>>10203161Maybe it's 1500 pieces because it's actually trying to look like Optimus Prime in both robot and truck mode and not do the bare minimum of resemblance for him. Yeah you could make an Optimus Prime with 1/10th of the parts at 1/10th of the size, but it probably wouldn't even look 1/10th as good.
>>10203180Explain what makes it a bad set. So far all you've complained about is the price (Which while high isn't that awful compared to other Lego sets released this year) and the lack of articulation (Which again, its unfair to compare a plastic robot made of 1500 parts held together with friction to an action figure assembled with glue and metal screws/pins.). What about it makes it a bad lego set?
