Not to be consfused with KREO.
KRE-O is a line of construction toys (similar to Lego and Megabloks) manufactured by Hasbro. Kre-O has been announced to release in stores in Fall 2011,[1][2] although Hasbro started shipping out the first Transformers sets in early June 2011.[3] The creators of the toy franchise got the name "Kre-O" from the Latin word "creo", which means "I create".[4]
Kreo-O blocks are compatible with Lego bricks [5], hence also compatible with Mega Bloks [6].
