- Anyone remember the long line of Kre-O building block sets from Hasbro? With sets heavily influenced by the Transformers? Let's look back at all the released sets and Transformers themed Kreons. This includes everything from buildable figures, vehicles, Micro-Changers, Kreon Warriors, cancelled sets, and featured Manga artwork.

I love Kre-O still own some old sets and new ones. Earlier this year I managed to get the Giant Optimus Prime set and I love him. Right now the ones in my room is the Big Kre-O Optimus, Superion combiner, Bruticus combiner, Golden Optimus, small Optimus, Small comic con exclusive small Optimus, and chibi Optimus riding chibi Grimlock, and a sea con. But that’s only some of the sets I own.
It’s a shame as quickly as Kreo popped onto the scene they left while the tolerances of the parts should have been better the sets were fun and I won’t forget the memories of building some of my favorites like the Sentinel Prime set (and the minifigure breaking the same day I got it) and the Superion set
I had no idea that they made so many of these things.
My son and I thought we had a ton of them, but obviously we were barely scratching the surface.
We got them cheap when Target was going bankrupt.
You have no idea how thankful I was that my aunt gifted me a repeat big Starscream so that I could have both jet and robot modes without the hassle of the rebuilding process.
16:39 that's me... I'm in a video... I'm in tfanpage101's video.... I'M IN TFANPAGE101'S VIDEO!!!!!!!!
Kre-o was partly the reason why I stopped being such a Lego loyalist. Lego wasn't getting stale yet, but their only other IP's were star wars, marvel and DC. Mega Construx and Ionix were also doing cool things
So, when Hasbro runs out of ideas for G1, I guess they will have no choice but to start dressing up their characters as gangsters, ninja and cowboys. Who needs new characters anyway.
kre-o had such good ideas for the sets, a huge shame a few weren't able to be released but its cool that we got as much sets/figures as we did, I personally had the bank and construction site sets which i kinda ended up selling last year (minus 3 figures i still have and a couple left over parts lol)
but i do really want to start a collection again, but specifically the kreons as they are pretty cool and imo are a lot better than what lego would do (i mean what other minifigures can transform like that) but also its a fun artstyle
also thanks for including the pic i sent on twitter, i was not expecting to see that haha
I’m glad you covered this IP. It’s such an obscure thing that I felt that very few people only looked at because you can only find these very few and far between.
“BUMBLEBEE NOOO”
“hi”
*_"cue the music"_*
This video reminded me that i have a few of these guys. I'm messing around with them now, and while they're not the greatest, they are some fun little guys. I have 6 of them. Thrust, Seawing, Sharkticon, Beachcomber, Wildrider, and Alpha Trion.
I remember in the early 2010’s my local target put these sets in the Lego aisle so for the longest time I thought Lego already made Transformers sets and didn’t know why everyone was so hyped for the new Optimus Prime set
Dam, Kre-O lasted for way longer than I thought. Awesome video man!
Kre-O is a collaboration with Korean toy brand Oxford Toys, which also released some Kre-O exclusives only in Korea and Japan with the Family Mart convenience store. It is unfortunate, that Hasbro discontinued the brand.
My favorite growing up was the Kreon Bruticus (Out of a combining 3 pack) and the Mirage and driver combo, I used to use both of the minifigs all the time. Had the Stealth Bumblebee set as well.
I thought no one else knew about this until now.
i didn’t buy to much of these sets but taking this look back i wish i collected some of the blind bag figures
The yearbook of figs is one of my favorite con exclusives
Man, I remember growing up with KRE-O.
It’s sad that it couldn’t stick around for more time because of the closing of Toys-R-Us.
I only got two of these Kre-o sets for Christmas way back, the mini Optimus and the Huge Optimus with the trailer
i remember getting some of the blind bags at my local Walgreens every time I went oh the nostalgia plus I remember the first ker-o set I got was the Sentinel prime brick build set when I was 5-6 years old I never finished building it sadly
Takara made a G1 styled brick built optimus prime that could actually transform even before LEGO Optimus prime, but he has one eye and he’s very rare.
Oh I used to have these, they're awesome
I miss kreons. I had bought most of those sets back in the day. I used the vehicle mode builds to display with the G.I. Joes.
