    On Nick's 16 Weeks of Cyber-Sweeps website, there is a "Build-A-Bot" game. The load page for this game claims to offer a "special Kreon Transformers mystery figure (approx. retail $4.99)" to the first 10,000 people to finish their robots. I finished mine today, they started flashing happily, and I got a "CONGRATULATIONS" message and a "Click here to redeem your prize" button. I clicked and it took me to Transformers.com's main page.

    THE MAIN PAGE. NO SLAGGING "KREON MYSTERY FIGURES" FOR MILES.



    ... Is it just me, or did they lie?

    I don't think the congratulations was for winning the free toy so much as they were congratulating you for completing the build.

    The prize is the Optimus Prime Kreon, presumably the one from Botcon. His sillouette is on the opening page that has the text you're talking about.

    Also: this week's contest is the "win a private screening" prize, so I'd assume that the Kreon prize was a previous week, and has already been given out.

    I am having the same problem too.

    But I am wondering if this could be the reason http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/415309-2011-botcon-kreon-apparently-isnt-exclusive.html

    Im guessing the free website kreon is also matrix prime. And I think there might have been a mistake. Instead of this going to who is resbonsible for the giveaway, it could have gone into distribution.

    It wasn't last weeks offer. They just released the last parts today. Either they are out or they made a mistake when directing to another page.
