If you're having trouble finding those Kreon blind packs, be sure to check out the discount toy isle(s) next time you're in Walmart. I'm serious. Makes no sense for them to be there since they're not on sale, but that's where I found an *entire* box of them.

Be sure to look carefully~! The box was shoved to the back of the shelf and was absolutely BURIED beneath stuff. I only saw the top of a Kreon illustration. I actually thought it was a Kreo box at first and pulled it out simply for curiosities sake... then had a mini fan-spasm and laid all the bags on the floor so I could look at the numbers xD

I'd open them up and show pictures but I have a few siblings who are strapped for cash and with my b-day coming up (and them bugging me for what I want) I figured I'd ask them if they were interested first.

I do have a question though... 3 of the guys I picked up weren't on the guides. Anyone know which Kreon's are in these bags? All the numbers on the guides are 21451 related. These are 21511... I might be blind and am missing another guide, but that's why I'm asking.

The other 3 I nabbed are, supposedly, Spinster, Galvatron and Waspinator. Didn't see the other three 214 numbers there.

From TFW:

redguyver wrote:There are currently 6 different ones included in the case. I have taken the liberty of buying and opening the blindpacks to confirm which numbers match which kreon, I listed them below: the only difference I have is the numbers on the outside of the packages :
21451 *0 : *CrankStart
21451 *1 : Scorponok
21451 2 : Waspinator
21451 7 : Spinister*
21451 8 : Galvatron
21451 9 : SunStorm

This is compared to the normal i.d. Numbers we saw earlier/ top corner of instructions . These numbers are nowhere to be found anywhere on the packaging . But I listed to numbers you will see on the bottom front of blind packs .

The last numbers are the same, so you got a Crankstart, Scorponok, and Sunstorm.

So is it just the last number that's important, not what's in front of them? Guess that would make sense. Thanks!

let us know if it isn't the case. it's entirely possible they slipped some secret variants in without telling anyone. or just changed up the numbering.

Was able to open up two of the three oddball numbers. They're exactly as Noidea indicated. Guess Hasbro decided to play with the number system a bit. Haha.

looks like i am double checking a bunch of WM clearance aisles more thoroughly now.

Place like K-Mart will place blind packs at the front of the store near the registers.

Target tends to place the packs in the aisle.

Wal-Mart just chucks them randomly.

So just the usual, right?

*sorry, looks like i'm a week late to this one*

I picked up my set of six about a week ago from Wal-Mart (6/21 - Fall of Cybertron Day). If you're looking at your local WM, most probably they are in the middle of a HUGE reset and things aren't necessarily in place yet. Make sure to look very carefully in the isle with the Legos, the box may have been placed outside of the Kre-O realm.

But, at least they are finally finding a place at retail, so good luck hunting folks!
