Hasbro has just announced the expansion of their KRE-O building set lines to include the popular role playing game "Dunegons & Dragons" in addition to more sets from the Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Star Trek lines. All of these will be on display at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. You can read the full press release and check out the teaser poster below.

In anticipation of Comic-Con International in San Diego, Hasbro, Inc. (HAS), announced today the expansion of their KRE-O construction brand to include DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, the iconic fantasy

Fans at Comic-Con should stop by the Hasbro booth on Friday, July 19 at 9:00-10:00a.m. for a chance to receive a special edition KRE-O DUNGEONS & DRAGONS collectible poster while supplies last and view early KREON models. Kids and fans will be able to find KRE-O DUNGEONS & DRAGONS building sets at retail locations in January, 2014. 

The KRE-O brand also celebrates the upcoming launch of the recently announced KRE-O CITYVILLE INVASION line at Comic-Con where visitors will be among the first to see the sets featuring DR. MAYHEM who has created a supernatural squad to aid him in world domination. Hasbro has changed the face of brick-based play with the introduction of innovative SONIC MOTION TECHNOLOGY seen for the first time in the KRE-O CITYVILLE INVASION line inspired by the new CityVille Invasion app by ZYNGA. Building sets equipped with SONIC MOTION TECHNOLOGY emit sound waves which trigger specific movements in special KRE-O bricks, creating a live action scene within the set. Fans can stop by the Hasbro booth to see SONIC MOTION TECHNOLOGY in action for the first time, get the first look at the excitinghttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png new world of KRE-O CITYVILLE INVASION, and see everything the evil DR.
