    It's not Lego. It's just Lego-like. (And Lego compatible apparently?)

    They could be repacks of Built to Rule toys and I'd probably still buy them to get the included G1 mini-figs.

    Kre-O and Rescue Bots sound weird but i guess they want to appeal to a much more wider audience. I mean we got RPM and Speed Force or Stealth Force as Hot Wheels like stuff.

    They're no different to the Iron Man/Halo Megabloks and the like.

    Pass on those...TFs never seem to work very well in lego type format...and lego-compatable stuff is usually dire

    Its like would you rather have an iPod or a generic mp3 player?

    The Danish company LEGO didn't actually invent the "Brick" in the first place, it was a British toy inventor named Hilary Page under his company Kiddicraft.

    I'm very confused by this. How does the day of release affect your enthusiasm for the toys?

    That video from yesterday begs to differ.

    If KREO is anything like built to rule was, hasbro going to be making a mistake. They should have learned their lesson with BTR. Other than that, everything else is promising.

    Simply looking at the KREO, they are leaps and bounds ahead of BTR. Not Lego Qualiy, but a HELL of a lot better.

    I gotta say, these are looking mighty tempting. I wonder what they'll cost. If they are the typical lego costs, I'll skip, but if they are decently priced to megoblocks or similiar, I might bite.

    I love those little lego men tfs too. Those are just pure win. Heck, they should package a bunch of those together as extra sets for cheaper. =D I'd love to have a full ark cast like that, but hey, while they're at it, throw in a full on buildable ark to put em in too!

    Prime & Bumblebee will be purchased... Starscream looks mighty 'iffy', though his mini-fig is cool!

    These are actually looking pretty cool. There is some movie influence, but ultimately not a whole lot. Prime looks like he's got the Voyager Classics mold's head, lol. Depending on the price, I think I might get the Prime set.

    I'm kind of surprised that they're going with the g1 heads (although at least bumblebee's body/car is is more movie/prime accurate).
