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.

Kreo.com has been updated with new Kreo Transformers Wallpapers featuring your favorite Kreon Figures.
