Choosing between building toys is not always about picking the build with the most pieces. Here, the decision is between two very different display themes: the black, horror-flower-shop styling of the Piranha Plant Audrey II 2 Building Blocks Set and the Transformers character focus of the Soundwave kit. The price gap is $19, while the piece counts point to two distinct project sizes.
Quick verdict
Pick the Piranha Plant Audrey II 2 Building Blocks Set if the appeal is a decorative Audrey II build with a main flower, three smaller flowers, and vine details. At USD 35.99, it is the lower-priced choice. Pick Transformers: Soundwave (10358) 1505PCS Building Blocks High-Quality ABS Kit if Soundwave is the priority and a 1,505-piece build sounds more appealing; its listed price is USD 54.99.
The two sets share the core appeal of a build-and-display project with instructions, but their themes are far apart. Audrey II leans into stylized plant decor, while Soundwave stays centered on a named Transformers character.
At-a-glance comparison

Where each build wins
Audrey II wins on unusual decorative character. The Piranha Plant Audrey II set is for shoppers drawn to a flower-shop horror look rather than a conventional vehicle, structure, or hero character. Its black color, mouth-and-tongue design, and vine-covered presentation make the theme the main reason to choose it. The 629-piece count also keeps the project focused on a single compact concept.
Soundwave wins on character specificity and piece count. The Soundwave kit has the clearer choice for a Transformers-focused collection or for someone who wants the longer 1,505-piece project. Soundwave is explicitly named in both the title and character details, so the build does not ask the buyer to choose between a character theme and a decorative theme-it is firmly in the character-build lane.
Product notes
Piranha Plant Audrey II 2 Building Blocks Set, Toys Kit Horrors Flower Shop Deco
The Audrey II set makes sense when the finished look matters as much as the construction session. The design is built around a large piranha flower alongside three smaller flowers, with stickers used for details including the tongue, mouth, and surrounding vines. Choose it for a distinctive horror-flower-shop decor concept, especially if black is a fitting color for the intended display area. An instruction guide is included, and assembly is required. The main limitation is scale of the project: with 629 pieces, it has far fewer pieces than the 1,505-piece Soundwave kit, so it is not the stronger match for a shopper specifically seeking the larger piece-count build.
Transformers: Soundwave (10358) 1505PCS Building Blocks High-Quality ABS Kit
The Soundwave kit is the direct pick for a builder who wants a Transformers character rather than a plant-themed display. Its 1,505 pieces make it the more involved of the two builds by count, and the kit is described as plastic ABS with a paper instruction manual. Choose Soundwave when character recognition and a higher piece total are the deciding priorities. The package is noted as having no box, which is an important limitation for anyone who wants boxed presentation as part of the purchase. Its theme is also more narrowly focused: the appeal rests on Soundwave and Transformers rather than the broader decorative flexibility of Audrey II.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Piranha Plant Audrey II 2 Building Blocks Set for a black, horror-flower-shop decorative build with flower and vine details. Choose the Transformers: Soundwave (10358) kit for a Soundwave-centered project and the higher piece count. The simplest deciding question is whether the display should feel like quirky plant decor or a Transformers character build.
