Check out this Hasbro KRE-O Star Trek Video by Bad Robot

Star Trek Kre-O Digital Short

While we’re on the subject of Star Trek Into Darkness and KRE-O, be sure to check out this digital short for the KRE-O Star Trek line, made by Bad Robot. They are the production company of J. J. Abrams. And to answer the obvious question, yes, the very self-aware and funny video has plenty of lens flare.

Also, Sulu shows us why he deserves his own cologne. (Spoiler: he cuts a dude in half!) Makes me wish Hasbro would back a KRE-O Star Trek video game.

Entertainment Earth Wants You to Star Trek Into Discounts

Still on a Star Trek high from seeing Into Darkness this weekend? Entertainment Earth wants you to Trek Into Discounts! Yeah, I know, it’s horrible, and I wish I could claim credit for it, but that’s what they wrote in the email notifying me of the 20% discount Entertainment Earth is offering on most of their in stock Star Trek gear. It includes a lot of great stuff from Diamond Select Toys, Hasbro, NECA, and more.

Live long and shop a lot!

Free LEGO Iron Man vs Fighting Drone Set with $50 Purchase

Free LEGO Iron Man vs Fighting Drone

Iron Man is still going strong in theaters, though I expect Star Trek will take over the top spot this weekend. LEGO has the Marvel (and DC) license, but Star Trek is with Hasbro in the KRE-O building set brand – so LEGO is riding shotgun with this Iron Man promotion for a free set. The LEGO Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone is a $4.99 set, and you don’t necessarily have to buy Marvel LEGOs to get it.

For example, you might go nuts over these Lone Ranger LEGO sets – cowboys, Indians, and trains? That’s LEGO heaven, Kemosabe.

FREE Exclusive, Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone with purchases of $50 or more! Valid. 5.16.13 – 5.31.13

  • FREE Iron Man™ vs. Fighting Drone set with any purchase of $50 or more
  • Valid: June 16-31st or while supplies last
  • No Code Required

via Free Exclusive LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone!* | LEGO Shop.

I Wish I Had Hasbro KRE-O G.I. JOE Toys When I Was a Kid

Despite a brief love affair with Star Wars LEGOs over a decade ago, construction toys aren’t in my current line-up of stuff I collect as an adult. I was sorely tempted when Hasbro announced their KRE-O building sets for its G.I. JOE brand.

You see, when I was a kid, one of my first action figures was a 12-inch JOE, and that translated into a love of the 3.75-inch figures when I was a little older. Back in the day I also had a lot of love for LEGO, but that was long before they had branched into licensed properties.

So, the combination of G.I. JOE and KRE-Os hits on a few strong nostalgic notes for me. That they included a throwback to the original fuzzy-haired 12-inch figure as one of their single-packed figures isn’t helping me resist them.

Keep on the lookout for G.I. JOE KRE-O sets and figures starting February next year at Toys R Us. Yo JOE!
