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.

A member of Seibertron.com has found an auction on TaoBao for an upcoming Knock Off Fortress Maximus. We know that KO Toys scrapped their plans due to costs.
An interesting auction has surfaced on TaoBao that hints at a possible third-party version of Fortress Maximus, or perhaps the rumored KO. The auction is labeled G-02 Titan
and as you can see the silhouetted image mirrored below (which is
actually based on an official image) is almost certainly supposed to be
Fort Max.Â
Earth version of the giant Ford G-02 Titan (Titans) scheduled
G1 Japanese version uses giant Ford mold making, material color and size reduction ratio of 100% realistic
No official stamp, in addition to a large sword that contains all the accessories other than the new sticker
Quality is not to say, I bought here, great sword friend Earth version of the idea in mind
This product will be available first quarter 2012
Offer Price: 2450 yuan
Deposit: $ 50
Scheduled to have a good price ~!

In an update on KOToys.com regarding a new knock-off Generation One Devastator Mike posted the following update when asked whether he had more information on their release.
"no, not sure about those, the guy who makes these is not very good at communication."
So it could be that those knock-offs have been delayed or maybe even cancelled. Either way you can find images of the boxes they would come in on that thread.

FullMetalHero.com are reporting an interesting rumour that a UK exclusive Transformers Dark of the Moon Leadfoot figure may be coming later in the year. According to Red Leader, "a well known UK high street wholesaler on Thursday
indicate that the UK may be getting a Leadfoot figure in a limited
capacity, no figure class details were revealed but the order quantity
must be 5000 for the exclusivity and it may possibly be stocked by a
high street chain well known for serving the UK with sci fi products, it
is still an open offer so anyone can still bite. Go on TRU, you know
you want to!"
This would certainly be an interesting and we will let you know if we hear any more

Seibertron.com have been sent a poor quality image of what appears to be a clear coloured Transformers Movie Voyager Optimus Prime. There is no word on the exact source of the figure which could easily be a fake / knock-off. The image originally contained a watermark that would have identified the source, if you recognise the only part of this mark that is left, let us know. It would be odd to see the 07 figure re-released, but with the recent Sons of Cybertron sets, it is possible.
More on this as it develops
