Lego’s returning to Cybertron for its latest big set, but with a twist: after giving us the Autobot leader Optimus Prime and one of his most loyal soldiers in Bumblebee over the past few years, now it’s finally the turn of the Decepticons to get their brick-based glory. Except it’s not who you might have expected to get that early honor.

This is the third transformable Transformers build of its kind. A LEGO Optimus Prime debuted in 2022, and a LEGO Bumblebee debuted in 2024. But this is the first time that a villainous Decepticon has gotten the full-scale LEGO treatment, and it is the first time that a LEGO Transformer came with companions that interacted with the base model.

The 1,505-piece Soundwave set includes sound effects and Ravage and Laserbeak cassettes.

The 811-piece Disney display model is part of Lego's commemorative series celebrating the 100th anniversary of the animation icon.

The newest addition to the Transformers line of LEGO Icons is Soundwave, the G1 Decepticon who transformed into a cassette player.

LEGO lovers rejoice — one of the largest roving fan shows dedicated to those colorful, quirky little bricks is coming to the Tri-Cities. Brick Convention promises to bring “all of the creative hands-on, minds-on fun of LEGO building and experiences” to the HAPO Center in Pasco this fall.

The officially licensed fast-paced strategy game had already received an early Prime Day deal, but Amazon has slashed the price again.

It doesn’t take wizardry or special spells to see how good this Amazon Prime Day deal is, especially if you have Harry Potter fans ages 8 and up in the house. The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express & Hogsmeade Station is 34% off for Prime Day, bringing the price of this fun playable model with 9 minifigures down to just $86.
