Michael contact Hasbro UK's customer service team regarding whether this was a general discontinuation or whether it was just Toys R Us stopping stocking the figure, but they have thus far declined to comment.

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.

Full Metal Hero has posted images and informaton on the PerfectEffect PE-DX01 confirming the long held suspicion that the PE-12 was to be an Acree homage.

These new images showing both Alt and Robot modes, clearly show that PE are sticking to their concept of total integration, with the gun neatly becoming part of her vehicle mode.

Snakas is reporting that Takara Tomy Shareholder of the year exclusives are showing up on Yahoo auctions.  This award is for an item that is distributed to shareholders featuring the Tomica Transformers trailer., with verification of the authenticity on the Investor Relations page of the official site TOMY.

The trailer containing the TF is an item for those under preferential shares held by 1000, bundled with Pikachu Choro Q.

Such as online auctions, items less than 1,000 shares or special offers, so often end up with a rate of about several hundred yen and eventually people are aimed Ok, maybe I'd better wait a bit.­
