And a reminder too what the 2014 line 30th anniversary line should have/could have been.
The pattern is more what was released during the reissue line or recently enough that the mold still exists. Trypticon aside, all those listed figures were re-issued in the last decade and Trypticon was used to make Gigastorm for Beast Wars II, without most of his accessories, so he should be intact as well. Platinum figures are low cost(no retools or figures whose mold need maintence), high priced figures released to drain money out of a nostalgic and monied Chinese fanbase(and anyone else whose cashed up and interested).
