The Playset
The playset that we got was Playset B. The weird part was, the whole thing was not assembled correctly.

We had to disassemble it and re-assemble it to make it look exactly like the instruction sheet.

After it has been re-assembled, we then applied the stickers for it:

The Transformer
We got 1B-02 which means we got Optimus Prime!

As expected of Micro Machines, the quality of this is pretty good.
The interesting part is the Decepticon/Autobot detector tool. If you look at the bottom of each of these, you will see a logo that could be a Decepticon or an Autobot.

If you use the tool that’s provided, you can “decode” which Transformer it truly is.

Overall Review
We think for $8.99, it is actually a pretty good deal to get a Transformer (if you pick the right code) and a playset.

The details are pretty good as well and the playability is decent.

Another cool thing is, you can simply pack everything up and put all the pieces back in the “box”.
