You can't feel these like Lego, as Kre-o uses more basic parts. Lego uses more custom made parts for the figures and much easier to figure out. But this doesn't matter much, as they seem so hard to fine on shelves anymore and only at Toys R Us. So, I just pick the ones I want off E-Bay and save my time and gas. Oh well! >:oP

Yeah, forget that.

There were even additional characters I would grab that I didn't originally want just because I knew who was in the bag and was able to decide on the spot.

But totally blind guessing? I'll just save my money. :-(

That sucks, but if someone is picking up a case I am happy to go in together and split the bounty. PM if or when this happens and we can work out the details.

Here's an idea: bag swapping. What I'd do is grab some baggies on a regular basis, and trade the doubles for ones I don't have. Like we all have done with like presents in cereals or snacks when we were young (like the Dutch and Belgian youth with Flippo's :lol:

).

If mailing isn't a problem for you guys maybe we can start a Kre-O Microchanger Trading Thread in the B/S/T forum?

That's a great idea but there's two problems:

1) how would shipping be handled?

2) there aren't even case assortments so say Sunstreaker might be rarer and then the question is raised is it worth an even trade with a Gears?

I wasn't sure if the news about the new micro changers being totally blind bags was true until today. I found the newest wave of GI Joe blind packs, and these are totally blind bags. In fact of the. 3 I got I already have a double.

I'm just throwing up my hands at this point and saying I'm done. Not worth the effort.

Maybe it'll be different now that they're "true" blind bags, but from Wave 2 of the TF Kreons all through movie Wave 1, every case I saw, either purchased or freshly put on store shelves, had 2 of each Kreon.

I can tell you that was not the case as I know Kup was short packed in whatever wave it was in. I only know this because I tried to look for fellow WOJM host Mike and he clued me in.

Maybe I've just been lucky, but I've found two of each character per box in every wave after the Preview.

Weird, I split that wave case with someone and the box had exactly two full sets. Could be mistakes made here and there I suppose.

That's a possibility as I can't see Hasbro paying people to stuff boxes and make sure there's one of every figure.
