For my birthday I bought the LEGO Optimus Prime set 10302 because I am a lifelong Transformers fan. I’ve been working with the folks at Lightailing and asked them if they could send me their Lightailing kit for this LEGO set. They did and so I assembled Optimus throughout the week and then I was able to add the light kit to that assembled figure.

Lightailing has two different variations of lighting kits. They have the BriksMax one that has several lines of lights that you attach into one strip and then attach to a power source. The Lightailng kits are all in one line and measured out precisely to add the lights to the LEGO set. For Optimus Prime the Briksmax set has two additional lights at the feet of Optimus Prime. While that is cool I did not really need the extra lights and I wanted to try the Lightailing set this time. I really liked it.

You can see how everything came together in the video below.

If you want to pick up the sets for yourself you can get the Briksmax Light kit for Icon Optimus Prime 10302 or the Lightailing Light kit for Icons Optimus Prime 10302 and if you want to pick up the LEGO set please consider using my Amazon.com affiliate link.

A few months ago I learned that LEGO was releasing a LEGO Optimus Prime set. I had some money from my birthday set aside and I ordered one for myself. It arrived last night and the delivery driver just put the box over the fence in the front yard despite me big sign that says all deliveries to the back porch. I didn’t realize it was out there until I looked at the delivery app saying that it was delivered. It rained and so the box was a bit damaged. Luckily I am not keeping it in the box. I’ll be building it soon.
