Lego announced the Transformers Optimus Prime Lego Set 10302 today and many reviews were ready to go. Below we have more images of the set showing the new pieces made for it (most are simply in colours we did not get before). There is no US listing yet but the word on the street says this toy will be available in Lego Stores June 1st for $170 USD. With there being 1508 pieces, this price comes out to the standard 10 cents per piece + licensing premium, the same we see with Star Wars sets. We also found a video review that we are sharing with you below.
While many Lego fans have expressed anticipation for the novelty of this set both in terms of it being the first Transformers Lego set and this being transformable, Transformers fans are mixed on the toy due to lack of knee articulation and headsculpt. You will let us know what you think!

Will this lead to Transformers mini figures? This is why they discontinued the Kre-o line??

Wow, this is great! A real dream come true for a fan of LEGO constraction and Transformers.
Also:
Are these new pieces?
Pretty sure this is a one-and-done deal. Though I certainly wouldn't mind future collaborations between the two companies, even outside Transformers! I love when companies stop competing against each other and actually cooperate to give us something awesome.

Yes, the socket brick is debuting with the tallneck lego set, and the mouth plate part may be entirely new - I don't keep up with new parts and parts in new colors very strictly though

The Brothers Brick and other Lego review sites routinely photograph new part and color availability.
Also apparently the mouthplate part is in the new succulents set.

Is it? Got'cha, I don't think Brickset mentioned it in their review, thats good to know. I know one new part is that dark grey ratchet part in the thigh assembly that I'm really excited for, I only MOC large robots, and I am thriving with the new ratchet parts that have debuted this year

It looks like it's this design, only in flame orange so far:
https://brickset.com/parts/design-1762
And I was curious, so I checked up on you, and they did mention it in their review and photographed the new part. I didn't take much note of it at the time since there are a lot of unusual parts and colors in the Botanicals Collection.

Transformers and Lego are in a race to see who can bankrupt me, and Brickset is very helpful in that regard.

That's cool, thanks. I don;t really buy much lego unless it can further my mecha moc's (which meant double dipping on the ninjago megazord for more of those new ratchet joints) but I fully intend to grab this and see if i can upgrade it

Wow, I had no idea this was even a thing!
Looks like it just come out a little over a week ago and already sold out everywhere but eBay for double the price. I'll have to check a few local stores and see if ones around, I don't exactly trust store local stock checkers online.
I might get Optimus, not sure, maybe just as an investment.

I wasn't expecting much when this rumor started...
But I'm interested for sure.
This is a pretty cool looking set.
it's a little unfortunate that the print for the eyes is a bit too high on that tile.
But still, I'm definitely interested in this.

The problem is that it's sitting on a special plate that raises it a little, the print actually take up the entire height of the plate. I dislike it too, but its something that I can easily swap out, just not sure is that'll look any better though

Well I knew target stores stock random 18+ sets, but I didn't want people to think it was gonna get a wider release than it is, seems tallneck is being stocked by retailers online, but is not being sold in stores (save lego stores) just yet, if ever. But you are right

Product page is up, doesn't look like it'll have a pre-order.

Target and Amazon both stock 18+ sets, so they'll probably have this, but we will have to check after the release date.

Yeah I don't think an explanation was ever given as to why Kre-o just ended. But I'm kind of glad in a way this Optimus Lego set is a one off. It looks amazing...
But to start a whole new line of Lego TF Minifigures would be detrimental to my wallet. I still have somewhere between 350-400 unique Kreons, and that is enough.

I don't think there's any mystery about Kre-O, it was just not a very good product. Lego has crazy market share on building blocks and it was never a Hasbro priority. They have a few top-tier brands and product types, and Kre-O never fit.

Seriously though, Kre-O did do a whole lot better than Built-To-Rule (not saying much, I know) and some other lines, and did improve on itself as it went on, but like most wanna-be interlocking brick lines it simply lost steam and came to a halt. I will say I adore the cleverness of some of the Microchangers, which is the thing that set it apart from Lego.
I'm actually quite curious about the design process of this set. It must have been pretty difficult to plan a converting model like this one. Who were the people behind this?