I got 1 Kre-O Set for Christmas back in 2012 or 2013 but it wasn't a Transformers one 😭
I had no idea this line went beyond year 2
This makes me happy :)
8:26 Kitty!
I remember I had the lockdown and AOE prime weapon sets they were the best
Loved the Kreons
I owned some of these sets, I found the plastic to feel cheap and didn’t last like Lego does.
Also the quality wasn’t always good out of box
I loved kreo
Man i wish they bring back this brand i remember when i was younger i wanted the figures so badly especially megatron but i only got the big built optimus prime n the smaller one with bumble bee
Great work💪
the only kreo thing I have is the micro changer guzzle. unfortunately his arm and leg broke off their ball joints.
12:07 I remember I had iron Hyde he was very fun
These guys are so strange XD Some of them look awesome and some just look wweeeeiiirrrddd.
I always saw these on Amazon thinking they were the coolest things ever until lego made optimus and bumblebee 😂
I loved the optimus vs megatron 2-pack
optimus prime vs zombies was the coolest Game ever
2011-2015 take me back
Kero is my childhood man
I have a soft spot for Kreo Transformers
I miss kre-o😢
great vid
I will never understand how they failed to maximize the Kreon playability by designing a Kre-O Ark or Nemesis.
So… they made a Sentinel Prime with a Headmaster that makes perfect sense with the entire toylike because you can swap the head into any body… AND IT’S A BOTCON EXCLUSIVE 😭😭 god I want that now
Can you do a video of all official LEGO transformers before LEGO optimus prime?
Could you imagine owning all these...
surprisingly wide line of characters
8 minutes in, and I had come to realize, there are a seriously insane amount of transformers characters. Like... Jesus Christ. And I thought sonic the hedgehog had a huge cast.
I love combiners :)
I always wanted to collect Kreo minifigs, and I still might. But unfortunetly I bought one years ago, and the quality of the plastic felt super cheap. The pieces of the figure either didn’t come apart no matter how hard I tried to pull. Or the pieces didn’t fit together properly. Like the torso was constantly coming apart by itself. And once i removed the weapon from the hand the hand immidiately widened, and was unable to hold the gun anymore. And all this happened right after I opened the packaging. Perhaps it was just my specific copy. I’m not saying all were like this. But it put me off from buying more. Even though I really liked the way the figure looked.
Sad that kreo doesnt have a predaking for beast hunters.
But you could get that workd if warcry dragon that looks like him
Did you have to completely disassemble the sets in BTR?
Takara made brick built animated optimus prime and bumblebee and they could actually transform and they came out before LEGO Optimus prime and LEGO bumblebee
My dollar store still got kreo transformers blind bags
I liked their Star Trek stuff
staring contest. 👀
I think some of the big sets like Sentinel and Bumblebee would have been better if they didn't have those Ohio heads
I have the micro changers alpha trion and demolisher
I have blight and lugnut
A little fun fact, when kreo re-released their blindbags, they updated some of the prints and use the latest mold of the kre-ons (you can tell by the new hands, hole in the neck, and bar sized holes under the feet)
i own most of these sets including the tiny optimus prime set
They made a bionicle esc line too
@@TheBurgoid I have some of them
Can still buy kreos
First 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Can you do a video about TF construct bots
I'm considering it
@@TFanPage101 I appreciate that
Microchange was dn.
No kreo needle nose 😢
The battle changers were the only good kreo sets
Thats Bombshell in series 2 not Hardshell
@@pariston1284 His listed name was Hardshell, since they didn't get the rights to the name back at that point
Why do you constantly talk through your teeth, it makes you sound perpetually angry 😭😭😭
Sorry but outside of the big Optimus movie figure, am I the only one who find all of those figures and sets ugly as hell ?
Owner of the cancelled hound at the end here :)
Amazing video. Multiple times I thought about a solid modern day video covering everything about Kre-O and you delivered just that. Glad I could help supply some extra info for you.
I’m still kicking tryna figure out wassup with some of the loose ends for Kre-Os production that I discovered, from the samples to the factories to the sudden company switch, ima keep you posted fosho 🫡
