Awww, pic noo show
Blame fucking tinypic. I had to hotlink so it's probably axed.
Dunno why TP gives me such shit on gifs these days.
EDIT:
Fix-ed with a small version.

Apparently GI Joe Kre-O sets are TRU exclusives (WTH), and they are up for pre-order at buy-one-get-one-50% off. And it actually takes the 50% off the next most expensive item (limit three discounts if I read it correctly). Not bad at all.

That was my sentiment exactly (see earlier in this thread). Since then, my son (who is soon to turn six) has really developed a love for legos, and I don't think I can resist trying to nudge him toward liking joes via these building sets. The opportunity is right there.
And if he hates them, I'll make tiny custom vintage-looking cardbacks with yoda-sized blisters and make something unique

Like a said earlier in the thread, if that happened, I'd HAVE to 'collect them all!"
C'mon!...how adorable is that Order?
Not really if you consider how well the Battleship movie-tie-in Kre-O sets performed. That was an epic trainwreck. They didn't even make it to the lego isle, just straight to clearance where they gathered dust.
Honestly, I would not even blink at these if they were based on the movies. The only hope of selling me Joe legos is to have them brimming with nostalgia. I get excited about a tiny Clutch. I wouldn't give two tiny lego turds about a Kre-O Tatum.

No Kidding! Thankfully I keep talking myself out of them and I don't think I'm going to get any.

Man, I could of passed these completely up. Had I not got a glimpse of that Firefly. I'm screwed now.
Yeah, it's just one random figure. I first thought that it was a 12-pack too at an awesome price (b/c let's face it, that's what 12 lego men SHOULD cost), but alas, no. It's just a blind bag.
Clutch and the tiny VAMP is what got me. And the tiny Flint.

Again, if they were classily carded, theres not a one of us who could resist, cept maybe KT
The only way you'd tempt me to buy these is a dio of a dozen of those little fucking Cobra troopers charging out of one of those Lego CH-47s.
I'm unclear on something. When we saw these back at SDCC, I don't recall them being TRU exclusives. Are they the only one carrying Joe Kre-O? Come to think of it, Target and WM in my area have all stopped carrying any Kre-O or any kind. All the TF and Battleship stuff got clearanced, never to return. It would be kind of a shame if these little figs were TRU only forever and always.
Looks cool.. one of my sons is getting into Lego's now, so this could be fun.
Are KRE-O (Gay ass faggoty name if I've ever heard one) compatible with Lego parts?

How would people HT know what is compatible? Their hands aren't compatible with 1:18 scale toys
Yeah, but kre-o and Lego are small...they can manage small no problem...still takes oth hands, but it's doable nonetheless
Yeah, it's financially sound if collectors are the only market, but I can only imagine how confused kids are going to be when they see Law and Order or Clutch.
Good Lord, I wish I hadn't looked at those pics. If those sets are ever released in Aussie TRUs, my poor wallet is screwed.
Not really. There is a snake eyes, storm shadow, flint, jinx, duke, etc. There are plenty of characters for movie fans to recognize even if the deco isn't 100% movie accurate.
I ship to aussie land
With a few extras thrown in?
Seriously though, these would go excellently with those Lego-knockoff military sets (brand names are Cogo, Enlighten, Woma, Sluban, etc).
And then you have http://www.brickarms.com/ for your armament needs.
FLED!...why in the world did you post that link?!...now I want joe kre-os even more!...you d!ck!
Yeah, at SDCC they showed the Tac platform with Duke, Roadblock, CC, and a couple of troopers. I guess it wasn't ready for the first wave. No way they don't produce the set with the two leader figures.
