    I just got 4 Series 4 Microchangers and they are awesome! I've got Rodimus, Demolisher, Barrage, and Iceberg. Great little additions to any collection.

    Does anyone have a 2013 Kre-o Joecon set and/or the Transformer customs wave 2 set that they would like to trade for a 2014 Kre-o Botcon set? I picked up a few Kre-o Botcon sets this weekend and would like to make a trade. If so PM me.

    I'm starting to get tired of the Mirage helmet being used for nosecones, can't they mold some new snubnosed jet helmets, or new helmets period for the Transformers? It's been 4 years, a new jet helmet would be appreciated, I mean why don't they use the conehead helmet? We haven't seen that one used outside of Thrust, Dirge, Ramjet and Powerglide.

    The really sad thing is that Powerglide didn't even use one, he had that Mirage helmet.

    Hrn, Sea Spray and Blackarachnia both have Decepticon insignias. Going to have to scrub those off.

    Also, looks like Sea Spray uses the that standard shade of blue, as opposed to one that is more accurate to his toy. Which is fine by me, I was going to replace his helmet with the scuba diver gear, now I can give the helmet he comes with to my Skids custom.

    Still wondering where Sunstreaker and Runawhatever's chest decals come from. They seem very Prime-esque.

    And yeah, this wave is pretty heavy on the Mirage and Hound helmets. Wouldn't mind seeing alternatives for both.

    That's an amazing set!



    But I could live without it. Rumble and Frenzy are the only ones I'd want out of it. I wonder how much they'll go for on the aftermarket ...probably something unreasonable.

    Guess I have to hope someone sells it for a reasonable price on ebay. As im pretty sure Hasbrotoyshop.com doesn't ship too the UK, or does it.

    But I want that set so bad!!!

    I hope I can get two sets so I won't feel bad about having to open it.
    But its honestly the only SDCC transformers exclusive I care about.

    The Knights of Unicron band has style, and I get it, but its really priced itself way out of my comfort for the joke.

    The dinobot set is a bit more expected. And they look sharp. But I don't think I would actually display the cardboard ark and I'm actually cool with the mainline dinobots super robot team colors.


    The kreo set has cityville rumble and frenzy (buzzsaw and laserbeak are tapes!). And I actually missed out on whole series two microchanger wave. So this a great way for me to get perceptor and arcee.

    I love this set so much. Even the repeat characters we have gotten before are printed differently.

    For some of them, yeah. It's weird how much more detailed new Kreons are compared to the originals. With G1 guys like these, the overabundance of detail is kinda jarring for some of them.

    Awesome boxset, though. The price is pretty good ($2 per figure plus a bunch of accessories). Would be nice to get Trailbuddy, Bluestreak (wish he weren't blue, though), Thundercracker and a few others, but I doubt the guys in this set will be sold individually often.

    And I'd hate to both double post and say the same thing twice, but:
    I put some clear tape thing on some of my Kreons' torsos and it seems to do the job, but I'm curious if this is happening to other peoples' figures as well.
