While J.J. Abrams and company have done their best to ensure that major plot points have been removed from their descriptions, Hasbro has released images of a number of their KRE-O line's Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness-branded toys, due to be unveiled at Toy Fair this weekend. KRE-O, Hasbro's equivalent of the Lego line which features minifigs called KREONs, appears to be using the opportunity presented by Star Trek Into Darkness to release a number of toys, some of which have nothing to do with Star Trek Into Darkness unless they include some spoilers nobody's expecting (like The Borg and Nero, the villain from J.J. Abrams's 2009 Star Trek). Below, check out the trailer for the line and, below that, a number of the playsets with their official descriptions as provided by StarTrek.com.
