Lego Transformers Optimus Prime

It’s hard to imagine a more perfect and irresistible mashup of ‘80s pop culture and toys than Lego releasing a 1,508-piece Optimus Prime. It’s like something engineered in a lab to lure ‘80s kids back into toy stores, and while Lego could have totally phoned this one in with Prime limited to either robot or truck mode, the fact that this model actually transforms, with a step-by-step process that’s almost identical to the original Transformers toy, makes this one of the best Lego sets of the year.
