I was just about done with my reviews for Wave 5 when reports of Wave 4 popped up! And thanks to my buddy Jeff, I was able to get my set quickly and easily (even without the blind bag codes).

When the fifth wave of G.I. Joe Kre-O mysteriously appeared a few weeks ago, some feared that perhaps the fourth wave might end up in some sort of Hasbro-limbo. Well, good news! A few separate reports have emerged of the fourth wave of G.I. Joe Kre-O being found at Toys “R” Us stores throughout the country.
Andrew over on the For Kre-On Out Loud Facebook Group reported finding the assortment, and even did the favor of breaking down the mini-figure layout inside! Keep in mind this breakdown only works if you find a fresh case, but it’s better than nothing, right, especially since (like Wave 5) these blind bags don’t have any codes.
Here’s what Andrew reports:
Break down is a little difficult, but here goes, left front to back, Chuckles, Budo, Alpine, Airborne, Air Adventurer, then along the side were Cobra Trooper. Right front to back, Wet suit, Tripwire, Night Viper, Cobra Nemesis, Cobra Viper and along the side Zartan.
GIJoeCD also reported in the comments section of GeneralsJoes that he found the assortment in Georgia.
Get to huntin’!
It was the flagship Cobra headquarters of the 1980s, and has now officially made the leap from action figure to building block set!
When the G.I. Joe Kre-O line first kicked off, it was more or less repackaged from existing Battleship sets, and it really looked the part. But throughout the past couple of years, it has evolved clearly into its own specific area of G.I. Joe fandom, and the sets have gotten more and more unique. The Terror Drome is certainly the star on top of the tree!

After the sightings of G.I. Joe Kre-O Wave 5 in Utah last week there were some fandom concerns about the mysterious fourth wave of Kre-On mini figures, which has, as of yet, not been spotted. Well, for anyone wondering about the fate of that fourth wave, there is at least some indication that it has hit retail somewhere.
Last night an auction on eBay appeared for a complete fourth wave of G.I. Joe Kre-Ons, which was swiftly snapped up by an eagle eyed Joe fan. The auction was listed from Rhode Island, but to date has been the only confirmed sighting of the 4th wave of mini figures. Meanwhile, Wave 5 is getting relatively easy to spot on the online auction site.
So keep on hitting those Toys “R” Us stores, from the looks of it, Kre-O Wave 4 should be out there shortly, if it’s not already.
Thanks again to Edward G on Twitter for the info.
THE MOMENT OF TRUTH IS UPON US! Ever since it was first revealed at Toy Fair lo so many months ago, us Kre-O fans have been salivating over the upcoming Cobra Terror Drome! Well, finally our desperate cries for help may have been heard, as ToysRUs.com has just listed it for pre-order!
Even better, according to the TRU website, shipping is scheduled for next week. The MSRP is $99.99, and while that is certainly not cheap, considering everything it comes with, I’m finding it really difficult to find an issue with the price.
To say this excites me would be a wild understatement. Check out ToysRUs.com and pre-order that bad boy! Free shipping for orders over $49.99, so it’s just like getting it in the store.
