    Picked up Galvatron from target for $4 (pretty good for what you're getting) and I am quite impressed, although he is 100 times better without the chestplate.
    I might get Sunstorm too, since he looks alright.
    They're not perfect, but they fit as nice little display pieces, that look awesome in groups. The alt modes aren't too flash but then again, who here can honestly say that they're going to display them in alt mode. (not counting doubles)
    They get a tick in my book. I honestly might start collecting these kreons.

    Did anyone else have a helluva time trying to shove Scorponok's forearms in?!? Mine ended up with several stress marks on the plastic as a result. :/

    Once I tried with reasonable force I gave up. I figure I'll have to do what Griffin did and sand them down. Not good quality control.

    I got Sunstorm today and my one's helmet will not go on all the way. It seems the indent for the stud is thin at one part, making it unable to fully go on.

    That's why I posted the warning in second post - but it was buried in the middle of the post, so here it is again for anyone new...

    Word of warning - just like with the Stealth Bumblebee set (in Series Two), you need to sand down the wrists of Scorponok, as they are two big to fit into the two grey cylinder, causing stress marks if you do.

    I managed to shove Scorpy's claws in, though yeah with much force and now it's got the stress marks there... better get me an extra of this one... just in case.

    I didn't have problem with skorpy. Mine all had stress marks on the forearms. As for the helmets being toil big, I just have the helmet higher up on the head.

    I've sent an email to hasbro Au asking them if they knew of the QC issues regarding the kreons stress marks and pieces needing modifications to be put together. Mentioned that it is disappointing that a company can continue to have so many general line-wide QC issues, yet do nothing to fix them, or offer any easy to access replacement service.

    Knowing their history and general contempt for communicating with their customers, I doubt I'll get a response, but time will tell.
