The circle is complete ... Lego rips off Kre-o that ripped off Lego

Aww, this is lEgo's usual pattern, but I think if any of the, coulda pulLed pff transforming brick builds, it woulda been Lego...

I wouldn't really consider Kre-O a ripoff of LEGO. It's in the same vein as Mega Bloks and K'Nex's building blocks. It's basically LEGO, but they get different licenses and have some different parts. On the other hand, this is definitely a suspicious-looking LEGO set.

from the looks of it it doesnt transform so im out. Yeah im sure the lego ones will be better but if i had to chose id go kreo since they include actual transformer heads. But until either line make the "figures" transform i could care less.

L-A-M-E

I thought they would make Transformers Lego's right after the Slizer figure line.
Which lateron became Robo Riders, and then Bionicle and now Hero Factory.

Slizers did kind of transform to fit their space ships AND THEY DIDN'T NEED RE ASSEMBLY TO TRANSFORM. This what they're doing now is kind of silly.

Lego ripping off Kre-O is like the pot calling the kettle black, despite the basic building brick design being in Public Domain.

Seriously though, so it has a few similarities, and already you guys are yelling rip-off? I never heard you guys complain about certain 3rd Party toys....

The Throwbots folded in half and tucked their arms away. Not much of a transformation. The...Vahki? Whatever their names were, the drones from Bionicle 2004, they had a bit more transformation. They turned from biped to quadruped by bending backwards and flipping their arms and heads around. LEGO has never been much for engineering actual transformations, since the whole point of LEGO is to build and rebuild in different ways. That said, a non-partforming brickformer (from anybody) would be awesome.

hey people why so many complains?
if lego wants to make Kre-o like sets, let them do it, since as you said, kre-o is itself a rippof of lego
and about the quality of lego or kre-o
i think they are similar, i had some years ago some lego parts that broke just 2 montsh after, and i havent hear anything bad about kre-o.
and whata bout the kreons? just because they are g1? thats it?
c'mon if you really whant a transformable robot the build it(is possible in both, lego and kreo)
and if you dont wanna to spend your time building it, just buy a regular transformer figure and thats it

Hey, if you want a brickformer, just hit up ebay for some G1 stuff.

looks like this but better bot mode

Hilarious. Friggin' hilarious.

But I'm not a fan of building blocks, so neither Lego or Kre-O is going to get any money from me.
