    Can't wait for my Botcon set to ship/arrive, looking forward to owning those wonderful Kreons, and my first SG figure, even if it's just in Kreon form.

    In anticipation, I now list the entirety of my Kreon collection currently owned.

    Micro-Changer Blind Bags:
    Crankstart x3
    Scorponok x2

    Just need a few sets more to finish off Battleship and Star Trek, mostly the largest, expensive and exclusive ones. Loads of Joe sets to get with the 50th and other stuff that CND TRUs haven't stocked period. I hope they didn't cancel any future orders since they've been sitting on the first wave sets for so long. (Currently on Clearance so I'm nabbing the other three before Summer's end.)

    As far as Transformers are concerned, I'm missing large and exclusive sets from most of every year. Haven't gone after any of the D&D stuff yet, aside from blind bags and possible the single release figures I might not get any of the larger sets.

    And last, but certainly not least...

    Miscellaneous & Exclusive Kreons:
    Constructicon Devastator G2 Orange
    Orion Pax
    Predaking Combiner
    Bruticus Combiner
    Abominus Combiner
    Superion Combiner
    Defensor Combiner
    Devastator Combiner
    Piranacon Combiner x2
    Optimus Prime Custom Kreon
    Ironhide Custom Kreon
    Megatron Custom Kreon
    Starscream Custom Kreon
    Lockdown Custom Kreon
    Machine Wars Souvenir Set Botcon 2013

    I'll do a proper count eventually to go off the grand total, plan on nabbing all the combiners a second time for individual robot mode displays.

    Think I'll do a video with my new Laptop and post it on Youtube by the end of the summer, once I've exhausted my Kre-O collecting for the rest of the year.

    Must be close to 200, kind of wish I had the ability to create a site similar to Brickset for Kre-O, I mean it deserves something similar honestly even if it eventually winds up dieing a painful death as far as brands are concerned.

    I had this Brawl/Vortex mix body lying around so long waiting to turn it into a Astrotrain, but since they don't seem to be making the parts I'd need for that I thought I'd make Turmoil instead.

    Looks good! I wish the "bat" wings were like that from the start, they're unnecessarily huge.

    So for those who have the Customizer wave (Hound, Cliffy, Dreadwing, etc), where have you gotten them other than ebay. I have a buddy in Beijing China and I am wondering if there is anywhere over there I should have him try to look for them.

    My tru restocked. All aoe customs, 2 boxes of wave 3 with no sharkticons, 3 boxes of aoe wave 1. Grabed a Cheetor because I wanted his yellow helmet for something, Nightbeat (who I guess is actually Punch), Trypticon, and Jetfire.

    Anybody have a line on a Counterpunch Chest decal I could print as a sticker? Or at least know the size of the decal / dpi i need to print it on?


    Start of some more G1-esq Terrorcons

    From what I've been reading on here, it looks like walgreens is the only place to find wave 4. Can anyone confirm/deny/elaborate?
    I was able to get a full set of movie wave 1 at TRU, but that is all they have, along with some straggler wave 3. I've never seen wave 4 in the wild. I'd hate to miss the wave before it gets buried by the next one.
    Any info, thanks guys.

    I still have not seen Wave 4 at TRU despite hunting for them. I still see new boxes of Wave 3 opening up alongside AOE Wave 1 at my local TRUs. Walgreens is the only place I have seen Wave 4, and were plentiful at least up to two weeks ago.

    I just wish Walgreens carried the Custom Kreons to have a decent chance at Wave 2. I wonder if they just weren't produced because of under ordering or if they were all sent to the China and southeast Asian markets. I never caught them online at either HTS or TRU, so don't know if I just missed a window for online or if they never actually hit online.

    Picked up some more figures yesterday, nabbed Battlenet Bumblebee finally (Captain Fanzone for the win!), two more Skrapnels, customise kreon Drift and a Drizzt D&D Warrior Kreon on clearance for 3.98$ At that price I'll grab the other four soon enough.

    The Kre-O Predacons should have been included in the Character Encyclopedia.

    Got any wave 4 around? I could use some, especially duplicate Barrages for my Insecticon army.

    After seeing AoE, I really want a Galvatron now.
    And to figure out how to make a 2-headed Shockwave.
