The 30 Generations toys for the 30 year anniversary - what do we know?

just saw this.... article
http://www.seibertron.com/transforme...release/27930/

so they numbering metroplex twice and soundwave lab twice...? wtf !!in the first 11

That just sad..... i don't think the marketing department even really care about this line or just plain lazy and then it was even approved to go ahead ...

I just think the only thing the marketing department cares about is to somehow push the first 10 to be as close to $1K USD as possible (they're doing pretty well, it almost $900USD).

Now that really blows... for buying the regular Metroplex, if I want the full "30" I have to buy two more Metroplex toys (from SDCC and from the Asia Con).
Not only that, a regular version of the Shockwave's Lab, AND the SDCC version are in the "30". Could they not think of anything better in there - out of the various toys being released in 2013 AROUND the world (not just America), these were the only 11 they could think of?
That just made it so much easier to not bother collecting the set, if I already have the moulds or colour versions already. (or can get cheaper retail versions)

It would have been really cool if they used the opportunity to make Metrotitan in its G1 colours or any other of the funky colours in MTMTE's Cyclonus' flashback.

Perhaps Hasbro has the Metrotitan idea down the pipeline as a mainstream release rather than an exclusive, as this would more likely reap better rewards than convention exclusives.

A possible 2nd chance to grab an MP-10? - That'll make A LOT of people happy I think.

It's an SDCC exclusive.

So is the "out of 30" thing applying to everything now, or just Platinum?

I just received my Shockwave lab, and its marked with a sticker saying 02/30
