Purity: A2227 Transformers Predaking Combiners Review

I saw a bunch of these on Saturday at Target on 50% Clearance, so I grabbed them.

Box.  MSRP is $9.99 -- they usually sell for more than that -- which means that we have a $0.13 Price per Piece.







Instructions & Stickers.

Kreon Divebomb.  We have that neat Double Stud Plate, a bar plate, two clip plates, and two wedge plates, along with all the Kreon attachments.






Kreon Headlock.  I see a bar plate, a clip plate, a grooved cheese slope, and two cones, along with the Kreon attachments.

Kreon Razorclaw.  I see a clip plate, a grooved cheese slope, and two cones, along with the Kreon attachments.  That piece in the middle is cloth.  It acts as the mane in Razorclaw's animal form.






Kreon Torox.  Two cones, jumper plates, and clip plates, a double bar plate, a 1x3 Slope, and 1x1 round plate w/bar, along with the Kreon attachments.

Parts.  Here's where it gets interesting.  There are five 1x2 Modified Bricks w/Bar and what looks to be a Technic hole.  There are also five 1x2 Modified Plates w/Vert. Clip and some other sort of attachment.  These parts should be really interesting to play with.  There's also a Kreon's "hip" part to play with, along with three more Double Stud Plates, two jumper plates, two 2x2 plates, two grooved cheese slopes, two 1x2 slopes, a 1x1 round plate,


The Questions:
Can you build a frame, or frames, right away?  Yes.  The Kreons are good for 4P scale.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10) (The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  No.  (-5)
Score: B- (-5).  This one could be a good army maker at 4P scale.  Especially if you find it at $0.07 per piece like I did.
