    I wonder why Battle Changers never got a wide release, but a limited stealth release. It's one of the best ideas for Kre-O, and after putting together Bumblebee last night, I really like the little things.

    Anybody find a Ratchet vs. Soundwave and/or Bumblebee they're willing to part with? Found all the other battle changers at Marshalls around Baltimore, but can't find those last few anywhere.

    I spotted some of these at my TJmaxx yesterday. I was going to pick them up but I realized I didn't really have room for them in my collection. They won't fit in my display cases with the rest of my Kreons. I have the SDCC sets so those will have to do for me. the Grimlock and Hound sets did look cool though.

    I have a Ratchet/Soundwave that I'd be willing to offer you. PM me and we can coordinate shipping/payment.

    Yeah, like I mentioned before Starscream is the only one I'm after now. That is unless Blitzwing/Drift magically show up! Haha!

    Has anyone done an LDD of them? I'm sure with all the Botcon pics we could figure out what parts are needed???

    Another thanks to gotrei! Got my BB and Shockwave today!

    I have to drive an hour out to one of our remote locations tomorrow for work. My first priority? Seeing if there are any Marshalls nearby, of which I found two haha. Maybe I'll find another one of the elusive Starscreams!

    The back of the Shockwave box does not show Starscream on it and all four sets pictured are in stores, so it seems Starscream wasn't included in this release wave.

    I saw Grimlock, Shockwave, OP / Megatron, and Ratchet / Soundwave today. I grabbed the Soundwave set.

    Honestly, I think the fact that I even found one between about a dozen stores that I've hit up til now was a fluke. A really lucky one at that.

    If anyone can pick up Battle Changer Bumblebee for me, that would be great.

    My Marshall's still might have a Shockwave and Prime vs Megatron, if you want to trade. Or I have some other Kreo's for trade in the Kreo thread

    Yup! I actually posted about it a few pages back. I've since then been to a total of about a dozen stores now, and he's literally been the ONLY one. It's no wonder he's been so hard to find.

    I know I am resurrecting an old thread, but I found Battle Changers Starscream at TJMaxx yesterday. I just checked this store in January and nothing. If you are still looking for him, you may want to start hunting again!!

    They only had one. They also had the single Optimus, several Grimlock and Bees.

    I found a Kre-o Battle Charger Optimus Prime at a Marshalls. Hopefully, I can find Starscream and Bumblebee to complete my collection.
