Things have been a little dry for Kre-O fans in the U.S. during 2015. Now they are starting to look up as we've been getting reports of RID Kre-O and Kreon Battle Changer sets hitting Marshalls and TJ Maxx in the U.S.

Podcaster ScottyP sent us images of the Transformers RID Optimus Prime Beast Blaster set for $14.99 and in the background you can see the Bumblebee Disc Demolisher set. He found these at Marshalls in Raleigh, NC.

You must have an infinite amount of patience to transform those Battle Changers or at least some glue. They are frustrating to say the least.

Really? I don't think they're always intuitive by any means but I haven't had any trouble.

Stopped at the TJ Maxx next to my local comic shop during lunch hour, nabbed the Strongarm Capture cruiser. Also saw the Sideswipe RiD set, Battle Changers OP vs Megs set, and the individual Battle Changers of Grimlock, Hound, and Shockwave. Guess it's a safe bet that all 2015 Kreo is going to/has hit Market Six, only thing still unconfirmed is the Kreon Warriors (wouldn't bet on seeing Wave 1 at this rate) and RiD Custom Kreons.

I bought the Optimus Prime Vs Megatron set and prime constantly falls apart while transforming.

Prime is bad. Bumblebee is a little better. The only other one I would want is Starscream. I've heard some of the builds are a little better but you also can't man handle them

I picked up OP v Megs at Retrocon this passed weekend for $16. My kids spent all weekend playing with them and the DBZ & Ninja Turtles Lego figures I got there too. They may not be aesthetically the best but they're the perfect size to fight Vegeta and Shredder. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for the others. If they knew there was a Grimlock one, my girls would never let me rest until I find it!

There is a Ross & a Marshalls right next to each other near my work, and another Marshalls near my home. I found several of the Battlechangers (Grimlock, Hound, BB, and Ratchet v SW) and several of the BB disc Demolishers. Sadly I already have the BB Disc Demolisher, and I am not interested in the battle Changers, becase they don't have a "True" Kreon Build. But I'll still keep checking back. I still need 3 of the 5 RiD Kreon Build sets (Optimus, Sideswipe, & Strongarm)

The RID Optimus vs Underbite set is loads of fun. I recomend it to anyone who likes Kreo!

Man, so weird. I can see having trouble with them, but just moving things gingerly and watching the positioning of the ball joints has made it pretty easy on mine. Maybe some had some crud parts included.

I think if you like Kreo in general, their not having a traditional Kreon build shouldn't stop you. I'd recommend one of the cooler sets like Shockwave, Starscream, or Grimlock to try out. If you still don't like 'em, only out $8 at that point, and you could always re-box it and return it.

Yes, very much so. Underbite is probably my favorite non-Kreon Kreo thing they've ever put out.

No worries there. Although I am collecting these with the goal of obtaining all the individual Kreon mini figures, my son loves the sets. We are building a huge display with Lego's as a base. My son gets all the sets, so I'm sure he would enjoy the Battle Changers, they just aren't a priority right now. With the 2015 RiD items so hard to come by, these findings in the U.S. at greatly discounted princes, are very much welcomed.

I'm sure everybody has a slightly different system. But I am trying to collect every unique individual Kreon Transformer (not collecting human characters) (i.e. I know Optimus w/ matrix was issued 3 or 4 different ways, I only wanted one of them).

My "Master List" currently shows 354 unique individual Transformers Kreons, of which I currently have 343, only 11 more to go woo hoo!

Well I managed to find Soundwave vs. Ratchet earlier at a TJ Maxx, and I'm definitely not disappointed!

Ratchet really needs heels, but I like how he looks in robot mode, and his altmode is adorably boxy without be a square on wheels or (super) obviously a robot doing yoga.

With Soundwave, I'm a little less crazy about his altmode, it's a bit awkward, especially with the Cassetticon gang all aboard, but his robot mode? Oh I love it. I love everything about it, and then you add Laserbeak? It goes from good to great. And then you add Ravage and FRumble for a full on Super mode? It's GREAT, just so good! :APPLAUSE:

Well done, Hasbro. This whole concept is fantastic, and I hope they continue to do more of these.

Soundwave is definitely the winner of the bunch. It's also a great way to get Rumble and Frenzy Kreons if you don't have the SDCC Class of '84 set and who wouldn't love Kre-O builds of Ravage and Lazerbeak. The combining of them all is just icing on the cake.

Found the Transformers RID Optimus Prime Beast Blaster set for $14.99 at the TJ Maxx near my work. They only had 1, but they had more of the BB sets, these seem to be almost plentiful now, at every TJ Maxx & Marshalls I go to. Now thankfully all I need are the two smaller RID sets (Strongarm and Sideswipe) Hopefully these will show up at a store near me soon.

