Any reason to hope that the individual character figs in the KREO line might be sold separately? Lego and Mega Blok sell figures in blind packs. Even Hot Wheels has gotten in on that market trend, along with Squinkies.

I'd like to get the KREO figs but I'm not a "builder playset" type of purchaser.
Would anyone else, be inclined to do blind packs to get the individual KREO figs?

Me being cynical here, but I doubt we'll see them released in seperate packs. Hasbro realises their popularity, maybe they're even more popular than the actual figure that they are accompanying.

Blind packs would be fun to see.

I wish Hasbro sold them separately >__< They did sell the Matrix Optimus kreon that way, so maybe we'll see more individually packaged figures in the future.

I'm sure they'd make money selling the kreon's alone, but with the line still being fairly new they might be hoping people will purchase sets, thus making the line successful. Guess you could call it a play on temptation.

I do like the Kreons, and would probably buy some if they were sold blind-packed (I'd hope they wouldn't include the "human" ones though, just the TF characters) but really, I want the Micron Arms blind-packs that Japan is getting to get an equivalent Hasbro release.

Maybe they will, but for now you resort to eBay for overpriced Kreons.

I hope they do. I like the kreons, but not enough to buy the build sets. This would also allow them to expand on them, like Beast Wars, Animated, and Prime kreons.

They're getting closer. They are releasing two smaller sets that come with many kreons. Not all of them are old characters, I most are just generic guys. Cycle Chase and Decepticon Ambush.

Hopefully, those will do well and they'll make more sets that focus on kreons.
