I lost interest very early on when I found out different versions of the same mould/character were included in the list. Ended up with about 5.
Surprised that an Optimus Prime G1 reissue in a special package like the 25th anniversary was not in the list.

Ha ha ha ha! I felt NOTHING1: How did you feel about the Thrilling 30 lineup?
Nope. I didn't miss out as this was a wasted opportunity. It would have been nice if they had some figures that celebrated the 30th anniversary, instead of it being a line of random releasd toys.2: What figures did you miss out on that you wanted?

None, so none.4: List all the figures from the 30 you got and post pics if you have'em
his was a horribly executed "special line." So many Metroplexes.... Really Hasbro?
Lost Interest soon after it was launched 0/5 stars

1: How did you feel about the Thrilling 30 lineup?
I initially thought that every toy released this year would bear this name, similar to the "20th Anniversary" logos that both Hasbro and Takara put on their toys in 2004. But after learning that it only refers to a set number of toys that seem to be rather haphazardly put together... meh.
2: What figures did you miss out on that you wanted?
None. If I want a figure, I'll buy it. This has mostly worked for me since '84.
3: Are there any figures you don't have yet you intend to get down the line?
None. If I wa--, oh wait...
4: List all the figures from the 30 you got and post pics if you have'em
* MP Acid Storm
* FE AoE Optimus Prime
* Generations Jetfire
* AoE Evolution 2-pack Bumblebee
* AoE Evolution 2-pack Optimus Prime (which was one of the freebies that I got from Hasbro for doing the MP Ultra Magnus booklet)

1: How did you feel about the Thrilling 30 lineup?
Good idea that quickly became a mess and a guessing game for far too long because it seems they were making it up as they went along with too many duplicates (two Metroplexes, two FOC Grimlocks, four AOE Prime toys!).
2: What figures did you miss out on that you wanted?
N/A
3: Are there any figures you don't have yet you intend to get down the line?
Platnium Predaking is a maybe, but I have the original reissue and does the trick. Everything else in the list I want I have or am seeking another release of the toy from TakTom version (AOE Dinobots, Jetfire, MP Prowl, Windblade)

Masterpiece Soundwave (Hasbro version)

1: How did you feel about the Thrilling 30 lineup?
I was hoping for a reissue of some of the greatest Transformers from the last 30 years. I was bitterly disappointed... SO much of it was just random and mismatched. Others, well 1 & 5 are too similar to the first release of Generations Metroplex. Who has room for 3 of them at home! I already had the Takara versions of Soundwave and Prowl so I passed on them. Picked up Sunstorm though as it is a different version to the Takara one.
2: What figures did you miss out on that you wanted?
None. I didn't actively buy any of them simply because they were part of the Thrilling 30.
3: Are there any figures you don't have yet you intend to get down the line?
Nope. The ones I did purchase tended to either be Masterpiece types or, in the case of Jetfire and Windblade, Generations figures.
4: List all the figures from the 30 you got and post pics if you have'em
I managed to pick up 8, 12, 13, 15, 21 and 30. Pics to come.

3 - PLATINUM EDITION ULTRA MAGNUS got on sale discounted TICK
4 - PLATINUM EDITION GRIMLOCK VS. BRUTICUS Set (FALL OF CYBERTRON) - already had 1 version of Grimlock and 2 versions of Bruticus so didn't bother
5 - GENERATIONS TITAN CLASS METROPLEX - HK Ani-Con & Game Convention Edition - had the Generations version so didn't bother
6 - PRIME BEAST HUNTERS SHOCKWAVE’S LAB (w/ Predaking) - Tried to buy through the Hasbro website and they wouldn't deliver to Australia
7 - PRIME BEAST HUNTERS ULTIMATE OPTIMUS PRIME - One of the very few toys I didn't already have on the list and still didn't buy as thought he looked silly with that stargate looking thing on his back
8 - MASTERPIECE ACID STORM - ToysRUs Exclusive - deal just fell through with fellow Ozformer so spending that bit more and getting him through BBTS

Geez Hasbo, if you had given us a bunch of new figures instead of rehashes of already released toys or not different versions of movie characters you had already released that year think how much more money you could have made out of me
