Megs actually looks pretty cool. Not sure if I'll get him, but he'll definitely be hard to resist. Especially with the Megatron and Shockwave Kreons he has. I'm assuming the one in the blue is supposed to be a truck driver, but I'm not sure what that green one is supposed to be. If I get this set, I'll then most likely get a Prime set to go with him.

Also, it's a really small picture, but that's clearly Sentinel Prime advertised on the back with Optimus and Starscream.

 

Easy there, Horatio. Put the sunglasses back on.

While it COULD be a Hasbro employee, it's more likely this item came from a focus group, test market or maybe the person who listed the item has contacts in China. We just don't know...unless the person tells us.

 

I know...I know...It was my job to dissect shit like this...so its hard for me to resist such a tempting little nugget like this.

If a deal goes through I will post my findings...and especially a review. Hell, Im sure some already emailed the guy too...I dont care, but the thought of one of those guys living right by me is pretty cool. I used to be a Rep for a company that makes video games, and it was a job requirement to have "X" amount of free space at a house or garage for merchandise. I never sold any stuff, because im loyal to the company I work for, but still..thats how it works..if you rRep vacuum cleaners, you prolly have to have at least one of every model for sales presentation, and some boxxed in your garage to sell.

I just recognize that typing....

 

Megatron and Shockwave in a remake of Over The Top? Can my dream be coming true at last?

 

is it my imagination or does the Kreon between Megs robot-mode legs look like Cobra Commander?

 

That's what I see too..


Why did HAsbro call it Kre O too close to Lego... Why not.. Kre-8 or something? Have they stated why it's called kreo?

 

It's their variation on the word "creo", which is Latin for "I create".

 

I'm sure there's a face there, but one minute with a paintbrush will fix that.

 

how big do you think this is? Would it be a substantial difference over the voyager megatron (which I love). If it looks good I might just use this for a leader, since we probably won't get one.

 

I have spoke with this person.

Im not too terribly interested in this set, but if any of you are, let me know.
I have made an offer and I was told I'll get a response in 48 hours.

I was also told, that If I meet up to buy this, I can see what else they have.....


Suspense...

 

BTW - Was this the first in-package shot of a KreO? i don't recall seeing any others before...

 

Can someone please explain to me what this is exactly.

 

This might make for a good stand-in, but I honestly think there's a good chance we'll get a new Leader Megatron. Especially with his new alt-mode. Though we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully Botcon will bring us some good news.

If I'm not mistaken, we saw packaging shots for the big Optimus, Bumblebee, and Starscream sets at Toy Fair.

 

Do you really think we're not going to get a Leader of Truckatron in the next year or two? Cause uh, we got one of Starscream in a post-movie filler line.

 

Did they tell you exactly how they obtained the set?

 

That sir...is a joke...just something to contrast the cool find

No, My offer was accepted, and We will be meeting in the next day or two.

Like I said, Im not a huge fan of these, but I DO have a 3 year old, and I know that Legos were a great toy for me. They build creativity skills, and alot more for kids, so I can just mess with it, and put it up for him, when he eventually wants some legos..or Kre-os if they succeed...

Im more interested in finding out who this person is, and if they can get more early stuff. This was just a WIERD find on CL, when I do my TF and JOE checks on CL.

 

You spent that much on one Transformer..?  

 

no..no...that was just a joke...mabye I shoulda elaborated.

That looks like a KO go-bot. I was pretty sure noone woulda thought that was optimus prime, or that I would spend $20,000 on anything like that...sorry..

I dunno if you guys look on CL for TFs and other stuff, but ive done REAL well on CL. but just like ebay, you get some of these listings like that one, that will show, say, a broken, painted Leader-1, and they will list it as "RARE, one of a kind, unproduced skywarp" and say they want $500 for it.

I actually seen that listing a bit before Christmas

Point is, CL is a hodgpodge, of absolute crap, with some real gems, and good deals mixxed in. 90% of the people I deal with are bullshitters, the other 10% are legitimate deals. Im pretty sure this one is a deal. They even knew the MSRP that this will sell at.

 

I thought it was some sort of prototype or something based on concept art. I feel really stupid. It didn't seem that hard to believe because Megatron's head had had variations, like in the comic books, so I just simply thought that this figure was somthing along those lines. Now I can stop searching google for prime figures.  

 

I have that KO and two others like him. that guy there transforms into a crane truck with a long extendable crane. the red one transforms into a firetruck with extendable ladder. Then theres a blue guy with red legs who transforms into a semi w/trailer. Each came with a pull-back "box" with wheels that was removable. I was 6 when I got them, but I'm sure my parents didn't pay $1,000, probably closer to $1 each. I'm curious as to who would actual fall for that.
