New Version of Universal Studios Kre-O Set Sighted

NEST Sentry appears to be a green Beachcomber.

Which is really weird - as a Universal exclusive, why would they get rid of the character that turns into the ride vehicle? At least the other version is still there.

The change to this set was made in 2020. I thought it had been mentioned here before now, but I guess not.

The sentry being an olive green Beachcomber redeco does make some sense in a very roundabout sort of way. The ROTF Dune Runner toy that transforms into an olive green N.E.S.T. buggy vehicle was redecoed in blue as ROTF Beachcomber, so this is basically an inverse of that, enabling one to repurposes this sentry as Dune Runner if one wanted to.

I just recounted my collection. I have 356 ( almost one for each day of the year) . Completely unique Kreon Mini-Figures. The definition can get convoluted sometimes but this does not include ANY human figures, or micro (single peg) figs (Transformers only). It includes most exclusives. Also reproduced figures from 2015 and on are not part of the total, I don't consider these as truly "New", so I never attempted to get them.

What I do not have though, that I would like to get someday are:.... The Unproduced Wave 3 Warriors Assortment (12), the RiD Custom figures from 2017 (12), and the recently discovered change to the Universal Studios set which swaps out Evac for 1 new Figure (Nest Sentry).

So by my count, that is 25 more I could obtain. Lastly, although it is technically not a Kreon, I still want the Elite Optimus Prime Polybag that was a free Giveaway at TRU in Canada.

So 356 down, 25 more to obtain .

fixed...just had a dyslexic moment Probably dosen't help I'm doing this during my lunch in between pretty intense number-filled spreadsheets

Those “Class of” sets are nice. Unfortunately, i never bought any of them. During my one deployment to Afghanistan my wife sent me the OP, Megatron, and Bumblebee sets. In my off time, it was neat to build the bigger figure and go back and forth between the modes. They did make the trip back to the states but i parted with them a couple years back after i retired.
I wanted to share what i currently have in my collection. I have some characters i would still like to add but my priorities are finishing up some missing accessories for other series i.e. G1, RID 2001, Armada to name a few.

Enjoy,

I'm pretty sure I received this item at a Toy Fair, NYCC, SDCC or Hasbro fan event back in the day but I can't find anything about it by the UPC. It's a small box that most likely has a Kreon in it. It is not a big enough box for a set.

It is NOT this Optimus Prime with "Matrix" item: https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... ix/2423/1/ That item is about 3 times as wide as the item I'm showing.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Found it! It's the Energon Bumblebee kreon that was exclusive to New York Comic-Con 2012.

The box is covered by an outer sleeve that slides off to reveal the inner display box underneath.

I'm glad you guys figured it out, I wish I had seen this earlier. Yeah, just at a glance it was either the clear BB or the Orange G2 Devastator (came in the same slipcover style packaging).

I decided top finally part with my expansive Kreon collection (over 500 Kreons), a few months ago. The lines death kind of soured me, plus so many tail-enders that were really hard to get, also unreleased product. But I did have some super rare-ones, so it was nice to see them go to collectors who will hopefully appreciate them.

It would be kind of cool if Lego actually started producing TF mini-figs, but then my wallet probably couldn't handle it.
