We thought Kre-O was over, but apparently we were wrong. Some new images posted on Facebook by Eddy Melendez and reposted by Autobase Aichi have revealed a new series of Robots in Disguise themed custom Kreons. There are four characters in the assortment: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Grimlock, and Sideswipe; and each of the four comes in three different flavors: Armor Up, Blizzard Strike, and Night Strike. This essentially means each set has three different decos, the parts with each set are the same. According to Autobase Aichi’s report, these were produced in December 2016 but are only just coming to light now, and it’s noted the source is the same as the previous Battle Changers report – so these too might be creeping into Dollar General stores?
Check out the images of the sets attached to this post.

Can you post the UPC numbers from any/all of these?
Darkhawk79
No problem, I know they still have some more, I really want the night strike set but having a hard time finding the others

I wasnt aware of these until now and while I'm a big Kre-O fan, there's TWELVE of these things? That's nuts especially since it isn't twelve unique characters. It's "purple Batman" syndrome where it's simply repaints that might have different accessories. I don't know if Kre-O's cocky enough to try this unless wherever these are meant to be sold (and I doubt that's dollar stores) has nothing but completionists.

Never found them.

Is anyone finding these anymore? I recently found some and would like to get some more if I can
Bad Broccoli
Can anyone pick me up some of these?
My nearest DG is 1.5 hours away and I know they don\'t have any of these (at least not as of today…I got desperate and checked).
I\'m also looking for the MegatroMegatron and Ironhide Battle Changers.
PM me if interested.

Limb extension parts are reused from a previous China exclusive line,
which I had reviewed: 2016-02-16_KRE-O Armor Hero Power-up sets

NOTE: Their bulk-up construction is reused from the Armor Hero Captor building sets, released exclusively in China.

Retailers stopped carrying it. But there were still RID waves made, and TRU still carried Kre-O Trolls movie stuff.
It's been going strong in China still with other properties like their Armor Hero tv series.
