Slightly off topic but I didn't know Zobovor was on this forum.

I'm calling it now. The next time we get a figure with posable fingers, the people who do the stock photos will make it give us the finger.

If they haven't done it by now, I don't think they will.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but on the new Kre-O AOE Micro Changers where on the packaging is the code that tells you what's inside. I saw tehm in SMYTHS today and I had the code numbers but I couldn't see the unique code number.

It's the right thread, those are part of the Age of Extinction Line.

I got some yesterday at the cinema of all places, they were 1$ each and just like you, the codes were not there. They actually apply a white sticker over the bar code and that sticker has the same type of adhesive that some price stickers do where you cant take them off easily (as a precaution over people swapping). I think companies (or stores) caught on to the fact that the bar code defeats the purpose of buying a surprise figure and thus (especially when discounted) they use this white sticker as a preventive measure.

But I didnt mind. I got 5 for 5 $cdn and my only double was Trypticon, sounds fair.

That's annoying, I remember I got a couple of the very first wave a while back and the number was on the front of the packaging, I was hoping ti would be the same with these ones.

$1 Kreons, WHAAT?! Where? Which theater/state/country?

[william-james88]

$1 Kreons, WHAAT?! Where? Which theater/state/country?

Ok, I will give the specifics, it is at the Colossus theatre in Laval, Quebec, Canada

If you feel any bit jealous remember the following: Quebec does not get any toysrus exclusives due to a lack of french on the packaging and instructions and they cant even be ordered online if the shipping adress is in Quebec.

Just to say that its fun to win sometimes

I could have sworn I said something about that (and the Titan Hero and Smash and Change Silver Knight Primes) being available last night. Do I get news credit?

Anyhow, ordered mine last night, looking forward to getting it in-hand!

How many have been released in this line so far? And how many ? Can someone please explain this? I was at a TRU yesterday and it just hit me like a brick.

Like few I'm not a fine of the movies and this line like all the others (but I've got some figures like any acception to any rule) before but I think that blows only showing love for Autobots like this. Is there something I'm missing or is there a method to this madness? Perhaps there will be a wave containing only Decepticons.

Yeah this bugs me some being a fan and a inside.

The only Decepticons we've heard about getting toys in this line are Lockdown, Galvatron, Stinger, and Junkheap.

All of whom are either certainly not or possibly not Decepticons in the actual movie.

And remember, Hasbro does have a penchant to labeling "bad guy" toys as Decepticons purely for Marketing reasons. Case in point: Cybertron and Universe 2008 Unicron.

[GuyIncognito]

Any idea when we might see the next wave hit shelves?

Also, any idea which wave Snarl and Slog are going to be part of?

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Ok, this is new. It turns out the Evolution 2-packs aren't limited to the US and the UK. They've started appearing in Japan, with Japanese inserts. Alfes2010 has posted pictorials of the Strafe and Dinobot Slug 2-packs:

Evolution 2-pack Strafe
Evolution 2-pack Dinobot Slug

As in the US, they're exclusive to Toys "R" Us, over there, no noticeable changes, including the G1 Strafe art

Point but I'm talking about actual figures that have already been released. Why only Autobots so far? Sorry if I wasn't clear on that.

Autobots maybe sell better than Decepticons to kids.

Because the movie will mostly have Autobots since as Bay himself revealed very few car companies wanted their vehicles to be bad guys they nearly all wanted to be Autobots

This ^^ It's more of an issue in Japan by hero toys by far out sell the villains, kids want to be Optimus Prime not Megatron.

Meanwhile, the Kre-O Microchanger waves generally have just as many --if not more-- Cons as Bots.

Oh, OHHHHH, I see what you did there. I think with the Micro changers the alternate mode is the deciding factor. Cons tend to have modes that are easier to reproduce.

Looks like we we all seeing this at different point of views! I thought Chuck meant that, since he mentioned altmodes, Decepticons were easier to produce because Kreo Bricks with wings are considered jets, and as we all know most jets are Decepticons. On the other hand I thought Sabrblade was talking about Vehicon Kreons and the movie army-builder decepticons, when he commented about the abundance of Decepticons! Man, I've always been notorious for over thinking
