Wave 2 Kre-O Age of Extinction Micro Changers Become True Blindpacks

Where's this at

Man, they just keep mucking up this line worse and worse. TRU-only, a bunch of wrong faction symbols, now they're taking away the easy-to-identify codes...

Granted I already have to resort to eBay/secondhand online venues for these things as it is, so it being truly blind bagged isn't directly that big of a deal, but seeing how the current AoE wave guys go for $8+ I'm kinda dreading the effect there.

Considering half the Kreons this wave use the same two helmets, that might not exactly be so easy.

Well, shit. I only really wanted Wheelie and maybe Sunstreaker, Gears, and Seaspray. Now I'm going to end up with a dozen Skalors.

No thanks DONE.

Will this prevent you from buying future waves of Micro Changers or will this just intensify the hunt for you? Sound off in the Energon Pub.

Here is a reminder of which characters are featured in wave 2.

• Sunstreaker
• Decepticon Skalor
• Trailbreaker
• Autobot Seaspray
• Scattershot
• Autobot Wheelie
• Frostbite
• Skimmer
• Decepticon Blackarachnia
• Decepticon Runamuck
• Autobot Gears
• Fuselage

They did this with the first wave in Europe as well. Hasbro lost money from me again with their awful AOE line

You can't feel these like Lego, as Kre-o uses more basic parts. Lego uses more custom made parts for the figures and much easier to figure out. But this doesn't matter much, as they seem so hard to fine on shelves anymore and only at Toys R Us. So, I just pick the ones I want off E-Bay and save my time and gas. Oh well! >:oP

That sucks, but if someone is picking up a case I am happy to go in together and split the bounty. PM if or when this happens and we can work out the details.

Here's an idea: bag swapping. What I'd do is grab some baggies on a regular basis, and trade the doubles for ones I don't have. Like we all have done with like presents in cereals or snacks when we were young (like the Dutch and Belgian youth with Flippo's ).

If mailing isn't a problem for you guys maybe we can start a Kre-O Microchanger Trading Thread in the B/S/T forum?

That's a great idea but there's two problems:

1) how would shipping be handled?

2) there aren't even case assortments so say Sunstreaker might be rarer and then the question is raised is it worth an even trade with a Gears?

I'm just throwing up my hands at this point and saying I'm done. Not worth the effort.