Additionally, I did some research on the term "Market Six" since I had no idea what it meant. It appears Transformers fans are the only ones that use it anymore, but TF wiki has an interesting write up about it if anyone is interested.

Got this set purely for Frenzy and Rumble, but the Battle Changers themselves are pretty cool. Might have to grab Shockwave if I ever see him.

Only part that has trouble staying on is the "hood" on Ratchet's ambulance mode.

I guess Shockwave was released at some point, since I've seen them on eBay, but I've never seen Drift or Blitzwing anywhere.

Also I wonder about the Optimus & BB combiners that were shown at Toyfair. Admittedly, they did not look that great, I was just curious if these were just something that never went into actual production?

Re: RID Kre-O and Kreon Battle Changers Hitting Marshalls and TJ Maxx (1728239)

Shockwave definitely got released, people have reported buying them from TJ Maxx/Marshalls/etc.
I don't think Drift, Blitzwing, or those combiners ever got past the Toyfair displays.

... but with how Kre-O keeps popping up at discount stores, who knows?

Shockwave and Hound were the last released so far.

Confirmed worldwide Kre-o releases so far in 2015 (excluding some promotional stuff I'm bound to forget about!):

Kreon Warriors Waves 1 and 2 (blind bagged)
Battle Changers Waves 1 and 2
Battle Changers "vs" sets
Robots in Disguise Building Sets (5 of them) and Custom Kreons (4 of them)
Botcon 2015 exclusive set
Market Six "Brick Box" releases, mainly repackages of 2011/2012 building sets with only Bumblebee and Megatron having anything new (redeco Kreon in each)
Market Six releases of some 2011 building sets in generic "Transformers" packaging
Takara Gashapon Kreons, so far only evidenced to be re-releases of some previous Hasbro Microchanger Kreons
AoE Dinobot Custom Kreon wave (may have released late 2014)
SDCC "Class of 1985" set
"Winter" Optimus Prime (Toyfair 2015 handout, thank goodness I got to go!)

So far "announced" but not released anywhere worldwide (that we know of):

Battle Changers Wave 3 - Triple Changers Drift and Blitzwing
Kreon Mini-con/Nightmare Fuel Combiners - Terrorcon Bumblebee Swarm Hivemind and Horrorcon Optimus Primal Clone Fury

Posted by o.supreme on September 23rd, 2015 @ 1:19pm CDT

That list seems pretty thorough, and accurate from what I've seen/read. I just thought that initially Battlechangers Drift & Blitzwing were also part of wave 2 (along with Hound & Shockwave), but obviously they aren't.

Greetings,

ok so before the crash yesterday, I was asking for help on finding some elusive Kreon figures. Here specifically is what I am looking for (none of which are currently on eBay)

http://kreo.wikia.com/wiki/Wild_West_Optimus_Prime

http://kreo.wikia.com/wiki/Knight_Megatron

http://kreo.wikia.com/wiki/Elite_Optimus_Prime

any help is appreciated. Thank you

My sets of the Kre-o combiners Defensor showed up today! They were on sale on Amazon.com for only $3.00 each, so I got 2 sets. They're tons of fun! Since this is my first time actually getting any Kre-os, I'll just do a mini-review of them, to share what I think about them in general. They're DEFINITELY not as good as Lego, but the minifigures are tons of fun. My favorite one is probably Blades since he requires little-to-no taking apart to transform. Hot Spot is amazing; I love the printing on him; he's so G1 accurate.

(btw picture is taken by me.)

Now I kinda wanna get that Kre-o Groove... Idk. Since I have two sets, I actually was able to make a Groove leg out of the spare parts, and make Defensor mode WAY more G1 accurate. I had Blades as the right arm, First Aid as the left arm, "Groove" as the right leg, and Streetwise (Streetsmart) as the left leg. Also I did a LOT of modification in the building process, and I didn't even hardly look at the instructions to put him is gestalt mode; I built it my own way. Maybe tomorrow I'll post an update pic of him after I rebuild him as Defensor. I actually used Hot Spot's helmet, and Streetwise's face for Defensor mode, just to be more g1 accurate.

There are a couple parts though from this Kre-o set that don't fit together, and they just pop off on their own just sitting there, so I wasn't even able to build Streetwise 100% according to the directions, and had to modify it a bit. That is DEFINITELY knocking off a couple points. It's okay for me in particular though, because since I'm hugely into Lego, I have plenty of replacement pieces.

