailers this year. Despite its current return, it`s worth remembering that the set was widely unavailable from last holiday season through March. Currently, the Lego Store has units in stock, though they are sold at the full $180 manufacturer`s suggested retail price (MSRP).

Optimus Prime: A Detailed Look

The Optimus Prime model is an exceptionally detailed rendition of the Autobot leader from the G1 era. Featuring 19 points of articulation, this 13.5-inch scale model in robot mode offers extensive poseability, functioning much like a high-end action figure. Its innovative 2-in-1 design provides more movable components than typically found in Lego sets, allowing for a seamless transition between robot and truck modes. While initial transformations might take a few minutes, mastering the steps enables conversion in under a minute.

Beyond its complete transformation capability, Optimus boasts a range of interactive features and accessories, making it one of Lego`s most dynamic collectible sets for adults. These include brick-built replicas of his ion blaster and Energon axe, which attach to his hands, a removable jetpack, interchangeable waist panels, and chest windows that open to reveal the Matrix of Leadership. An Energon cube and a display plaque are also included. It`s noteworthy that Optimus Prime`s truck mode is so meticulously designed, measuring 10.5 x 4.5 x 5.5 inches, that it could easily be mistaken for a standalone vehicle.

As with many Lego sets aimed at adult collectors, building Optimus Prime is a complex yet highly satisfying process, utilizing a diverse array of conventional and unique brick types. The construction time can range from three to six hours, depending on the builder`s experience with sets of this scale.

New Additions to the Transformers Lineup

Bumblebee

Last summer, Bumblebee, a loyal companion to Optimus Prime, joined him in the Lego brick universe. This 950-piece kit, though not yet subject to significant discounts, stands out as one of the most impressive Lego sets available for under $100. It features extensive articulation and allows for rapid transformation between its robot and car forms. Designed to reflect the character`s 1980s appearance, Bumblebee measures 9.5 inches tall in robot mode and 8.5 inches long as a vehicle. The set includes a detachable ion blaster, jetpack, and a display plaque.

Soundwave

The Decepticons make their debut in the latest Lego Transformers set with Soundwave. This 1,505-piece, 13-inch display model mirrors Optimus Prime in both height and piece count. Staying true to his G1-era aesthetic, Soundwave offers a unique 2-in-1 transformation into a boombox, complete with sound effects and iconic dialogue activated by a button. A distinctive feature of this set is the inclusion of transformable brick-built figures of Ravage and Laserbeak, which convert into cassettes that can be stored within Soundwave`s cassette deck. The model is accompanied by a brick-built information plaque detailing Soundwave`s specifications and a miniature cassette tape. Initially an exclusive launch at the Lego Store for $190, Soundwave will be available to Lego Insiders from August 1, three days prior to its official August 4 release, with broader availability at major retailers anticipated in the following month.

Beyond Transformers, significant discounts are also available on other iconic movie vehicles. The Lego Icons Back to the Future Time Machine is currently priced at $170 (reduced from $200) at Walmart. This versatile 3-in-1 build allows you to construct one of several DeLorean models from the trilogy, with the option to partially dismantle and rebuild into a different version later. While Amazon`s $170 deal is out of stock, Target also offers the set for $171.

Meanwhile, enthusiasts of Dune can acquire the Lego Icons: Atreides Royal Ornithopter with a 20% discount, bringing its price down from $165 to $132.
