Transformers Kre-O lives! TFW2005 boards member almightymaximus has reported a retail find of some Kre-O Battle Changer figures including Bumblebee, Hound, Shockwave and the Optimus Prime vs Megatron pack. These sets were reportedly priced at $7.99. Other sets found were Cell Block Breakout featuring Bumblebee, Galvatron Factory Battle, and Sideswipe Roadway Rundown.
These were all seen at the discount store Marshalls in Connecticut.
If you’re still collecting Kre-O, start hunting!

I found a Kre-o Battle Charger Optimus Prime at a Marshalls. Hopefully, I can find Starscream and Bumblebee to complete my collection.

I know I am resurrecting an old thread, but I found Battle Changers Starscream at TJMaxx yesterday. I just checked this store in January and nothing. If you are still looking for him, you may want to start hunting again!!
They only had one. They also had the single Optimus, several Grimlock and Bees.

Starscream ever become available in the U.S.

Yup! I actually posted about it a few pages back. I've since then been to a total of about a dozen stores now, and he's literally been the ONLY one. It's no wonder he's been so hard to find.

Oh, so you did find a Starscream gotrei?

If anyone can pick up Battle Changer Bumblebee for me, that would be great.
My Marshall's still might have a Shockwave and Prime vs Megatron, if you want to trade. Or I have some other Kreo's for trade in the Kreo thread

Honestly, I think the fact that I even found one between about a dozen stores that I've hit up til now was a fluke. A really lucky one at that.

So one random person said they got a Starscream and nobody else has seen one….hmmm…

I saw Grimlock, Shockwave, OP / Megatron, and Ratchet / Soundwave today. I grabbed the Soundwave set.

I actually have an extra Bumblebee from a batch sent to me. PM if you want it!

The back of the Shockwave box does not show Starscream on it and all four sets pictured are in stores, so it seems Starscream wasn't included in this release wave.

Got my shipment from Grimlockimus. Thank you!

I have to drive an hour out to one of our remote locations tomorrow for work. My first priority? Seeing if there are any Marshalls nearby, of which I found two haha. Maybe I'll find another one of the elusive Starscreams!
protostar8
Yeah, like I mentioned before Starscream is the only one I'm after now. That is unless Blitzwing/Drift magically show up! Haha!
Has anyone done an LDD of them? I'm sure with all the Botcon pics we could figure out what parts are needed???
Another thanks to gotrei! Got my BB and Shockwave today!
gotrei
I have a Ratchet/Soundwave that I'd be willing to offer you. PM me and we can coordinate shipping/payment.

I spotted some of these at my TJmaxx yesterday. I was going to pick them up but I realized I didn't really have room for them in my collection. They won't fit in my display cases with the rest of my Kreons. I have the SDCC sets so those will have to do for me. the Grimlock and Hound sets did look cool though.

Anybody find a Ratchet vs. Soundwave and/or Bumblebee they're willing to part with? Found all the other battle changers at Marshalls around Baltimore, but can't find those last few anywhere.

I wonder why Battle Changers never got a wide release, but a limited stealth release. It's one of the best ideas for Kre-O, and after putting together Bumblebee last night, I really like the little things.
