So as the 30th Anniversary year of the TF's comes to a close, we have finally had the Thrilling 30 toys (almost) all come out that we so eagerly discussed last year.
The full list and pics can be found here: http://www.seibertron.com/transforme...he-toys/31721/
So:
1: How did you feel about the Thrilling 30 lineup?
2: What figures did you miss out on that you wanted?
3: Are there any figures you don't have yet you intend to get down the line?
4: List all the figures from the 30 you got and post pics if you have'em
For me it's:
1: I was kinda disappointed at how few original figures there were in the line. They were mostly redo's of toys from other lines. I thought having two different special editions of Metroplex (No's #1 & #5) and two Shockwave's Laboratory (No's #2 & #6) in there was cheating to be honest. I thought No #16 - the Protectobot Evac Squad was crap! I have GDO Hot Spot and he is a million times better than the Hot Spot you get here who looks like a weird Grapple/Inferno hybrid. A lot of the figures I already had in other forms so couldn't justify buying them again (already had Generations Metroplex, 25th Anniversary G1 Predaking, 2 versions of FOC Bruticus etc).
2: I was going to buy Shockwave's Labratory (No #2) but was having too much trouble getting it shipped to Aus so just bought the Tak/Tom version of the Voyager figure. Was gonna grab G1 Coloured Dinobot Slog (No #18) but saw the regular version on special a couple of weeks ago on the shelves so saved myself the hassle and just grabbed that, don't think he's good enough to warrant buying a second.
3: Got Windblade (No #30) sitting in my POL with BBTS. Got Jetfire (No #21) sitting in my HLJ vault. Trent is currently trying to track down a Sunstorm (No #15) for me. I may end up getting the Grimlock Evolutions Pack (No #24) when it drops further in price. I couldn't afford Acid Storm (No #8) at the time and if I can ever find him at a reasonable price will grab him.
4:
No #3 - Platinum Edition Ultra Magnus
No #9 - Masterpiece Soundwave
No #27 - Masterpiece Prowl
(Edit: Actually come to think of it, this is the Tak/Tom version so not sure if it counts)
No #29 - Platinum Edition Silver Knight Optimus Prime
