Rumour - Has Toys R Us UK Dropped the Kre-Os?
This is just a rumour at the moment, as we are trying to get an official comment from Toys R Us or Hasbro, but it appears that Toys R Us may have dropped the Kre-O line ... either that or it's just the Toys R us near us.
When I visited our local TRU a few weeks back there was a large range of Transformers products, the newly launched Kre-O range was positioned right at the entrance. Roll on a few weeks and they are no-where to be seen, their spot replaced by CARS.
A visit to the "boys toys" isle was one area of the previous Transformers stock replaced with Power Rangers, and the second area halved in space, with a Buy One get One Half Price offer on. There was also more Grimlock's then even Simon Furman would want.
I wondered around the store checking for signs of Kre-O's. Would they be in the Lego section .. no. Would they be in the discount section .. no. They were no-where.
So, have you spotted any Kre-O's in stores near you recently? Do you work for Toys R us can official comment on the situation. Let us know.
