    The way I see these battle changer and rid sets moving off the shelves makes me wonder why they try to sell them here and where is all this stock of these sets coming from .

    what I want to know is where I can get more of part K101386 (the little double-sided clip that battlechanger soundwave's laserbeak uses for his neck and grimlock uses to connect his backpack to his dino torso), or if there is a lego/megablocks equivalent. Because it is the most useful piece in history.

    The Autobot Command Center was $1.98 at Toys R Us yesterday. Not sure if it was just my local one or not, but anyone looking for parts may want to check around.

    Yeah, me too. I wiped them out because even the base plates alone are worth the price.

    That's very possible I got my command center insanely cheap as well.

    Where the heck is Blitzing and Drift battle changers and the weird all Optimus and Bee combiners? Been quite a while and still not released anywhere.

    Dean - The same thing happened to me when I bought the Wheeljack/Knockout set. I called the Hasbro customer service number on the box (or instuction booklet) and they sent me the kreons. Give that a shot. If they don't have those kreons in stock, they'll probably offer equivalent kreons (like Microchangers) or a gift certificate.

    i bought series one custom kreos, not sure about why Starscream is white but I stole the wings and tail off slingshot a spare black helmet to make him more official. the others all got a helmet swap as well, oh and megatron had a hip replacement, i should swap his hands as well but the wrists dont last.

    How do you make a Kreon God Ginrai even more outrageous? By giving him a 3rd trailer to combine with!

    Did some preliminary work tonight to figure out the combination and where the parts would go in trailer mode (layout is similar to God Bomber).

    Trailer mode

    Armor parts

    Combined mode (yes, ankle tilt)

    Now expect months of revisions to refine the whole thing and possibly come up with another mode for the new trailer. Base or robot, haven't decided yet.

    Is there much of a demand for Kre-O anymore? I have the almost all of the characters from the Micro changer waves and I have all the combiners except that movie ones. I'm thinking of selling them all.

    Interesting thing I find that Chinese companies are making up new combiner sets, using mostly old Micro-Changers.

    Those knock off combiners look pretty cool
