Well it sure sounds like we will see some new sets for joe kreo at sdcc according to this report. Very excited by this news. Oh and D&D Kreo sounds friggin sweet as well.

Glad they're doing something with D&D. Just wish they'd give us actual D&D figures ...

I'm excited for more Kre-O sets, but not excited at how difficult Wave 1 singles were to find. Hopefully Wave 2 is more abundant.

D&D!!! Woohoo!!
Love the poster they showed for it. It probably means the sets we saw at Toy Fair that haven't been released in stores yet. Technically, those "haven't been seen" by the general public.

Realistically, I think D&D, Joe and Cityville add a LOT to the KreO brand vision, which I hope will reflect in more support from retailers. I think the biggest failing in KreO has been Hasbro's reluctance to embrace the variety that building block sets offer and relying on ONE brand to carry the entire segment. With Joe, D&D, and Cityville, Hasbro finally has a solid range of themes to compete with comparative themes from Lego: Star Wars - Star Trek Chima- Transformers City- Cityville Castle- D&D Galaxy Squad- GI Joe (not an apples to apples, but close enough, though Joe might compare more favorably to Mega Bloks Halo line) About the only segment really lacking would be girl building blocks (which both Lego AND Mega Bloks have started pushing), and MLP:FiM is a ready made franchise for that area.

I hate to say this, but MLP Kreons could be kind of cool......

Agreed, though if the segment is doing as well as Hasbro has implied, we might see a few sets due in the spring (nothing elaborate, mind you, but I can easily see some new stuff in the $10-20 range, perhaps aspects from larger sets like the Joe quad, Sting Raider and HISS tank spun off into individual sets).

My daughter loves the Hello Kitty Mega Bloks. I think they are neat.

Aren't the Cityville sets half the size of regular Kreos? I think that was a head-scratching mistake.
