Ep. 83 - This Set is More Than Meets the Eye - Optimus Prime Full Review

26 minutes

AUTOBOTS, ROLL… OUT INTO LEGO?

That’s right—LEGO Optimus Prime (Set 10302) is here, and yes, he actually transforms without disassembly. It’s real. It’s epic. It’s ICONS. And in this video, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about this brick-built Cybertronian leader before he rolls out into retirement.

Originally released in June 2022 as part of the LEGO ICONS line, this $180, 1508-piece set is STILL available—but probably not for long. So, if you’ve been on the fence, this is your moment to decide: Prime-time purchase or pass?

Plus, a quick rewind to LEGO history: Remember when Kre-O (yep, that South Korean brand) made Transformers sets back in 2011? Yeah, they disappeared faster than Starscream in a leadership meeting. But thanks to Hasbro teaming up with LEGO, we now have the Optimus we never thought we’d get—complete with printed parts, 10 bags, 5 stickers, and about a million nostalgia points.

And as a bonus tease… Soundwave is coming this summer, so if you're building a brick army of Autobots and Decepticons, it starts here. Whether you’re a LEGO fan, a Transformers die-hard, or just someone who likes watching a grown man geek out over plastic robots, this video is for you.

Hit play and find out if Optimus Prime deserves a spot on your shelf—or if he's just a very expensive truck with trust issues.
