Kre-O's - Crack In A Box

[KillinSpoon]

Yeah, I don't really find the bot modes too good but the vehicles are pretty amazing for what they are.

I bought Prowl today but I didn't even have the chance to open the box before my mum ran off with it, saying she wanted to build this one! The addiction is contagious.

Someone build a mutant Kreo! Get bits from several sets and combine them into a monster.

Has anyone here actually done that? I really want to see some photos!!!

What a nice mum...my mum would just dust my TFs away and blame me for not behaving like a girl, lol

I think Lego's worried about competition... I just saw this (somewhat misleading) ad on Google...

LEGO® Transformers - Action Figures that Transform!
Buy Now at the Official LEGO® Shop

What were you searching on Google, to get that ad to come up? I was trying a few different permutations, but the closest I got was this:

Latest LEGO® Toys - Discover Toys You Can Transform | LEGO.com

...which isn't as bad as using the actual "Transformers" brand name, but they are still trying to cash in on any interest in Kre-O by consumers who don't realise it isn't by Lego (by saying that they (Lego) have ones that can Transform - something you wouldn't automatically associate to Lego, as their products are more a 'building' theme than 'transforming' theme).

The gloves are definitely off between Lego & Hasbro, with both companies now aiming to poach consumers of their rival's markets (Lego with their boardgames, Hasbro with their Kre-O).

following up on this, I saw an ad on tv this morning before leaving for work for meccano that specificaly mentioned space battle vehicles that transform!

Maybe it's because I've seen my interest in Transformers wane somewhat over the past couple of months (Man... I never thought I'd say that!) but I really don't see the point of these. If you could build it out of lego and they had engineered it in a way that you could build the robot, then transformed it to a car/plane I may be interested but pulling the thing apart and rebuilding as a vehicle=pointless when we actually have proper Transformers imo... but different strokes for different folkes so enjoy them guys and girls

It may have been mentioned elsewhere (only just started reading about these Kre-o's) but I didn't realise this was the case. I was slightly warming to the idea of getting some - more specifically Prowl, but I'm with you Bartrim, what's the point if they don't actually transform

Can't say anything against that as I was thinking exactly the same about only two weeks ago but now I'm breaking my wallet to buy them...no good reason at all, just because they look good in both mode.

I may regret, who knows...atm I'm loving my Prowl and Ratchet.

One word- minifigs

Speaking of which, the SDCC exclusive Optimus minifig is awesome
