LEGO absolutely NAILED the design of Soundwave, and if you've had the Transformers toy, you'll immediately recognise just what how well LEGO adapted it.

Here's a look at LEGO 10358 Soundwave compared to the Masterpiece Soundwave (MP-02) and the 40th anniversary Soundwave in robot and cassette player form!

Special thanks to LEGO for sending this review copy over.

Here's your first official look at the 10358 Soundwave, coming 1 August 2025!

Soundwave comes with Laserbeak and Ravage Cassettes that also transform AND a Sound Brick which plays dialogue and sounds from the cartoon!

I'm honestly such a fan of this design, and as a big Transformers fan, I think LEGO have absolutely knocked LEGO Soundwave out of the park. I can't wait to share my review!

Following the presentation of the official British Grand Prix golden trophy, the winner will receive a gold-adorned LEGO Trophy, comprised of over 2,717 LEGO elements, weighing over 2kg. The 2nd and 3rd place podium sitters will receive white LEGO trophies with red and blue detailing respectively, while the constructor's winner will receive a dark blue and gold coloured brick-built trophy for their cabinet.

For our next August 2025 Speed Champions review, automotive correspondent Vaderfan takes a look at the lime green Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat!

This set has NO stickers, believe it or not!

The Speed Champions wave saw 10 new sets released at the start of the year, but all of them were renditions of the 2024 Formula 1 cars, so it’s actually been a while since we’ve seen a regular Speed Champions set that isn’t based on a film or F1. However, the August wave brings a […]
