Battleship LEGO-Style Construction Sets

In 2011, Hasbro launched their own version of the little plastic construction block - Kre-O. They started off with a Transformers Kre-O line, and have now extended it to include characters and ships from their 2012 movie Battleship.

The bricks look just like LEGO and are supposed to be fully compatible.

The sets also come with mini-action figures called Kreons, that look like LEGO minifigures, but have a smoother, more curved styling to them.

There are currently 5 sets in the line up, outlined below.

This is the most complex set in the range with more than 500 pieces, and is suitable for older children, from ages 8 years and up.