Nah, I'll stick with my Diablock version by Takara Tomy. It might be a little rougher looking, but it's fully transformable, poseable and cheaper.

This Lego Optimus is so damn cool. I truthfully was wholly read to dismiss it upon hearing about it, but wow this looks so good!
The price really isn't that bad either. I really want this thing. I hope I get one next month. I need this guy in my life.

It’s odd the instructions and the box have his thigh piece upside down. But on the plus side the stickered little display title card has his thigh print correct!

Dan at Toy Galaxy said he'll likely be live streaming a build since he got a sample as well.

I take it he was given one by Lego/Hasbro?
I wonder if "I'm close friends with Hasbro" CrimevsCrime and chums were given one to review?
Anyway, if Dan and other legit YouTubers get them, we'll probably be able to see how legit they are as they will announce that they received a review/promotional copy.

It would be nice if Lego sent a few to Transformer reviewers to get some opinions from the other end of the spectrum.

He said on his most recent Friday Twitch live stream he got it from Hasbro and he's unboxed Hasbro's promotional boxes before (not just Transformers though he did get a box of Legacy stuff from Pulse a few weeks ago). He also isn't a reviewer, he's a collector and figure photographer and part time toy adjacent pop-culture historian. A couple years ago he turned his Toy Galaxy channel into a place where he uploads videos on the history of various movies, TV shows, comics, cartoons and other things that got toy lines or were so bad their toys were never released. Meanwhile his Toy Galaxy Too channel is where he now does figure stuff, usually unboxings or his quarterly 10 favorite figure purchases. Why Hasbro would send him free swag probably has a lot to do with him having over 324K subscribers TG (plus another 25K on TGT) making him one of the bigger independent toy channels on YouTube if not the biggest, not to mention nearly 37K followers on Instagram.

PvP has a video of Lego Optimus Prime up. In it he states that Hasbro gave him a first look at it. Does that make sense?

Yet that's what he implicitly claims when he thanks Lego and Hasbro 'for an early look.' Doesn't pass muster.

Pretty sure he is using the fact that others got the set officially early to justify his other works, if he's above board this time, surely his others are above board too, right?
Either way, I am excited for this and plan to try to get him

I imagine it's really hard to steal from the Lego factory since much of their work is automated so if anyone is sneaking out kits it would be pretty easy to figure out who.
What Hasbro's PR team cares about is view counts and subs, factory theft isn't their department.

Yes, he has the most views for Transformers content on YouTube and is already on influencer lists for these topics, which is why he also got a sneak peak by Paramount for their Rise of the Beasts unveiling.
Also, this isn't a stolen copy, and the toy isn't out, so there are less options as to how he may have gotten it.

I get that, but the other stuff is supposedly stolen. So, are we to believe he's legit with Hasbro who would have to have some inkling of how he's getting his stuff?

I think we have to take it as a case by case basis and just stick with the facts. let's not assume anything other than what we know.
Remember, so far, his legitmacy with new stuff is only linked to licenced content and he gets contacted by PR firms, so he's twice removed from Hasbro with this particular Lego set.
He probably gets similar e-mails to the ones we (Seibertron) gets. While we get official behind the scenes look at stuff, it isn't form Hasbro proper but from an independent PR company Hasbro's own marketting team outsourced. Some folks at Hasbro may be aware of what PVP does, but the third party PR firm is not. They are paid to get the most buzz for certain things and will do that assignment. If it means contacting PVP, then that's what they will do.
If you want, I can make it simple. If it's stuff others get at the same time, then odds are it's legit. If it's stuff no one else gets and there is no proper documentation (I.E. a box) then it isn't.

There's plenty of folks with it, have been for at least a week. But, none of them are as funny as Dan and Toy Galaxy. I'd wager it's their production values that's holding them up.
