    For those neck pieces that allow you to attach bricks:

    On the Lego Pick-a-brick, try Element ID 4210469. That will get you the gray neckbrace with back stud (you can order it for 25 cents per neck brace, plus shipping). On other brick sites, you can find it in a lighter gray and in black.

    And if you plan on making original figures, I also recommend stocking up on Element 4211585 (the basic Lego minifig head) in Med. St. Grey and some waterslide decal paper.

    IIRC, he's basically the Seawing torso with Bulkhead's limbs and backpack, with the rest of the parts coming from the Abominus set.

    I found Wave 4 Micro Changers at Walgreens except they do not have any identifying marks to help me know what is in the inside. I want a Cyclonus so bad but i ended up with two Icebergs. I only saw the number 43001. Anyone else have this problem i thought they always stamped them until the last wave!!!

    There are actually some silver linings to coming in this late. Ebay is chock full of people unloading their collections, and there are mind-blowing deals if you order sets of figures from Chinese sellers (potentially KO versions, but you can barely tell the difference). If I knew then what I knew now, I could have skipped all sorts of large box sets to acquire kreons that would be re-released...or picked up in eBay lots at a fraction of the price.

    Made a Kreon based on my old FoC MP character, Conspire:
    [​IMG][​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    He's a medic (hence the syringe) / black helicopter conspiracy nutter, which admittedly is a strange combo. I suppose he wants to check for any SECRT GUBMINT INPLANTS to prove himself not insane... or merely make sure there is always a witness/'human' shield.

    That's a lot of "Back to the Future" references in there! :lol 

    A shame, though, that half the set are repeats (or bots I've made customs of). I think it's a bit better than last year's set, but still not quite "worth it."



    EDIT: Also, it seems Swoop has now been officially renamed "Strafe" on all fronts since AoE... which went with "Strafe" since their Pterodactyl Dinobot didn't resemble the original. Yeah....

    Only a handful of those even interest me. Think I'll stick with customs.

    This will be a great set for those just jumping into kre-o...although, I'd have appreciated more new characters for us old timers. (Some of these repeats could have made room for Twin Twist, Reflector, Roadbuster, Whirl, and deluxe Insecticons.)
