Thrilling 30 Wrap Up - Thoughts, Acquisitions etc

[griffin]

I think I've waited long enough to not spoil the fun or be too intimidating...

1 - GENERATIONS TITAN CLASS METROPLEX - SDCC EDITION - YES
2 - PRIME BEAST HUNTERS SHOCKWAVE’S LAB (w/ Predaking) - SDCC EDITION - YES
3 - PLATINUM EDITION ULTRA MAGNUS - YES
4 - PLATINUM EDITION GRIMLOCK VS. BRUTICUS Set (FALL OF CYBERTRON) - YES
5 - GENERATIONS TITAN CLASS METROPLEX - HK Ani-Con & Game Convention Edition - YES (wasn't intending to get this, but got one as a gift)
6 - PRIME BEAST HUNTERS SHOCKWAVE’S LAB (w/ Predaking) - Asian Exclusive Edition - YES (wasn't intending to get this, but were on clearance at BBTS)
7 - PRIME BEAST HUNTERS ULTIMATE OPTIMUS PRIME - Asian Exclusive Edition - NO (apparently identical to regular version)
8 - MASTERPIECE ACID STORM - YES
9 - MASTERPIECE SOUNDWAVE Set (5 cassettes) - NO (I did buy it, but sold it because it was too similar to the TakaraTomy versions)
10 - PLATINUM EDITION PREDAKING Set - YES
11 - CONSTRUCT-BOTS PREDACONS RISING PREDAKING - YES
12 - PLATINUM EDITION Year of the Horse OPTIMUS PRIME (MP-10) - YES
13 - PLATINUM EDITION Year of the Horse Supreme STARSCREAM (TF-Cybertron) - YES
14 - TF4 AOE FIRST EDITION Optimus Prime - YES
14 - TF4 3-pack Stinger, Bumblebee, Strafe - NOT YET (got lost in the mail or never posted, so have to find another one)
15 - MASTERPIECE MP-05 Sunstorm - YES
16 - Protectobots Evac Squad (Hotspot, Blades) - YES
17 - Protectobots Emergency Response (First Aid, Groove, Streetsmart) - YES
18 - TF4 AOE VOYAGER Slog (Generation One deco to match SDCC 4-pack) - YES
19 - Knights of Unicron (Optimus, Megatron, Jazz, Soundwave w/ Ratbat & Laserbeak) - YES
20 - TF4 AOE PLATINUM EDITION Breakout Battle (Optimus Prime, Vehicon, Rollbar) - YES
21 - GENERATIONS Jetfire - YES
22 - TF4 EVOLUTIONS Bumblebee - YES
23 - TF4 EVOLUTIONS Optimus Prime - YES
24 - TF4 EVOLUTIONS Grimlock - YES
25 - TF4 EVOLUTIONS Dinobot Slug - YES
26 - TF4 EVOLUTIONS Strafe - YES
27 - MASTERPIECE MP-04 Prowl - NO (too similar to TakaraTomy version)
28 - TF4 SMASH & CHANGE Silver Knight Optimus Prime - YES
28 - TF4 PLATINUM EDITION First Edition Silver Knight Optimus Prime - NOT YET (still on my list to find and import for a reasonable price)
29 - PLATINUM DLX (TF3) Silver Knight Optimus & VOY (FOC) Grimlock - YES
30 - GENERATIONS Windblade - YES

That totals - 27/32 currently... which will end up being 29/32 when I track down the two that I still want.

So thanks to Hasbro incompetence, I'll be one short of the getting 30 of the "Thrilling 30", but will actually end up with 3 short of a complete set.

(and even if I had collected all of the set, thanks to the half-assed selection of items for the set, it isn't something for me to boast about or be proud of... )

^I think we need to have an intervention.

you're about four and a half thousand toys too late, but bonus points for trying

[CBratron]

Remember how excited we were when the Thrilling 30 was first announced?

We were thrilled (yeah, I said it) to imagine a line of toys commemorating a rich and varied history of the Transformers brand. We imagined milestones, reissues and callbacks from all the various series and eras.

A lot of this...

with a dash of this...
