I wonder how they're pulling this off considering that Kreos aren't getting released til the 1st.

I was meaning to put these up earlier (yesterday), but a Youtube video I was uploading literally took 12 hours...
So without further ado:

Precisely my thoughts. Looks like I'll be picking up even MORE WFC toys...

I'm kinda tempted by Kre-O Mirage, but I know it's a gateway toy towards becoming a Lego addict, and I've seen too many Ozformers fall prey to those addictive blocks. :D

Kinda off topic, but I just saw the Kre-O Transformers ad on Fox8 and it looked awesome. I wasn't really planning on getting any of the Kre-O sets but that ad made me want to get a set. Damn advertising.

So does the sale extend to the full wave (bar the huge Prime?) or just the ones in the catalogue. The sale prices make Mirage a good buy (once postage is added to the US price) but all the others seem cheaper still noline after shipping.

Oh....that purple WFC Megatron is just begging to get a headswap with Universe Galvatron. And I've been going past a Toys R Us everday.

I saw the big Optimus Prime set for $129 at Target today so the TRU price is still cheaper than Target.

I hope they have all of the first wave. Or is that all of the first wave? Either way I'm buying a bunch of Kre-o stuff this weekend!

I completely understand. My lady would kill me dead if I came home with a bunch of Lego or Lego like products.

I may be able to sneak one or two in.

I think I may pick up a Mirage.
I want the kre-ons but not the generally crappy looking robot/vehicles that come with them... :/

Do you know which one comes with Soundwave dude? :o

Sentinel Prime ;)
He also comes with Sentinel and Thundercracker.

Seriously, the minifigs are sweet. They should just release them :P

Really? :confused::(
That sucks as you'd think he'd come with Megatron or something, I don't wanna buy that slaggin' traitor! :rolleyes::mad:

I agree they are sweet, but they'll never sell the Minifigs separately... The sets would never sell then. :p

Shockwave comes with Megatron.
Sentinel, not Optimus :P
Clearly they have the wrong business model then!
If they just made G1-esque minifigures they'd sell a bajillion of them, even at the same price as LEGO minifigs. Imagine blind bagged Kre-ons.

But noooooo, let's chuck in sub par construction block designs...
God dammit, Jazz better be the same price as Mirage also xD
I'd pay the US prices for them, they seem pretty fair to me.
Prowl is one of the only semi-good looking ones and at $20 I'd go there ;)

Yeah, but do you get one of these for collecting all the Kre-O though?

TRU Penrith did not have the entire first wave, but they did have most of it.

Missing Prowl and Ratchet, and the smaller Primes were hidden behind some Starscreams.

They look very good on the shelves, but there were no "holes" in the display so maybe they are not proving to be very popular as yet?

They literally just came out. Don't judge the sales within the first week :P
