When I pre-ordered this item, as a Kreon collector I admit it was mostly for the Orion Pax figure, which is wonderful. But the book itself is hardly complete featuring most of the releases from 2011-2013. I was hoping based on the release date that this would include everything up to and including the Kreon toys for the upcoming 4th Transformers film (Age of Extinction). But no such luck. I guess they will save that for a possible 2nd volume in a couple of years (2016?) If the line survives that long. But the book promises "you'll find your favorite characters, and discover new ones". Unfortunately this was not the case. There was nothing in this book I hadn't already known about. In fact some characters that were missing were -The Yellow & Orange variants of Devastator.While Vehicons and Autobot Troopers are covered, there is only a picture of one of them (should have been 3 unique figures each). -Convention exclusives such as Optimus Prime w/Matrix, Energon Bumblebee, & the Machine Wars 5 pack are not covered. Also in considering the development of a book takes time, perhaps the toys for AoE had not gotten passed the R&D stage when this book was being written, but I would think that the author would at least have access from Hasbro to photo material for the Kreons from Micro-Combiners series 4, Customs series 2, and the 3rd wave of Micro-Combiners (while most of these did not hit retail shelves until 2014, some online sellers were offering them in 2013, so I would think they would be considered 2013 releases...). Despite the lack of completeness however, what it does cover is pretty thorough, and is nice to have along side my Kreon collection. I would not discourage hard-core Kreon collectors from purchasing it, but just waned to provide realistic expectations of what you'll get when you do.
A fun book for small children. The book contains silly descriptions of the characters and doesn't follow classic character traits of known transformers. I purchased this for my eight year old who found the characters descriptions to be disappointing. My son is glad there are checklist throughout the book but this is definitely not a reference guide. The Transformers has a rich story history and its disappointing that it wasn't included. Also the book lacks information regarding current kreo releases.
Oh my gosh, lemme just tell ya this was the greatest thing I've ever bought on !This book seriously has every Transformer Kreo that's ever came out and a cute little bio next to the Transformer.And what makes it better is the checklist at the end of each chapter! Now I can keep track of all the Kreo's I'm missing!And of course you get a cute little Orion Pax with it, something any Transformer fan wouldn't want to miss out on.
Compared to the Lego books that are in the same style this comes up lacking. The writing itself is meant for maybe 5 or 6 year olds. The pics and figures are the only real value here. This could have had 4 or more stars if they only followed the Lego way of doing books of this nature.
Wonderful product, quality in every page. bought this for my 9 year old son and he loves it!
Great stuff. As described. Thanks a zillion. I thought the tracking was awesome too. The package was tip top in every sense of the word.
My son loves this book and we have now started collecting Kre-O figures.
My kid love it!
