Can you PM Fastdraw which walmart it was you found the Missouri at? I think he would want one for that price.

Also, have you guys seen any of the 2012 Hero Factory sets on sale at Walmarts? Just asking since I rarely shop there but am looking for the 2012 sets on clearance. Thanks.

 

Speaking of rare kre-o's HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD OR SEEN THIS ONE ANYWHERE? IT'S HOUND!
I heard he was changed to Springer but the chest piece still exists so surely the Kre-o does too???

Only thing I can say is check the clearance section at Walmart, they usually have a few let over Kre-o boxes, however both my Walmarts n Targets r whipped clean of all Kre-o, I guess they're getting ready for the new line up unless my State is like 3 years behind which is the way it seems here -_-

 

I messaged him. I have one of those $5 off coupons they stuck on a lot of the sets so I could grab it for $30 plus tax.

 

Hound himself never got released for some reason, though his helmet has been re-used a lot.

 

I did, and the Walmart here also has a few different hero factory sets on clearance, though I'm not sure which ones because I don't really pay attention to those. I only know they have them since they were next to the kre-o clearance items.

 

Just checked ebay, who wants to spend $200 on an Orange Devastator? THAT WAS A GIVE AWAY IN CANADA, come on people!! >:-(

 

$200 for a kreon? That's insane. For $200 right now you could probably buy every TF kre-o set out, minus devastator.

On a side note, does anybody have an extra matrix Optimus prime kreon they wanna trade?

 

Pm me the location of the Walmarts where you found hero factory on clearance. I'm only interested in the hero factory. All caught up on kre-o right now.

 

The guy has 2 of them, too. lol

 

200$??? Holy Friojlies, that is an insane price to pay. Some people are just way too stupid with their money and the things they want to 100% complete a collection, I mean seriously, this is a Kreon it's about three inches tall at most.

I'm glad I got mine for free out of sheer luck, too bad there was only one there I would have tried to maybe get 2 at least to help a fellow collector out. Oh well.

I'm a bit behind on my Kre-O collecting at the moment, that might change come February. The Missouri was 30$ at local Wal-Marts and somehow they were all gone before I even had a chance, damnit, I want that battleship! Perhaps one of the less frequented Wal-Marts will still have a few in the clearance section.

For anybody interested and who hasn't yet seen them here are the links to my Kre-O Review Threads on our sister sites in Canada.

I'm going to be attempting to get my Sentinel Prime review up by the weekend, and once that's done a review of Micro-Changers Preview Wave with Special Guest.   Then I'll have to start picking up more Kre-O sets along with the LEGO I'm buying to continue with the reviews.

In case you were wondering, Cycle Chase has it's own review thread because I didn't think to merge all Kre-O reviews in a single thread until after I'd gone and posted it.

From 2011 just need Optimus Prime and perhaps eventually the Matrix Chest Kreon version of Prime too. Though he isn't a priority.

From last year I'm missing the Missouri, the Missouri Alien Showdown, both Devastator sets, Street Showdown, Stealth Bumblebee, Battle for Energon and the promo Battle Boat Hasbro's Comic-Con booths were giving away. Plus the Energon Bumblebee Kreon although honestly clear blue Kreons don't really interest me too much.

Micro-Changers have started popping up around here, unfortunately the stock is limited and the budget isn't there for them yet, but I certainly can't wait to pick up all of Wave one and the Gestalts, I wonder if Hasbro took into consideration the Not-Blind Packed Combiner team members and found a way to include them as alternative builds for the combiners? That would be damn sweet.

 

With Kreo on discount over here, I finally picked one up..Megatron!

Good fun, and the mini Kreo Transformers are really fun  

Megatron himself...only built robot mode so far. Good fun, but doesn't look too hot. Will try some alternate builds later on.

Truck mode looks ok judging from the package.  

So happy with this! I did fudge up some of the stickers though   I've always been terrible at applying those.

 

yea for the big megatron I prefer truck mode to his robot mode, though neither are anything special. I like the megatron that comes in the Battle for Energon set so much better, it looks proportionate, and both modes look great.

 

im enjoying the new kreons as i mostly only get those, but these whole chest pieces are pissing me off. why couldnt they have made them like the jet vehicon where there is no piece over lapping the chest? the have all these nice details then end up covered up.

im just going to cut the fronts off anyways but still odd they did it this way.

 

there's also a piece on pick-a-brick that is exactly what your looking for, for $0.25 each

 

Bludgeon can be transformed.
Robot to Tank
Rotate waist so toes are facing backwards
Bring the tank treads forward
Bend legs into place
Rotate turret

Now for weapon storage....

Edit, it helps if you have the treads upside down in robot mode. Just realized that's how I built him... oops... XD

 

Initial Thoughts on Warpath, Singe and Airachnid... Great trio of Micro-Changers, odd that Airachnid is actually some sort of spider and not her helicopter form, although I suppose it could be worse.

Initial Thoughts on Constructicon Devastator Combiner, pretty impressive, wish those tac vest parts hadn't been used for robot kibble storage, although I love the lime green color on them, the Tac Vest is one of the better looking molded pieces out of the Kre-O Battleship line and I just can't get enough of how awesome it looks. No way in Primus' Allspark would I cut the thing up, purposefully breaking a toy is not something I go in for.

I'm a tad concerned about the new Hands as it were, apparently the Micro-Change Combiner Kreons aren't useing the bent at an angle wrist/hand connectors, so the hands are perfectly straight and don't stress out the wrist socket areas too badly. (In theory.) But I find just by removing their weapons for conversion to vehicle mode from robot that already the poor purple plastic is stressed to the max. (Or rather noticeably stressed at any rate.)

I really love the Kreons, I think they're wonderful, but I really wish Hasbro and Oxford could figure out how to make the damn hands so they don't break, stress out, warp or crack from repeated use. Mirage already has one useless hand because his cracked. I rarely have issues with stressing or breakage of LEGO Mini-Figure hands, why is it so hard for Hasbro to capture that same quality to avoid numerous pissed off older fans and sad kids?

Even when a Kreon is holding a LEGO accessory it seems like the hand is just too rigid or something to hold it solidly without causing issues.

 

I found 1 tonight on clearance for 50% off ($34.50) and I used the $5 off coupon. Not bad. It will go nicely with the Joe sets.

 

Now eBay is mocking me, 2?!?!? Orange Devastators! but $200 is just a lil, no WAYYYY OUT the Kre-o financial plan haha, but man that sucks  

ANYBODY NEED BLUE ENERGON BUMBLEBEE? OR A SDCC MATRIX PRIME OR IRONHIDE WITH OR WITH OUT THE KREO?!?!? Check out my eBay page  

 

Nice find, same price I paid
