Assemble LEGO’s 1,500-piece Optimus Prime at an Amazon low of $144 before Bumblebee debuts

A new LEGO Bumblebee set is expected to launch later this summer, and ahead of time, we’re tracking a deal to get your brick-built Transformers collection started with the leader of the Autobots. Amazon has the LEGO Optimus Prime set down at $143.99 shipped. That’s 20% off the usual $180 price tag and a return to the Amazon all-time low. It’s one of the first chances to save in months and a rare chance to score this best-ever discount. You’ll get a better idea of what the new LEGO set delivers down below, though we offer a deep dive on what to expect in our announcement coverage, too.
