Soooo, dunno if this has already been brought up, and sorry if it has. I've been hunting around for these little guys (in Denver, CO) and every time I find em' the codes are all different than ALL of the codes others have posted :BOOM: ...anybody else having this issue?

Nope none at all, I've always gotten the right Kreon from the right pack. Are you sure you're looking at the right list?

Interesting, yeah I even checked different posts, but they all match each other, I wonder if it's a regional thing :-?

Are you looking at the right spot on the package? It's not the bar code you need to look at, it's printed in front:

This is the one for Galvatron.

I wish i would have caught this. I got a total of 8 packages, all being 2 of each. But I did get a springer and warpath, so i'm cool...

I believe wave one now has the code on the back, top right.

And only the last one or two numbers matter.

Galvatron is number 8, for example.

on the new wave with Springer, Warpath, etc the numbers are on the top right of the back of the bag.
The list inside has them in order of the numbers, but the pic on the back of the packet is out of order.
Singe - 40
Inferno - 41
Springer - 42
Warpath - 43
Quickslinger - 44
Rampage - 45
Insecticon - 46
Blast Off - 47
Hook - 48
Dirge - 49
Airachnid - 50 and finally
Bludgeon - 51

I've got all of these and can confirm the numbers were correct for the box I saw.

And when you go into a Toys R Us you can ask up front about this stock number 908376 to see if they have Kreons in stock. Thats the number they have in the system for them.

I can't vouch for all TRU stores, but every time I've tried that, I've been told that they don't keep extra product "in the back" - that it's unloaded from the truck and put onto shelves. If it's not on the shelves, they don't have it. At least, that's what they tell me.

Stores like Target and Walmart keep stock in the back, but I'm not sure TRU does.

Yes, if you can't find them, they can look up this number to see if they even have them. I couldn't find any at the closest TRU and went up front with an old stock number for them. They corrected my number and located them for me in the store...... a place I never would have noticed them..... but good luck in searching. I'm still missing Dirge..... :BANG_HEAD:

Guy, maybe the staff at your TRU are just super-efficient and never leave anything from a delivery in the back for someone else to put out. Guess they've also got a decent turnaround that there's always space to put the stock.

I think my TRU still has GI Joes from the first film clogging up shelf space.

Thanks to craggy, I was able to find an Arachnid and Dirge, which also were the last of the Mohicans with a Warpath that I already had. I hope more are to come. I actually dig these guys....

Only the last two numbers matter. Those are the ONLY ones that matter.

Awesome! Just checked the duplicates packaging that I have of wave 1 and they all match up! Thanks for the insight on this, now the hunt continues for Warpath, Insecticon, and Rampage!

Whoever writes the next news post should REALLY emphasize that fact. I don't recall if the last one did or not.
