Okay- I have seen Kreon Megatron, Sentinel Prime, Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Mirage, Prowl, Starscream, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and a few others in stores. I have to say- these things ROCK! I am (impatiently) waiting for next pay day so I can nab a few but I gotta say these are probably the coolest Transformer toys to come out in a while. I find myself swept up in what I like to call Kreon-mania. The playsets, transformatiions, the little Kreons themselves, it all creates such a cool little G1-esque world. I mean some of these are outstanding (Optimus, Sentinel, Megatron, Starscream- just to name a few). The articulation is amazing for a "lego-based" toy. My wife has been looking at these with me and even she agrees that they are cool as can be. I'm just excited for these things right now. I think we as Transformers fans should do ourselves a favor and start picking these up so they keep making them. Seriously try them out because they really are cool. Not to mention these are ten times better than the DOTM line! I never thought I'd see a day where I was wanting to collect "lego-based" toys. Thanks to Kreon Transformers I can say I've been won over. These things have made me more excited for a Transformer toy than I have been in years (other than Leader Ironhide) They look like a blast and I for one will be collecting as many as I can.

Yeah, these guys are awesome. I put some in the photo blitz section....feel free to add to that also.

They are the cutest things ever!! I may not buy the sets, but I am after the guys. I got Skywarp and Bluestreak. Just paid 15 bucks for Starscream, which I should be getting in the mail this week. I had to get him!

They are indeed adorable. Enough so to get multiple threads.

I'm one short from a full set, not counting Hound and Ironhide.

However, the vehicle mode Kre-O sets are ALSO fantastic. Why no love there?

I'm only short 3 and would love to go buy Optimus Prime, but not till next month. With SDCC looming I need to save for that right now.

Any news on Ironhide and Hound as to when they're coming out?

I'd love to see them do the cone heads also.... Thrust, Dirge, and Ramjet.

Not yet. Maybe one of them is the mail-in reward for that build-a-bot promotion? I have yet to get that Kreon prize, which is true for everyone as far as I know.

I fear that if Kre-O doesn't sell well enough for a second wave, they won't get released at all.

I just got my 1st Kre-O set!!! I just got Prowl as Target seems to be selling them in their stores now. I found Prowl, little Prime, Sideswipe, and Bumblebee. So Target is selling them now and just not online like I had thought. I can't wait to build him. I'm going to build him in 'bot mode and display him like that. I think I'm more happy that I have his Kreon version.

I friggin love Kreo-Formers!!! i bought Sideswipe a week or so ago just to see what the fuss was about. After an hour of putting him together I ran back to TRu during a B1G1 %50 off sale and snagged BB, Mirage, Jazz and prowl.. These things are addictive.. Great way to kill time too! Im holding off on the larger figures because they take up alot of space and I need to make more! The little kreo-Shockwave is the coolest one IMO

Sun Jul 17, 2011 8:22 pm

I have to say this, but the commercial for these is too damn funny!!! I love at the end when Kreon Bumblebee kicks Kreon Starscream off and Starscream is like in pieces. Like his leg is missing or something, lol.

I'm Sold!

I don't know if you'd remember or old enough but when I was a kid they had books that you kind of made the decisions... it would come to the end of a chapter, then you would have to make a decision. (does the person do this..... turn to page xx....or does the person do this? turn to page zzz) I'd like to see them do video games similar sometimes cause it would have different outcomes and not get boring so fast. You could go back and choose different actions that would take you different places.

Never read those kinds of books but I know what you're talking about. That would be cool if vid games could be like that. Hell a really good TF RPG game would be cool.

Oh, and I just was now able to open up my Prowl and I so want to put him together.

Prowl is built!! I think I like these kre-o's better than those BTR sets that were out years ago.

I just bought Jazz. I almost missed him. I didn't realize how small a box he came in after seeing Megatron and Bumblebee's boxes.

How much was he?

News Credits: 1 · Mon Jul 18, 2011 9:32 pm

a little over $12.00 with tax. Not too bad. The box was about as big as basic Bumblebee so I almost over looked it.

Was that like the mini one? The one without the kreon? Or did his come with it.

Yeah, Jazz the Kreon came with it. Had to do that photo movie scene once I got him home. Tomorrow I'll go see if I can find Prowl and Mirage.

For that price and it came with his kreon isn't bad. I need to look for him. I wish I didn't max out my Target card, these kreons are like the new plastic crack, hahaha.

Yes- that's exactly it- they are like Transformers crack. It's ridiculous but I really can't wait to start collecting these things come payday (looking at grabbing either Megatron, Starscream, Sentinel, or Optimus) I love these Kreon sets!
