Sod the Kre-O lego-toy.

If they release all the mini G1 figures as a multi-pack, I'd be all over it like a rash.

Woah, is that an actual BLUEstreak next to Skywarp, or did someone slap the wrong color pants on Smokescreen?

Di-a...CLOnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnne.

In addition to the BotCon Souvenir figures already seen, lucky BotCon 2011 attendees are eligible to receive an exclusive Kre-O Optimus Prime figure in commemorative packaging.

According to Seibertron, the figure is given away at the Kre-O booth for registering to win a Kre-O Bumblebee set and contains an exclusive "Matrix" deco.

My thoughts exactly. Shame that such a multi-pack is so unlikely.

The Kreons are great i love them. But the giant kre-o counterparts suck. Oh well what are you going to do. I agree with you guys i would love just a pack of the kreons.

For some reason I want that Kre-O Prime item.

So far, these have proven to be better than the BTR stuff. I'm still waiting until I see them in person to make a judgment.

To anyone actually at BotCon, do the pieces and figures feel as solid as Lego, or more like one of the knock offs?

Really only interested in the 'Kreons'

Yaay. In truth I was worried he'd look a little naff like Starscream does, but this puts all my worries to rest. I might have to order two of those Prime sets so I can have one for play and one for display.

Woo, $120 worth of legos I'll never use. ~_~;

Love these lil guys. Just missing a wheeljack and once again, the Cons are short handed.

These Kreons would work well with a Unicron.

Sad to say... that particular batch of G1 characters is about when I -STOP- caring about TF's. :P

Give us the entire grouping of 1984 - 1985 TF's as Kreons, and then I'LL care. :D

I think I might end up buying all of these sets as gifts for my nephew and niece, but snagging the Kreon for myself.
