Good news, everyone! We have reports that the highly-anticipated Kre-O Micro Changers Wave 1 is out in Singapore. The official wave 1 includes Generation 1 characters like Quickslinger (Slingshot), Inferno and Hook, alongside other characters like Airachnid and Singe (Generation 2 Scorch!) This assortment is not to be confused with the “preview wave” currently out in the US which includes Galvatron and Waspinator.
With the assortment out in Singapore, hopefully they’ll make it to the US in time for Christmas or if not, to give us all something to look forward to in 2013.

SO! I'm excited for these… but but BUT WHAT about the combiners??? I want those 1000x more than these…. 😐

Hell, my closest Walmart doesn't even have a Kreo corner but I was able to get all six at a better one.

Yeah, I've seen Kre-O sections set out in the building set aisles in most stores, but there's such a limited selection. At most it's the new BB and Megatron/OP sets plus the troopbuilders, usually it's just old stock at full or inflated price.
Incidentally, I keep finding weird stuff hidden behind the Kre-Os. One of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, some Disney Princess castle thing, etc..

Agreed. Scorpononk and Spinister have very nice chest detail which helps set them apart, and it's covered up. Spinister was a big letdown for me. I mean, if you're going to do a super-obscure character only a fraction of the audience is excited for, like, get it right. There was a square helmet available… and the lack of a faceplate makes him some other purple copter. Though then again, maybe they figured not enough people would care. But I <3 Spinister (thanks, Furman and random swapmeet toys!).
New wave does look like there is a lot more detail. Given how nice LEGO minifigs look, and the detail put into most of them, Hasbro should try to compete. Springer looks like he gets the same lame copter chest piece that covers up details… but Blastoff, Warpath, Dirge, Bludgeon look terrific. And YES to the new armor piece for back only!

I want them noooooooooooow!!!!!!

Aw man I think I saw that set too, but I figured he was also getting a single release as well. I hate having to buy that whole set for just one single little Kreon but he may just be worth it.

I know wal-marts have them in the lego section, that's where i got mine, sadly my wal-mart only has carried the troop builder sets, the kreon packs, and the optimus and megatron set

I hope more stores carry these things this time around. Didn't see any of the preview wave guys in any of the stores I frequent (Target, 5-Below, TJ Maxx, TRU Express, local toy stores) and had to get them online.
Haven't seen the Wheeljack/Knock Out, Vortex, or Devastator sets either.

Good news is they will be, there is an easy code to follow, literally numbered from 40-51
bad news, knockout is only in the knockout vs wheeljack set, which i'm dying for my local stores to get in stock, i want that kreon

I saw the preview waves in large quantities in both Kmart and TRU, but you have to check the lego isles, at TRU they were hidden all the way on the top shelf in the Kreo corner.
While these look super awesome I have to ask what wave Knockout is in? I need like 6 of him, I really hope these will be easy to identify like last time.

I actually saw these at the counter of the Transformers: The Ride shop in Singapore last week, but as there was so much awesome on offer didn't really think anything of it!
Seriously, that shop was collector heaven – MP12, Arms Micron Dreadwing, Reissue soundblaster, Deluxe Evac. Could have blown all my holiday money there and then!

Those tricky kreo people! I see what they are doing! In the combiner packs it only comes with four kreons, so those who want a complete team needs to get these! the constructicons need two more, so I'm pretty sure that they will come out with a long haul in the next wave. Blast-off and the other combaticons are an easy pickup. too bad none of my stores get them.
antapp
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!! Happy days!!!
mastermega
I second that! already own the whole preview wave Got lucky at my local TRU they put them in the tf aisle. Hopefully it won't be long before these hit U.S. shores and the code remains, there only seem to be 24 per display box so it might b a bit more difficult.

All Of These I want.
Onslaught24
Blast Off code pls?
Grimlock_13
Definitely excited for these.
jackgaughan

shroobmaster
Oh god the tiny Bludgeon and Airachnid.
Why are those things so damn neat?
