What transformer toy do you recommend for a 4.5yr old?
I want to buy my son a transformer toy, probably Optimus Prime. He's only 4.5yrs old - looked at some of the reviews on youtube and they look quite fiddley and there are so many different types - movie leader, classics 20th movie, animated, movie leader class etc etc etc. Which one is the simpliest and most robust as a first transforming toy?
they seem fiddley but my 4 yr boy loved the wee barricade and bumblebee toys, plus they were only about 3 quid each. They arecactually easy to do. We never really got him a big transformer tho sorry
