Kreo aren't allow to be posted here. :p

YOU TAKE THAT BACK!

Kreo is one of my secret shames. I love those stupid things and bought pretty much anything I could get. I never did get any of the "Main Characters Travelling Through Time" Kreon Warriors, but I always wanted some.

I feel like at some point Hasbro intended to cancel Kreo but failed to send the memo. So the Kreo team stopped receiving any instructions from management but they didn't know why. So they started doing whatever goofy fun thing they wanted without any supervision.

If only they were still doing it!

And to make matters worse for Kreon completionists, the RID2015 Polarclaw Kreon was only available in a large Kreon multi-pack that was only sold in certain parts of Europe.

Yeah, they weren't everybody's thing, but the people that were into Kre-O were like. Apeshit about it, from what I remember. At least for the little guys. Maybe replace that with Built-To-Rule instead.

That picture is like Grimlock saying "Me Grimlock, king, you not king, you not me!!"

I'm surprised the Kreo team didn't burn down the building...

Not sure if reported, but SS86 Frenzy and his Rise of the Beasts wave mates were at the local Walmart here in Oklahoma. I got Frenzy because I expect them other two to be easier to get.

SS86 Ratchet arrived today, and... I know I'm going against the grain here, but honestly he just makes me wish I'd gotten one of the WFC versions. He's practically the same toy as them, except reworked to be way more of a pain to transform (whose stupid idea was the front of his roof?) and to not have any 5mm ports.

I've got SS Ironhide and Earthrise Ratchet, plus the WFC mold for Sureshot, DX Black Guard and the Auto Trooper.

I'm not worried about the 5ML ports on Ratchet but that front part of the vehicle mode is a complete disaster of a desgin, if anything the Earthrise/Seige desgin was a better transformation and what could of prefected the Earthrise side is if they just made some need feet to make them look like a Earth based vehicle instead of something inbetween, clearly someone decided to short cut on the desgin to save money

Has anyone else here had this problem?

Months ago, I bought a Studio Series 86 Core class Ironhide in one of Hasbro Pulse's sales. When it arrived with the other figures I bundled with it during the sale, upon first opening it, I noticed that Ironhide's left shoulder was cracked. The ball joint attaching the arm to the shoulder wouldn't stay in the shoulder socket because of the crack making the socket too wide.

Then, about three and a half weeks back, I bought another Core class Ironhide from Target, and just now got around to opening it. Just like the first one, right out of the package the left shoulder has a crack. Not as severe as the crack on the first one (since the arm joint is still secure enough inside the shoulder socket), but it's only a matter of time before it gets worse.

Is this a common thing with this toy? Do all SS86 Core class Ironhides have a crack in their left shoulder?

Note that this problem doesn't seem to have affected my SS86 Core class Ratchet.

Mine seems fine. No crack. Joint is working great.
