G.I. Joe Kre-O Collection 3 Review with Codes

I finally found some time to look at these super cool Kre-O GI Joes Collection 3 packs, that I found in full a few months back. It was pretty killer, as all 12 packs, and only those 12, were on the shelf for the taking. Given how hard it is to find these in my area, I snagged them all!

Now its pretty much established that Kreon figures suck pretty bad in the function category. They fall apart, hard to stand, hands suck, heads sometimes look funny, blah blah... I am just glad that G.I. Joe a pretty obscure license these days, gets such a generous treatment, making it to a full collection 3.

Not only do we get classic characters, but some really obscure characters like Atomic Man. Each figure also usually has some pretty specific weapons, and usually more pieces than a Lego Minifigure would have. Both the Cobra Jet Trooper and Scrap-Iron come with many good build pieces.

I also like these blocks, as the size is so small, I can build a huge GI Joe collection with little storage space. Of course that giant looking Terrordrome might change all that.

So in short, I will take as many of these as I can get and play hard!

Oh, the codes if you are looking for just one...

Kre-O Cityville Invasion Mystery Bags Collection 2 Review and Codes

Kre-o's better mini figure guys, are the micro figures from CityVille Invasion. A good variety of fun.

KRE-O CityVille Invasion Minifigure Population 2-Packs Codes

When i first saw these I picked up just one pack, then one more, then one more, then one more... They are more like Micro Figures, as they are smaller than a normal Kreons, but that doesn't make them any lesser. Two Kreons per pack instantly ups the prize too. I enjoyed the variety and cleverness of many of the characters. I found em over at Toys R Us for $2.99 a bag, which is pretty reasonable. My Favorites are Roboticus and Agent Stealth the #21 pack. Good hunting!

Kre-O Transformers Devastator & Superion

Kreon Devastator his been busy doing construction on set...

I like these guys. They are good for the buck, as there are several stages of setup. I skipped the individual robot modes today. Most likely, I will leave them in combiner mode for the rest of eternity.

The only prob I have with the combiner mode, is the waist pegs to torso slip out too easily. A few other spots can be weak too for dropping pieces. On the other hand, Devastator's main joints are strong, and hold up well.

I found Superion this weekend on an fast dash, three day road trip to Sacramento, for a wedding. I flew through Toys R Us in about five minutes, picked up what I needed, and got out. After seeing that fancy TRU, maybe our local new one won't be such a bad idea (its open too, I have not yet gone).

Now I just need to find a Bruticus for ultimate fighting time.

Kre-O G.I. Joe Checkpoint Alpha and Cobra Armored Assault

Ha-ha, it didn't take me long to cave on the bigger GI Joe Kre-O sets. Two reasons; I found that they are only "Toys R Us Exclusives", making them probably never a reduced thing. And two, a buy one get one half off sale, sold me on the Cobra Armored Assault and the Battle Platform Attack set. These are fun alternate reality building sets. Yes, I found some construction inefficiencies that Lego would never produce with their polished sets, but to have G.I Joe in a block form has been so much fun so far. I actually can't stop playing with them.

G.I. Joe Kre-O Figures Collection 1

Kre-O GI Joe's are looking better and better than their Transformer counterparts. It almost makes more sense for GI Joe to be blockized than Transformers. I picked up 6 out of 12 (the rest were not available), and now I can't stop thinking more. They are not as solid as a Lego Minifigure, yet a little more customized. It's pretty cool to see some of the classic characters being used from so long ago. I also picked up the small Checkpoint Alpha set, and will show off that later. I will wait on the bigger sets though, as sadly, they probably will be reduced in price shortly.

Kre-O Transformers Cycle Chase!

For the Cycle Chase set we have Barricade, a car transformer, driving a cycle. Oh the madness!

Barricade LOOK OUT!

Those crafty Autobot troopers left a barricade in the road.

The team of Autobot troopers here are very Storm Trooper like. Again, I like the slight customizable differences in each one. I would say the drawback to these guys though, are their small foot print. They are more easy to fall down than a Lego man. 

Good set overall though, I am sure more adventures are to come with them someday.

Kre-O Transformers Decepticon Ambush!

This is that time of year where I swear I won't buy as much stuff, then see good deals on clearance, and the whole cycle starts over again. Kre-O can be a fun alternative to Lego now and then. It's like playing with an alternate universe. I don't think Transformers are the perfect fit, but a few are fun to play with. I am really more looking forward to the GI Joe versions. 

I found these two sets with an additional 40% off, and was hooked. I like how each has a team of generic troopers. When I get some time and build the larger Optimus Prime, these will all help in making a nice battle scene. Hats off to the nice closing boxes to Kre-O again. Good for storage.

For about five bucks, all this is totally worth it (maybe not full price). This is my first time with the Kreon figures, and I would say, okay. A little bit tipsy, a little bit light, but good on detail and some customizable differences on the troopers are a plus.

The logic of Cliff Jumper, a car, driving an ATV is funny to wrap your mind around.

These Vehicon guys look really purpley nice!
