  • Sideswipe Roadway Rundown (2015)
    • Set Number: B1548
    • Kreons: Sideswipe, Hammerstrike
    • Pieces: 98
    • Accessories: 2 Swords 


     Available only for the Sideswipe Roadway Rundown set, this Sideswipe Kreon uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes them incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons, and he's based on his Robots in Disguise counterpart. He also comes with a buildable vehicle mode of himself.
The good news is: He finally had a pair of swords, which is reused from Springer's/Drift's. He also reuses Knock Out's helmet.
Like the rest of the Robots in Disguise Building sets, the sets are released early in some Asia regions.

  • Strongarm Capture Cruiser (2015)
    • Set Number: B1549
    • Pieces: 105
    • Kreons: Strongarm, Springload
    • Accessories: Crossbow 
Only available in the "Strongarm Capture Cruiser" set, this Strongarm Kreon uses the new 2015 style of Kreon hips and torso, with a hollow hip-peg and a central post inside the torso for increased grip... which also makes them incompatible with about four years' worth of Kreons. She also comes with a buildable Capture Cruiser vehicle modeled vaguely after her.
While the Kreon itself does not have a scannable badge, the set's instruction booklet has a unique scan-badge that rewards the player with a Strongarm Kreon item.
All of the 2015 Transformers Kre-O product was skipped by retailers in the US (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the US through TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores, including this set... although Strongarm and Sideswipe's sets turned up in considerably smaller numbers than the others.

MegaBloks TMNT Out Of The Shadows

Oh my goodness, this year is so great for brick building and collecting!  Not only do I love TMNT, but I love that it came out as a MegaBloks Set!  The features that would be based on the movies is a definite plus, and I love with just how much articulation there is to the minifigures!  Wether it be an adult or child getting these summer sets, these are definitely a great buy!

Oh, and did I mention lights and sounds?!  Yeah, Lights and SOUNDS!!

Check out some photos!  Video reviews once I get my hands on them!
