I was never really considering buying any of these kreo guys untill I opened one up. They are actually very cool especially the characters they chose to release. Here is a little teaser for some of you if you are not to sure if ya want to start the kreo collection. Enjoy

Thanks for sharing. They are neat for sure. Have you picked up all the sets? What's your thoughts on them?

So far I got:
  • Checkpoint Alpha
  • Ninja Temple (my son mix it with some Ninjago...)
I love them. I also heard the wave 2 is starting to show up in the USA...

So, if anyone buy multiple set and want to get rid of the figs, let me know! I will buy or trade!

And wrists!

Also, the shoulders and legs have a little more movement than Lego figures as the joints are ball jointed.

Actually, it's more than 5. I counted 8:
  • Neck
  • Shoulders #1
  • Shoulders #2
  • Hip #1
  • Hip #2
  • Wrist #1
  • Wrist #2
  • Torso/hip (so he could turn on himself... perfect for ninja move!)
And, I don't know how you count these, but some movement are different from original Lego like:
  • Arms can move sideways
  • Legs can move sideways
So, 8 points of  articulations with more movements than original Lego arms and legs could do. One thing I don't know is if new Lego figs have more articulations than original Lego figs (from the 80s).

So far I have picked up the battle station and the ninja dojo  set. The station is pretty cool it comes with the fang chopper and the motorbike I posted. I have also picked up some blind figure bags. I would suggest the boat kit its very cool 2 boats and the vamp Jeep!! That's For sure my next purchase. Oh and the law and order firefly set is cool and affordable. Its priced around 18$ I think
