If you want to make your grandson very happy, this Bumblebee will do just that! Many hours of fun!!!

thiS waS a great lego Set itS hard to tranSform at firSt but after itS awSom and he will protec me from Soundwave

Bumblebee looks great in car mode but the whole point is to be able to transform him since he’s a transformer. Terrible design when it comes to transforming him. Falls apart as soon as you start the process. Optimus Prime was easy and looked great in robot mode. Lego should have never messed with the design on this. Now I have a transformer that I can’t transform which was the whole point of the Lego.

This is rated for adults but I got this for my 11 year old son and he loved it. Last year for Christmas we got him the Optimus Prime set that is also rated 18 . This is the perfect combo of his 2 favorite things, Transformers and Legos. 2 thumbs up. If you have a younger child, this would be a fun group project and it comes with very detailed directions.

I think the engineering in this model is amazing, and even better than Optimus Prime. Optimus' vehicle mode is boxy, which works for Lego bricks, but Bumblebee has curved surfaces. As I was building it (in vehicle mode), I kept trying to figure out how it would eventually transform into a robot. And I like how the face and leg plates are printed instead of stickers. I see other comments complaining about they can't transform the model from vehicle mode to robot model because the instructions aren't clear. To me, the instructions in the manual look exactly like instructions from the original Transformers toys: dashed arrows that you're expected to follow to move the parts. As for the issue of parts falling off, I would suggest moving the parts based on the instructions: in other words, move the pieces from the joint, not the ends. And as always when playing with Lego sets, keep a firm hand on it so the pieces don't fall off. Remember that this isn't a die-cast metal model like the original Transformers toys... and even some of those toys had pieces that would fall off if a part was moved too firmly. As for people who are "voting" for models of Decepticons, keep in mind that Lego *never* makes military models. This means Megatron (transforms into a gun), Starscream (transforms into an F-15 fighter jet), and so on, won't be turned into a Lego set. But maybe Lego can make the sci-fi Decepticons like Galvatron, Cyclonnus, Scourge, or Unicron.

I'll start with the biggest negative with this set, the pieces feel like they are from a knock off brand (at least in the order I got). A lot of the exterior pieces you have to interact with to transform it just fall off at the slightest touch, pieces that I don't even touch have just randomly falls off in the process. Even trying to open the doors will result in them coming apart. Other issues I have with the set are that the shoulder/arms are too bulky, too short and can't articulate enough. At the same time it feels like his legs are too long/thin and could have used some pieces to make them feel a little more in line with the rest of the set. If there were a way to have made the arms longer maybe that would have made the legs look less weird, idk. Overall if you are a fan of Lego and the G1 characters I would recommend buying just to have in the collection

This is a great model for anyone especially a Transformers fan, It is a very fun and interesting build. The set looks amazing in both the auto bot form and the car form. The Transforming part is a bit over complicated but other wise fun. I would definitely recommend this set to anyone!

I did not open the box. This Lego thing was a gift for my grandson's 33rd birthday. It seemed like a small box (that rattled) for a hefty $90 price tag! He said he liked it. I'll let you know what I think when he invites me over to see the finished product, once he has put it together.

This is probably the first real Lego set I’ve ever owned in my more than adequately time on Earth. Sure, I had my share of the lil kits that came in Happy Meals in the 80s %26 90s, but THIS is an absolute masterpiece. I think haven’t completed it yet(there’s ten numbered bags), doing a bit(bag) a night. I’ve found myself, saying out loud to no one in particular, “oh, that’s so cool” multiple times. I’m halfway through, by the way; I’ve already decided I’m going to eventually get Optimus Prime. I can’t wait to have it completed, transform it a couple times(what’s the point of making it if not to use it, right?), then decide on which position to have Bumblebee displayed

Lego produces quality sets all the time. Just disappointed that the day my set was delivered double vip points started and I missed out. Would of been nice if there was some notice since I would of delayed my purchase a few days to collect the double points.
