One thing that LEGO never failed me is that the quality is always top notch. What see at the packaging, you're gonna get 98% accurate to it. Clean mold, sharp printing. Nice colors.
I've collected Micro Changers, some Kreo sets and combiners, but they rarely come out satisfying to me. Their tampograph, especially silver is very poorly aligned. My recent purchase Obsidian has quite an amount of misaligned printings. A micro changer I got Trailbreaker, which I liked because of the nice chest print I see in the packaging, well the print is horribly misaligned.
So far the very VERY best Kreon i got was Jalguar from Series 8 i think. That Kreon has nice colors, and super sharp printing. I could stare on it all day long.
I see Kreos are improving, now with actual transforming figures, and I'm glad. Hopefully they work out with this printing issue, especially their silver printing. I wanna enjoy collecting them.
Give it time. Lego has been doing this for a LOOOOONG time without any real competition in the building block department. If Hasbro keeps doing their Kre-O's then we'll see an increase in quality with them. Of course, Hasbro makes most of their money from other toy lines, so Kre-O, being relatively new, might get the axe if they need to do some cuts.
