Lego Technic Style Cyberverse Grimlock Set Released in Transformers Nezha Line

Another one that will only be available on the secondary market for a zillion rupies.

This is a thing of beauty.

This should complicate the Hasbro/Lego relationship

No, it won't. We've had stuff like this from China for years and yet we still got Lego Optimus.

Probably doesn't count as its Chinese only, plus Prime may have only been a one off anyway

The OP Hasbro/Lego Collab is likely a case of "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." It's a win-win either way you look at who's joining who. There's no permanent bad blood in the business world and it's all for fun and profits. Who doesn't want that, right?

Judging by some of those pieces, this guy is BIG. I'd love to see comparisons with Lego Op, and even Kreo Grimmy in dino mode.

Yeah, he'd be about as big as the previous Optimus they did

That kid has way too many parts left over...

The two seem to share weird fists but they look smaller on Optimus to me.

Went looking for more info on this Optimus and struck gold on this order page. While it's no longer in stock, the page has tons on pictures and details on the set. Scroll down the page to seem them all.

This is not technically a breaking news style article, but more to inform fans who have been asking where to get these officially licensed building block sets of Transformers Cyberverse characters. The questions came about when we revealed the Grimlock building set the other day since it looked cool and completionists wanted to add these official sets to their collection. It turns out that Grimlock is just the latest in a series of officially licensed sets within the Chinese exclusive Transformers Nehza subline. We had a Cyberverse Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee and Starscream sets before that. While the sets are officially licensed, they are not of actual Lego bricks but by Xiaomi which imitate the Lego Technic bricks (similar to how Kreo-O imitated the standard Lego building system).

They can be purchased on Ali Express. Fans were saying that this would effect a partnership with actual Lego, but as we now know, this is not the case, since after Kre-O and while these technic style sets are being released, Lego still partnered with Hasbro to make a Lego Optimus Prime. All these sets can be disassembled and rebuilt into the alt modes.

The Technic style sets range between $60-$100 USD, here are the purchase links:

Wait... those are non-transformable?

Boooooooooooooh!

Prime Sold Out already.

Ooof.

There are other sellers on that same site, slightly more expensive though

You forgot to mention ShowZ, which is a well-known site that carries (some) of these figures:

- https://showzstore.com/search/?Keyword=Nezha (Only Bumblebee now available)

Been a while since we heard from this line! Now all we need are images of the other original characters/deities.

Weren't these pseudo-Technic figures tied to an app of some kind too?

Yes, they are, we can see it in the listing links

Just like Kreo and they weren't extraordinary.
At least Lego Optimus Transform solidly.

Anyway, all of this give me the desire to try out one of those horrible Built To Rule sets. Too bad they are so expensive on eBay.

Word of warning: TFormers is reporting that this show is still coming after all, but their source is some random movie blogger on Weibo who doesn't provide any sources at all to back their claim. So if you see any word of this spreading, take it with a huge grain of salt since there's currently no confirmed credibility behind the claim.

Here's a rough translation of the original blog post on Weibo:

The way the World's politics are going right now, I think such a USA-China co-production may be put on hold for a while.
