Gijoe kreo set made me realize why TF kreons don't work for me.

Gijoe kreo set made me realize why TF kreons don't work for me.

For me, kreons and mini figs are the best part of building sets. With the Joes you get to build an awesome play set for the kreons to be posed and hang out on....many of which are very true to the originals. Checkpoint alpha even has sticker details that are just like the original 80s toy....very impressive.

To me the Kreo transformers you build are almost incompatible with the Kreons. They don't make any sense together. Maybe Kreo should stop making sets where you build a robot that comes with little kreons that don't work together and instead make places/play sets for the tf kreons to go in/on.

While I love the season 1 Transformers Kreons, they dont justify the price of a set, and nearly turned me off to Kreo. When I put together the Gijoe sets I remembered how these things were supposed to work. Obviously there's a lot more opportunity to do it right with all the Joe places and vehicles, but they could still find ways to do it with Transformers.

Cityformers. Give us our cute little Kreons and if you really have to put out construction sets give us a Metroplex, Metrotitan, Trypticon, Scorponox, Fort Max, Omega Supreme/Sentinels, maybe Skylynx, to scale with them.

Ok, first time ever replying to my own post on the inernets ever but I'm getting excited!
Some ideas for Transformers Kreo sets that would work with kreons:
G1 autobot base
G1 movie unicron planet
Ark crash scene
TF prime Harbinger
Rotf at the pyramid in Egypt

They actually seem to be trying to rectify this complaint.

Granted we don't really have any kind of info on this thing, besides the Kreons are based on the Prime characters. No release dates or prices or anything yet.

Hopefully we see more of these types of things. Kre-O is already pretty obviously switching focus to the Kreons. Now if only retailers would actually carry them...
