I wouldn't get your hopes up that any of the 30 for 30 figures (or whatever they're called) will hit mass retail. The first two are SDCC exclusives, the next three (that we know of) are BBTS/online exclusives, and I'd expect that kind of trend to follow.

Sorry man but this is LAZY. You don't include a brand new toy in this line. MAYBE if you were doing the new Metroplex as Metrotitan. They need to do something like color the re-issue Fort Max in Grand Max colors and just throw the Pretender shell in the box.

Platinum Ultra Magnus is a brand new toy, as it's a retool of Weaponizer Optimus Prime. And he's numbered 3 of 30 for this line.

Well, what are you expecting from this line then? Aside from Platinum Ultra Magnus who actually has some major work done to him, and Shockwave's Lab, all so far are just minor shiny repaints of earlier releases. Makes it easier to fill all 30 spots in a year's time I guess.

Or maybe some Galvatron-love?
Still, this line isn't 'lazy. It's like a line of more elaborate versions of current toys.

You're right, calling a re-colored toy of a new Magnus a 30th year line that STILL doesn't have painted wheels for FIFTY bucks isn't lazy, it's VERY lazy.

Hasbro, please, hire a marketing director with some common sense.

That's not being lazy, that's being cost-efficient. Magnus is one example of a blob of paint not being where you'd like it. Considering the reworking of the figure as a whole... I'll forgive the paint there. Beyond that, Metroplex has some pretty big differences in the paint department and honestly- we've only seen the exterior of this Prime. No way of knowing how much paint is or isn't on it.
Dear god- It's Schrodinger's Optimus!

Metroplex has some pretty big differences in the paint department? You mean the chrome face and thighs? Yeah.. Those differences are HUGE.
I'm glad a lot of this crap is exclusive so far.. Because there's not much of it that I want. I do want metroplex for the extra gun and maybe G1 predaking.. But that's about it so far. And no matter what they do to "ultimate" prime, it's an easy pass for me. The thing is way too big, it doesn't fit into the collection, and the alt mode is simply unforgivable.

Given the size of Metroplex- Yes. Those are some big differences.
And why would it matter that these are exclusives anyway? If you don't want them, well... Don't buy 'em. I don't see the problem with these toy being available somewhere specific of at the supermarket on your streetcorner if you're ignoring them anyway.

Because they are LAME for a 30th line.

It's not nearly as bad as you're making it out to be and you're coming off a bit of a cry baby over it.
They are collectors items. From 1 right on through to 30. Collectors items can be hard to get for even seasoned collectors. If money is an issue and you want them so bad, do something to make more money. Save, budget, second job, whatever.
