Received the trailer from ShowZ and built it over the weekend. You can tell it's made of KO Legos and some of the flat panels along the top just don't want to lay down completely flat but otherwise I'm very happy with it. I'm the kind of person who always wants Prime to have a trailer so this really completes the set for me (though I might need to look into that knee mod). One negative for me is that they included autobot logos but they're the colorful logos, not the toy style red logo with silver outline. I used some stickers I have but the biggest I had are the size of his shoulder symbols and are pretty small on the trailer. I could get some bigger ones but I don't know if I care enough to do so.

To be honest, at this point, I’d rather have $30 and those 3 hours than knees for Lego Prime.

For $30 and about 3 hours build time, your LEGO Prime can have knees!

Is this different from the ones we've seen listed on aliexpress?

3p KO trailers with accessories and LED kits have been around a long time. This is not new.
KO as in KO lego pieces.

Pretty cool. I like the lego Bay sword. It woulda been sick if the energon cube was clear with a light brick.

The post you quoted clearly says the trailer is listed as “coming soon.” So I would take that to mean no, nobody has it yet.

The Energon cube comes with Prime himself but until I looked at the pic I forgot too. Does anyone have one of these in hand already? I like it

Gundamit has a trailer listed as coming soon. With a name like Lebo, we're definitely looking at knock off Legos rather than an independent brick toy company like Mega so I doubt you can expect much in the way of quality. Still, I'm getting it and I look forward to having a trailer for this Optimus.
I like that it has places to store the jetpack and axe. And it comes with the repair bay robot thing and Roller. The Bay sword I could do without and the energon cube is nice but I'll never use it. All that for $80 is damn reasonable though, again, I wouldn't expect Lego quality.

Ended up scrolling through an Instagram I barely used for 30 minutes after seeing that pic

While this is very cool, it’s also not an official product.

I would absolutely love to have the main cast of characters as head busts like these. I have some of the star wars ones and I love them

Lego just revealed the Star Lord helmet. I think heads would be a great direction to go since it avoids war vehicles/weapons enterily. And with as good as this helmet looks, I think they could pull off anything, G1, Movieverse, etc pretty decently. This already reminds me of Bumblebee movie Blitzwings head design

Man I'd like Lego Speed Champions to do a Camaro or a Beetle. Or maybe have both as a two pack.

Just found this on the shelf at my local Target in MA. Amazingly it was not there for Christmas.
