LEGO Icons Transformers Soundwave Model Kit 10358

Really happy they bought out a Decepticon especially Soundwave, the detail is exceptional having the added cassettes Ravage and Lazerbeak that also transform is genius, the sound brick ice the icing on the cake. Absolutely amazing set Lego smashed it out the park with this.

its not bad at all has some cool ideas .... i hate stickers on any build LEGO PRINT YOUR BLOCKS , stickers suck for kids and stuff . but its realyy pretty awesome legs need some positioning for his size besise that the 4.7 score is correct for me . but in general its a great kit.

Rarely has a build brought me more joy. I was giggling like a little boy when I pushed the "play" button and heard Soundwave's voice and transformation sound. If you are a fan of the original Transformers, I don't understand why do not already own this set. Strictly viewed as a Lego set, it is very well done. Easy to build, yet so cleverly designed and it looks gorgeous. The transformation is smooth and easy, but there are one or two panels on the legs that have a tendency to fall off when transforming. Not much of a problem, they are easy to put back in place. It comes with Razorbeak and Ravage which is great (When can we get Frenzy and Rumble?). I put 4/5 for value simply because Lego sets in general are expensive. Compared to other Lego sets, it is quite worth it. Now, viewed as a Transformer Lego set, it is awesome! I still have my original mid eighties Soundwave toy. It has always been my favorite. This new set is both true to the original toy and the TV series. The head is the one from the cartoon, everything else is almost identical to the original toy, but bigger. Much BIGGER! The transformation is almost identical to the toy. The cassette bay is opened by pressing a button on his shoulder and it is just SO satisfying to open and close. You can fit one of the cassette in the bay. They even put tiny rubber pieces under his foot to give him some grip when standing up. The only low point I can come up with are that the back of the cassette player (when transformed) is not very convincing. The hands are visible and the weapons (that in the original toys turned into batteries that you stored in a compartment) are also visible. That's it! Those are the only points they could try to improve. Factor in the nostalgia and this set becomes a 12/10.

This is a very very good lego set. This lego set came with a rare sound brick, and sound wave, the bird, and the dog can all transform!

Please keep the transformers sets coming! Shockwave or star scream next??

Everything is cool with Legos itself like usual however trying to make the instruction booklet cool with the grey background is a over kill, so hard to see it especially with dark color Legos..

I'm very happy the way it looks, it comes with two extra attachments, great gift.

It’s fantastically made and fun to build/play with/have displayed

Each transformer that Lego puts out pushes the building experience to the next level. Soundwave and his companions do not disappoint. The mechanism that opens and closes the cassette area is spectacular. Transforming these models after the build still requires a bit of patience, especially since they are built out of Lego block. I love this line of products and I am looking forward to building the next one in the series.

This set is amazing. The build experience was fun, the play features are amazing, it doesn’t break easily like Bumblebee, and both forms look amazing. Overall the only downside to the set is the price due to things like the sound block, but if you have the money for it I’d say it’s worth the buy.

from the cassettes to the the iconic sound brick this set gives it all to lego and decepicons lovers alike. they could not have started the evil character line with a better choice if you ask me. soundwaves has been my personal favorite since i was a child.

Love all the transformer builds so far , soundwave is a great addition. Just wish Prime and Bee had sounds as well. Although looking at my shelf there is a gap for a certain someone …LEGO ??? When is he arriving?

I understand that this warning label is required, but Lego should figure out how not to destroy the box. I used to collect Lego sets, I would build it, but the box was still part of my display. Lego needs to stop using coin batteries, go to AAA or just remove the features that the Lego set doesn’t need, or sell a separate “lighting kit” with the huge warning label on it. I want my box art back, it is disgusting that I have to try and import sets at a premium cost just to get a box without a label that takes up almost a 1/4 of the cover.

It’s awesome that there is more transformers being made. They are great builds and the fact that they can easily switch between forms is great.

Have this to my son for his birthday and he love it.

Great build. Need more Transformers Lego in the future

Great build. Used to love transformers when I was little

I absolutely love everything about this set. Soundwave comes with both yellow and red eyes and the voice box is a great touch. The rush of nostalgia as I put this set together was amazing. The only negative was the instruction book. The steps were easy to follow but the dark gray, glossy pages, with the super dark colored bricks made it a bit of challenge at times. That's the only negative I have.

This build is like a videogame, constantly drip feeding you with satisfying dopamine, as the first few bags are the cassette transformers, and the detail and transforming complexity is wild, and after that, you're building the cassette opening mechanism which, again, is so satisfying. The transformation of Soundwave is great too, especially the legs. One of my favourite ever sets.

Great build but lacking in stability. I would like the radio to be smaller for accuracy
