They don't seem to have great distribution, that's for sure. :( I didn't even know these existed until a box of them showed up in the warehouse of the bookstore where I work (we have a random assortment of kids toys for a few tables in the kids book section).

I haven't seen C.C.'s at Walmart or Target, which are the only other two places I go to look for kids toys now that TRU is gone from my state.

Distribution of these does seem poor.  The store I found them in is Belk, a clothing store.  It's weird.  They are great toys, but hard to find.

Aahhh!!

If this is how the new ones look I can't wait!!

I took some screenshots from the above video.  It was going too fast for me!  I hope it's ok to share these. 

Going to put a spoiler, there are nine pictures here:

I hope to check my store tomorrow, though I doubt these are really on the shelves just yet.

On a side note, I was able to get Frost White's wings to stand up a bit!

My work just got in a box of Breakout Beasts Series 4! I didn't even know they had a series 4 coming! Hmm just checked the Mega Construx website and it looks like they just put up a new series 4 image on the top of the page, but no details on the Sets page about it yet.

I was hoping this might mean new Crystal Creatures too, but no luck there. :( I'm hoping they'll be on the truck shipment next week~

Yeah, same with my local store.  No series 2 Crystal Creatures yet.

But since they did have the new Breakout Beasts, I decided to grab a couple.  (I found codes online so I knew what I was getting.)

This sturdy stallion is called Blazeburst.  (Egg code is 05TC)

The egg he came in is orange, but his colors go perfectly with the teal tops of the Crystal Creatures egg.

Balefyre is an awesome phoenix!  (Egg code is 06TC)

I kept saying, "this is so cool" when I was putting this one together.

A better view of the wings.  He has no front legs, but these awesome wings!

A shot of the pair!  The mouths open and close on both of them.  Balefyre's flame is removeable.

Oh, and the slime was a better consistency!  I will call it 'jelly' slime.  Less watery and much less sticky!  I am hoping this will be how the series 2 Crystal Creatures slime will be.  I hardly needed to wash any parts, as they came out clean.

I didn't expect to get hooked on any toys again.  Don't get me wrong, I love toys, but I haven't found any that grabbed me the way these have in years.  I have a new collection going!  <3

Ooooo they are pretty nifty looking! I really like the face sculpts of the CC's but I admit it is cool to be able to open and close the jaws of the BB's.

If you're looking for other BB's, here's what we have in my store right now: (I thought we got a whole box but apparently we only got a few.)

Series 3: 06TC and 09TC
Series 4: 07TC and 08TC

Do you know which ones these codes go with?

I'll see what I can find on those codes!  Usually I find them in YouTube videos.

PS - Looks like series 3 hase numbers like 71TC ?  At least that is what I am finding.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edited to add:

These images are NOT mine, I found them online.  The codes match the ones I have seen in YouTube opening videos.

Series 4 BB codes:

Hope this helps!

I meant to mention that I do generally prefer the more elegant sculpts on the CC's.  I just wanted at least a few of the BB's as well.  The eagle head is really nice!  I am looking for an old series 2 BB, but I am probably going to have to eBay him. (And pay double price.)

Oh whoops! You're right about the series 3 ones, sorry. The codes are so tiny and hard to read on the bottom of the eggs lol.

So my store has Fangrene and Rivenbeak from series 3 and Tidalfire and Hydracc from series 4. Thanks!

(You know this is so helpful, having the codes. I wish Hasbro wasn't a butt about their blind bags and containers, making it impossible to know what MLP figure you have unless you buy it. :P )

Although it's not likely, I'll definitely let you know if I come across any series 2 in my travels. :)

Still no new Crystal Creatures, but I gave in and bought Rivenbeak. He's pretty cool! I don't think all the BB's really look like they came from the same 'world' as the CC's (if that makes sense) but Rivenbeak fits with them perfectly. Until I opened the package I thought he was a gryphon, but he's actually a hippogriff! With fluffy Clydsdale feet! I love him!

I have to admit I like the Breakout Beast eggs better than the Crystal Creature eggs. The CC's all have a boring 'gray bottom teal top', while the BB's have cool eggs that swirl different colors of plastic together. The series 3 eggs are purple/green/black.

He looks great!  I love the eagle heads in the Breakout Beasts line.

I haven't seen the series 2 Crystal Creatures yet either.   Hopefully soon!

I love the pics.  I looked for Crystal Creatures/Breakout Beasts this weekend but didn’t have any luck.

Hello! I'm glad there's people who love these two lines as much as I do! Does anyone know the codes for series 2 Breakout Beasts? I've been desperately looking for Charcoalt to no avail, and when I found codes for that series, they were wrong and I got the wrong Beast  :pout:

Let's see, I had one that ends in 76TC... and I got... Fangrene, a green dragon. (I like the one from Crystal Creatures much better)

According to this image, Charcolt is Series 3, not series 2, and he's code ending in 73TC.

I just noticed Sleetstorm looks like half eagle, half dragon! Wow! If an eagle/lion is a gryphon, and an eagle/horse is a hippogryph, what would an eagle/dragon be....
