interesting...looks like what would have been a 3rd warriors assortment. Not sure about the Soccer BB. I'll definitely check into these. Also as many were searching for TR Brainstorm at Walgreens my local ones had microchangers series 4 still. The packaging said 2016...so I assumed they were part of the rereleases with the new tampographs, but the packaging still had the serial # which distinguished which figure was in each packaging. When I saw series 1&2 at dollar general, they did not have these....?

Here's some sudden news from a line that most may have forgotten: Transformers Kre-O Battle Changers have been spotted at Dollar General store (the actual location is not given by the source, user Eddie of Talk Transformers)! And not just old figures again, but two new sets entirely: check out below images of Shockwave and Grimlock, plus newcomers Ironhide and Megatron!

Interesting. My local DG has had repacks of older stuff for a long time. If it would have been the proposed Blitzwing & Drift Triple Changers, or the BB and Optimus Combiners we never got I would have been all over those....
Maybe then there is a sliver of hope those unreleased 3rd wave of warriors kreons might show up there?

These are really interesting. I guess Hasbro sees a viability in market 6 stores. There were also RID sets that apparently were never released.

We have some brand new images of some Transformers RID Kreo sets. While the original post is in Japanese, we can gather that several characters from RID will become Kreo figures. Optimus, Bumblebee and Grimlock and Sideswipe will get three different colorations making a total of 12 figures to collect. The actual source is Eddie Mendelez, snakas just showed the images.
Also upon translating this article it is important to note that these figures were found at Dollar General. So if you are around Japan it might be worth it too have a look.
Let us know which Kreo figure is your favorite on the boards.

The same poster as the discovery report of Kre - O battle changer the other day, this time also found shops in Dollar General.

Looks like they'll have knee articulation. Neat.

"Sideswipe" looks more like Knock Out in my eyes.

And elbows. These are based off a China exlusive line that was made for a kids show.

Good to see Kreo-O is not entirely dead. I was not aware Dollar General existed in Japan. Should I eve bother checking my local store? They had many of the repack sets, but haven't seen anything new like these. See my want list, I'm still looking for the unreleased Series 3 Warriors...

Awww, yeah, more Kre-o! Can't wait for these to show up.
WreckerJack: Sideswipe's resemblance to Knock Out is no coincidence; that helmet was originally made for a Knock Out Kreon. They didn't seem to make Sideswipe quite as red here as he usually is, though, so the similarities kind of add up.

OK, that's good, makes a lot more sense. Also on my recent vacation I was able to visit many a "small town" USA, and noticed many of them had a Dollar General, kind of cool.

So glad I found this (hopefully not dead) thread. I've recently acquired the Class of '85 set and I want to know: once opened, can it be resealed?

What I found from a review was that is claims to be resealable...... I never opened the one I own so i can't speak from personal experience although I am sure someone on this site probably has that actual answer. Great find though. I Loved this line.

I am a huge Kreon fan, unfortunately I didn't feel qualified to respond because I never opened my class of 84, or 85 set either. For the longest time it was my goal to collect all the individual TF Kreon mini figures (not counting humans).
The last time I counted, I had everything released from 2011-2015, and it was 354 unique individual TF Kreon's. Of course I never got the unreleased "Warriors" series 3, or the Soccer BB, or some of the later customs that started showing up in family dollar/dollar general stores. Also i was really saddened that we never got a class of 86 set, but by that time, the writing was pretty much on the wall.
