    BBTS had them for preorder at $34.99 before the 2 price bumps. I've got mine ready to ship and was locked in at the $34.99 price. My PoL has been sitting in the warehouse for 4 days now.

    Don't forget that there is a member of each team not included.
    Each set is 4 Kreons, and the combiners are built using these 4.
    However, the 5th members are available in the blind packs (no 6th member Constructicon though -- no Long Haul).
    I think by now there are fan builds of every one of them incorporating the 5th member into the combination. Haven't picked up the others yet, but here's some pics of my Bruticus with Blast Off added. This config gives him a nice brown arm, as well as puts Vortex's blades on the side.

    TRU does do a BOGO 40 or 50 off building sets pretty frequently though, so hopefully some time in the next few weeks there will be an opportunity to get these for relatively cheap. :)

    Not getting endorsed by TF Source or anything but that is the best price, even with shipping it's still a little cheaper in store especially since there wasn't any sales tax.

    Sales tax in my area is 9 or 10 cents I am surprised they didn't mark them up more.

    Shame that we aren't getting Menasor. Hopefully he'll be in wave two.

    Yeah, hope we see a Defensor and Menasor for wave 2.

    Also, are there any non-G1 combiners? I'd like to see Kreo expend its universe.

    So has anyone found these at a store that isn't only in 4 or 5 states?

    I was at a Meijer in Indiana yesterday and there was a shelf tag for them along with a "new item" tag, but in their space was just about 15-20 Autotroopers and Vehicon sets. :(

    Nice find!


    Though, I'm far too lazy to go hunting them down. I just jumped the bullet and bought them from TFsource. I can't wait for those little buggers to crash-land on the front porch!


    I want to see their takes on the Operation Combination toyline. You know...Kreo Battle Gaia, Kreo Sixturbo, Kreo Sixwing, and etc.

    I'd love to see Tripredacus, Magnaboss, and Rail Racer get Kreons, though I'm not sure how they'd handle the 3-man combiner team aspect. Maybe add a 4th bot? I think Tarantulas would fit with Tripredacus, given he's already an agent of the counsel and an arthropod (and purple),even if it renders the "Tri-" nonsensical.

    Movie Devastator would rock, too, though he/they don't really translate well with the typical humanoid frame Kreons are pretty much limited to.

    EDIT: Kre-O's version of Devastator. Kinda redundant with Scavenger and Scrapper being based on their G1 selves, but Kre-O Devy is made up of 4 bots, and it'd be cool to get little versions of Drill Bit and Hightower.

    Trying to find pics of each of these with a fifth member incorporated but not having much luck outside of your post.

    You have any pics or a link? Really curious to see these.

    I just found Predaking and Devastator (as well as the BH Optimus Prime) in a Meijer in Auburn Hills Michigan today too.