Over all, I'd give this set a 6/10. If you actually want to make the gestalt mode PROPERLY, then you will at least need two sets; the way they put Defensor together is below my building skills, and g1 accuracy preferences. Since he is only $3.00 on Amazon at the moment, I'd definitely recommend picking a couple of this set up! I'd just advise you once again to at least get two or three, because you may also need a couple spare parts, cuz one of mine came with a couple defective pieces.

I'll try to post a pic soon of my own take on his Defensor mode, and how I like to build him. Bye bye for now!

The Wild West OP and Knight Megs I just had to wait for on eBay, they come and go. Elite Optimus, as has been discussed previously, is just gonna be a long hunt. Not a lot of them out there, or at least, those that are probably went primarily to kids and not collectors that'd be selling them off online.

Found this commercial online for the Optimus & BB combiner teams:

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mV_iQNzPMAM

*hoping* this is an indication these will be released at some point...but doubtful.

Also the Hasbro investors meeting yesterday revealed a new non-TF Kre-O line based on a Chinese Toku show, available only in China (logically), so though it hasn't been made official, I'm guessing this is pretty much the end of the line as far as TF goes. I wouldn't be surprised if SDCC 2016 has a "Class of 1986" set, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't either.

btw i think it's Lego! & not Kre-o! although the seller does use the name Kreon in the title for his items

It's definitely a mashup of brands. There are Lego, Kreo, and Tenkai Knights parts all together.

I REALLY like the Tenkai Knights based cassetticons! xD

btw i love his Omega/Guardian Robot + his Sky Lynx looks waaaay better than the CW one! Fort Max Battlestation/spaceship mode looks cool as well as Scorponoks scorpion mode, Trypticon's dino mode looks good.

It's a dead link and is going nowhere. Might need to fix it

well it works for me!

so dunno why it's not working for you

if only the seller would get his bloody prices sorted out! coz if you were to buy 3 of those figures....it would come in at around £50 upwards or so! now granted proper Lego/Kreon/ect sets aren't all that cheap! but like you said....this is a mashup of all those brands + it's a custom job! so thought the price may've been a little more affordable, granted buying one figure it is, but for bulk buy....it's a little steep! even for this.

If you can get your head wrapped around a site like bricklink, you could probably get the parts required pretty cheaply. My issue with the site is that you have to agree to buy before sellers will quote you shipping (because they have to quote you unique shipping amounts) unless you take the time to message them first, but they don't always reply in a timely fashion.

Thanks to our fellow staff member xRotorstormx we have a new image of a special Kreo combiner set that has been found in the United States. This set was found at a Dollar General and contains the Kreo combiner versions of Superion, Menasor, and Bruticus. Now you must remember that these sets are only 4-member gestalts and each is missing their 5th member, but the combiner process here does not require the 5th member and you can go out and find that member separately. In these cases, it is Blastoff, Wildrider and Slingshot who are missing from the sets. Check out the image we mirrored below for your enjoyment, and as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries!

Yeah, kinda hard to buy the 5th guy now...

I mean, it was always a pain finding both the Combiner set and the individual release, but still.

No sightings of the three pack butt, there are single packs with blastoff as one of the blinds.

It is a pretty weird coincidence that the missing members in Kre-O align with the replaced members in CW: Quickslinger, Brake-Neck, Groove, Blast Off... Nosecone got a straight redeco, so he kinda counts too (then again, so was Lightsteed).

Hrmm...I thought this was reported on over a month ago? Maybe that was most other sites. Anyway...yeah there is a dollar General literally within walking distance of my house. They don't have the combiner sets, but they have several other repackaged building sets, and the newly re-tampographed microchangers series 1. I've debated getting them because I purchased other Kreons with fewer differences than these, but decided ultimately not to. Hopefully we may see something new in the future, at least a SDCC Class of 1986 set, but I am not holding my breath.

I may have to hunt for this. I already have two of the missing members, just would need to find a Blast Off for completeness.

I've been snatching up some of those re-packaged Dollar General sets. They're interesting; I've so far only opened the "Wheeljack versus Knock Out" set, and the instruction pamphlet is a new printing that omits the robot builds (which are also not shown on the box). The set itself, however, has all the original pieces, so you still get Wheeljack and Knock Out heads, plus a bunch of ball joints.

A bit of interesting news for you Seibertronians out there this evening, coming from a seller off of Chinese auction site Taobao. It seems some unreleased Kreo figures have made there way to the site, specifically different warrior variants of Bumblebee, Optimus, Ultra Magnus, Grimlock, Megatron, and Starscream. These, in addition to an interesting "Soccer" Bumblebee figure, have never seen the shelves of retail, and aren't expected to any time soon, so if you're a Kreo completionist, this might be the time to jump on these Kreons. Check out the figures in the photos below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com, your ultimate Transformers resource.

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.
