    (Please move if this is the wrong place to ask)

    Has there been any new info about the KREO Combiner Kreon sets? PredaKing was one, I think Devastator was another, maybe more?

    Are they sold as a set? or individual blind bag? Store exclusive? Release dates?

    Thanks

    They're sold as sets, with the missing members being released as blindpacks.

    That's all I got.

    Devastator, Superion, Bruticus and Predaking.

    Sold as sets, not blind bagged, not store exclusive, release date is spring

    We just updated our Kreo resource section, here's the combiner page http://www.tfw2005.com/resources/browsecategory.php?do=searchresults&searchid=523097

    Yay Spring! Thanks for the info, now I know not to expect it for the holidays. (though maybe they will be on ebay by then.. ;) 

    So glad they aren't blind-bags, I'm burnt out on BBs...

    Wow! Glad to see the resources page, thanks for the link. They are all must-haves for me! :D

    Why sell the missing members as blindpacks

    So you have to buy dozens of blind packs until you complete your set

    How do you mean? You can use the numbers on the bags, sure. But no guarantee that the future waves will have the numbers. who knows?

    but overall, buying multiple blind packs is Hasbro's intention for the consumer.

    Well, earlier you said the Combiner Kreons wouldn't be sold as blind bags, just seemed like you had changed your thoughts on it, so I was wondering if you were talking about blind bags in general, or for the Combiner sets.

    there are 4 packs that will be sold as sets. combiner teams are 5 members or fanboys cry, so hasbro decided to put 5th members in blind (likely numbered like preview wave so you don't have to guess when buying) packs so people can add to their 4 packs and complete 5 member teams

    In addition to this, since Hasbro is kind of cheap now, they will not be releasing a Constructicon Long Haul as a Kreon (Well, as far as we know)
