I’m trying… I’m really trying not to get too far into the Kre-O world. The fact that I don’t have any Toys “R” Us stores within a 65 mile radius makes it pretty easy, but seeing great video reviews of them makes it hard all over again. I had resigned myself to the fact that I would pick up some of the blind bag sets, but I had no intention of investing lots of cash in the build sets. I don’t really have time to build these things, I don’t have the display space, and I’m still trying to figure out what to do with this huge box of BTR pieces have had taking up valuable space in my life for the past 10 years!
But… dammit, Pixel Dan. This review pretty much sold me on picking up the Battle Platform set if for nothing else than the Duke, Roadblock, Cobra Commander, and 2 Cobra Trooper Kre-Ons. They look like a whole lot of fun, and I know my daughter will also really be into them. You can also check out a high res gallery to compliment the review on Toy News International.
Check out the video below and join me on the dark side.
I’m a big fan of the Transformer Kre-Os, so it’s really only a matter of time before I start caving on the GI Joe sets.
I also wish I had the space and money right now for a bunch of BTR sets too. I picked up a few last year and thought they were really fun.
Stupid Alexx has persuaded me:

I didn’t realize there was a friggin’ flock-headed Adventure Team figure!!!
That said, he’s probably the only one I’ll get. I have passed up those weird non-Kreo mini figures a few times. I just don’t want to support the burgeoning movement of packaging five-cent chunks of plastic and selling them for several dollars.
That looks awesome! I went to my local Toys R Us on Saturday looking for G.I. Joe Kreo’s but they still only had Battleship and Transformers. I can’t wait to get my hands on them.
