I wonder how fast pre-orders will sell out.

FYI multiple Lego reviewers broke the embargo date and took down their reviews. My preferred Lego site said their review will go up later this week. If Lego opens up preorders, they will probably go up at the same time.

I'm sure this set will need multiple production runs but it should remain available periodically and with occasional backorders for the next couple years. This set will also probably be available at other retailers including Amazon and Target. Point being: if you want it immediately, watch Lego's and fansites' social media for the formal launch. If time isn't critical, you can be confident it'll be available at list price sooner than later and that it will sell out only temporarily.

From hat I read, it will simply be out June 1st. You go to the Lego store and pick it up or buy it on their website.

It would be great to stand this one next to my old Kre-O POS one...

Take my money, Lego

It’s big, it transforms with what appears to be no partsforming, I get to build it from scratch… I could really just sit here and go on with the positives.

Hopefully this does well enough for future sets, I’d love a brick Megatron.

Wow that looks way worse than expected, especially for that price. Money saved I guess

I never thought in a million years they could pull off a transforming Optimus Prime in LEGO! Super impressive!

Damn!...

That's a sight to behold. But also an eye searing price tag.

FINALLY! Someone actually made an Optimus Prime that transforms like the CGI Optimus seen in the main menu of the Rhino DVD releases of G1 Season 2!

And, wow, it's as big as a Supreme class toy. Like, Armada Unicron-sized!

Looks nice.I like how managed to keep the transformation accurate to the G1 toy while giving him nice proportions and how the truck grill in robot mode isn't fake kibble.

Day 862 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

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??

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.
