Been having trouble finding G.I. Joe Kre-O sets at your local Toys “R” Us? Well, TRU.com can get you the hook up! Both in store and online, Toys “R” Us is currently offering a Buy 1 Get 1 50% off sale on their entire stock of Kre-O product, including the brand new G.I. Joe items.

This is hilarious. I’m a big fan of Alexx’s reviews over on JoeBattleLines, JoeSightings, and other places around the web, and he really nailed it with his recent reviews of the G.I. Joe Kre-O product.
He was able to get his hands on some recent offerings, and posted one huge mega review featuring Alley-Vipers, Rock n Roll, the VAMP and Serpent Armor playset, etc… the result is an awesome plethora of great pictures and hilarious commentary. For some reason these Kre-O guys suit his sense of humor perfectly.
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.

As a reminder, if you’re buying the Blind Bags, don’t forget about the codes on the back:
A short while ago I posted a breakdown of the unique codes on the back of the Kre-O blind bags to help folks who are looking for a specific figure concealed within those blind bags. The code breakdown was courtesy of HissTank.com and should be very helpful to folks trying to find that fuzzy headed Joe Colton or Quick Kick with authentic FUGEE bar!
I’ve been seeing some folks out there who must have missed the post the first time around, so I’m getting it back out on the front page here. Bookmark this one, boys and girls! Check out the blind bag codes below:
23401 75 Alley Viper
23401 76 Cobra Ninja Viper
23401 77 Cobra Trooper
23401 78 Crimson Guard
23401 79 Cobra Axe Ninja
23401 80 Kim Arashikage (Jinx)
23401 81 Kamakura
