Expect to see more from NYCC.

And there goes my promise to Amanda to not start buying LEGO stuff.

It's about "LASER BLAST" time!

I do not have the money for this. That may be a blessing in disguise.

Woot! I've been wanting this since they announced KRE-O! I almost bought the Battleship stuff just to do some custom GI Joe KRE-O figs. Sure, I'd rather it be like BTR, but since I was the only person on the planet who liked BTR, I'll be happy just getting any type of GI Joe brick sets.

Amanda and I had a discussion about Lego a couple weeks ago in Target. She noticed the Avengers sets and said they were cool but in no uncertain terms threatened severe bodily harm if I started collecting them. That threat was repeated this morning when I tweeted this news. So beyond a Rock 'n' Roll set I think I'll have to pass on these... or find somewhere to hide them

If you're not careful, she'll make a suggestion on where you can hide them.

too bad Freo got the license though, I would have preferred Mega Blok style minifigs.

Kre-o is a Hasbro brand. I can understand why Hasbro wants to go with them. I wonder if Richard Woodhouse will be working on these too.

I'm in. Not all in, but in none-the-less.

I've heard that yes Woodhouse is working on these.

Very much looking foward to these. If anything else you'll finally have Transformers and GI Joe in the same scale for once. If they make Army Builder blind bag's I'll go broke.

Seconded. When Battleship got it, but GI joe didn't, I thought it was messed up.

Time to start ebaying to make room

If there's Kre-o Flagg I bet it'll look suspiciously like a reused Battleship carrier...

Seriously I want to see the Lunartix vs Star Brigade in Kre-o form. Predacon and Lobotomaxx would make awesome brick figures. Someone needs to make a Lego/Kreo custom Pogo to go with...

All I have to say so far is I hope the figures go for a more modernized approach than just what's teased. Especially since the Battleship line can easily provide with a number of modernized body armor.

This is the most interested I have been in a new Joe product in a while. I might grab a few Transformers KRE-O now while they're cheap and available because I think this will be the first Joe/Transformers compatible toys.

You can probably even use some of the human Kreons as Joe custom fodder.


(and the Battleship Kre-Os would be useful too, I'd bet!)
