is this hasbro only?

It's a Hasbro marketing gimmick. Here's what TFwiki says

In addition to the mass-retail Generations toys, a second line of anniversary toys was released in the form of a "checklist" of 30 toys that were in some way exclusive - be it to a convention or certain retailers. This count of figures was drawn from a variety of toylines and franchises, including Beast Hunters, Platinum Edition, Masterpiece and Construct-Bots.

oh ok, does that mean hasbro's 30 is slightly different from Taktom's?

[reillyd]

It seems to be a rather arbitrary list, with many duplicates that are either Hasbro exclusive or Takara exclusive, so that its practically impossible for someone in either country to collect the full set without spending some SERIOUS coin.

Can't wait to see the in packaging pics though on Windblade. I want her NOW, dammit!

There is no Takara Thrilling 30, as I said it's a Hasbro marketing gimmick.

[MayzaPrime]

Had Hasbro not used essentially the same figure SDCC & ACGC Metroplex (which I own) I would have tried to complete the thrilling 30 but to be honest I will just get the figures that interest me, like Shockwave's Lab, Windblade & the MPs

....ahh ok, I just assumed because they have the 30th anniversary logo on their boxes.

Added number 29, after it was shown online.

Thanks to a reminder by a post by ilikesoundwave, I've updated the list, which leaves us with just 6 left unknown or unconfirmed.

These ones were out in stores in the last month somewhere, so have been confirmed (two I've seen myself)...
22 - TF4 EVOLUTIONS Bumblebee
28 - TF4 SMASH & CHANGE Silver Knight Optimus Prime
29 - PLATINUM DLX (TF3) Silver Knight Optimus & VOY (FOC) Grimlock

These ones were revealed at BotCon (which we could see the logo on the packaging in the display cabinets)...
15 - MASTERPIECE MP-05 Sunstorm
20 - TF4 AOE PLATINUM EDITION Breakout Battle (Optimus Prime, Vehicon, Rollbar)
27 - MASTERPIECE MP-04 Prowl
30 - GENERATIONS Windblade

Still missing 16, 17, 18, 19, 21 (tfwiki claims it is Generations Jetfire), and 23 (looks like it should be Evolutions Optimus).
Some of the other upcoming Platinum sets (Leaders, 5-pack Autobots) might be on the list as well. And don't be surprised if the SDCC figures this year are on there again as well, as the time-span of this list so far is 15 months.

I'd be thinking that MP-03 Grimlock is on the list since 04 and 05 are on there. Not sure why Sunstorm is so much higher on the list than Prowl... as the list was mostly ordered by release date.
Windblade is indeed just the regular release figure, which might make it the one non-exclusive item on the list.

One of the Hasbro reps at BotCon said that they should be releasing a full list of the 30 publicly, and when the full list is known, it will be interesting to see just how many people here managed to get from of this "special" Anniversary 30.
