    Default Japanese Capsule Kreons next year

    The next set of Capsule Transformers toys in Japan will be Kreons, to be released in January/February.

    There will be 12 of them, of Gen1 Kreons that were released in build sets or Custom Kreon sets.
    None appear to be different to the Hasbro versions, but might be easier for people to track down the Kreons without buying the build sets.

    Optimus Prime (Custom version)
    Bumblebee
    (Custom version)
    Jazz
    Ratchet
    Red Alert
    Mirage
    Megatron
    (Custom version)
    Starscream
    (Custom version)
    Shockwave
    Skywarp
    Thundercracker
    Soundwave


    The Custom ones look weird, and probably should have been their regular versions.
    Most of them were released in the 5-pack Mystery packs. The only ones that weren't are Shockwave, Ratchet and Thundercracker.

    A chance to get the Thundercracker Kreon! Do we know if they're blind-packaged or have some indication?

    They might be colour-coded capsules... but are usually semi see-through.
    If you are wanting to buy just a particular character, the seller should have photo proof of the contents before selling it.
    (the capsules come out of vending machines in random order, so if you want a particular character, you'd have to chase up a secondary source, or keep buying capsules until you get the one you want - if we end up having these here)

    Some specialty shops can sell it by set in Japan, although i am only good at first capsule (which is usually what i want) the second and consecutive one are always duplicates
