    A link would help, especially for some people who don't want to go through the hassle of searching them on FB.

    Cool, thanks!

    Glad to see I won't need to go through the hassle of hunting down the original sets to get the older Kreons.

    I was wondering when we would see more of these sets. I was hoping they would include the extra pieces like the Microchanger Kreons do, so you could "transform" them. I still might get the set that has Optimus and Megatron in it, but I'm less interested now. Sentinel being in the set doesn't help either. Not sure why they have Starscream and Skywarp pictured there. I thought the whole idea was that the fifth Kreon was a mystery. Skywarp does kind of make the otherwise all Autobot set tempting. He's my favorite Seeker, and the Autobots in-question aren't bad choices either.

    Custom fodder!
    Too bad they spoil the surprise figure, not that mystery Kreons stay that way for long. Skywarp's kinda out of place there, given the Autobot car theme that pack had going; was expecting/hoping Bluestreak or Sideswipe.

    Hopefully they keep doing this for the newer Kreons that came in big sets (Wheeljack, Knock Out, Ripclaw, Capt. Fanzone), even if it means waiting a few more months.

    I kinda want to get each series as they come out. I'm more interested in the Kreons than the construction sets.

    That's a very good price? How much are the packs right now each?

    The shadow in the first pack doesn't resemble Starscream though. It has horns. SS doesn't.

    So I bought all those crappy first wave sets to get the amazing Kreons and now their being sold separate?
    Argh. How frustrating.

    This is exactly what I was looking for! I missed out on the originals. Thanks for the link!

    Cool, as much as I don't really care for the sets, it will be nice not to have to knock these out (if the pictures are indeed true). Was really hoping it wasn't some weird clear variant that I needed or something.

    Are these an RK exclusive? I can't seem to find them anywhere else.

    EDIT: Whoops, never mind. I misunderstood the 3/22 preorder date.

    Ebay:
    Sad they didn't re-release Sideswipe, he's a bit rarer than the others.
    But I guess a set with Sideswipe, Prowl, Ratchet, Shockwave, Thundercracker, and some others might happen one day.

    I really need a second chance at getting Knockout and Wheeljack without having to buy the set.

    I am SO buying that first pack if I ever see it. I really wanted that Soundwave Kreon! I love Soundwave! And I also love Kreons!


    Ah, I took another look at the picture in the original post. You can see white legs with a red waist which does support it being Starscream. A part of me wishes it were Shockwave despite my being a big Starscream fan.


    Well, I'm not sure about in the US but here the microchanger bags are $3.50 each.

    that should piss off a lot of people who bought sets or overpaid on ebay just to get those Kreons. I'm one of them :D

    Yeah cool but I want them to be able to "transform" just like the Micro Changers.

    Same here, I bought the sets specifically to get the Kreons. Once I saw how much the Kreon were on eBay, it was more worthwhile to spend the money on the full sets.

    [SIGH] Guess I'll be buying these Kreon sets for display when I see them.
