We already have the first 11, but two items are repeated: Metroplex and Shockwave's lab. Only the smaller figures and the conventions are different.

As of now, the list is:

01 - Metroplex SDCC Edition (purple and red mini figures)
02 - Shockwave's Labratory SDCC Edition (clear Predaking)
03 - Platinum Edition Ultra Magnus
04 - Platinum Edition Grimlock vs. Deception Bruticus
05 - Metroplex ACGCon Edition (gold mini figures)
06 - Shockwave's Labratory Asia Edition (gold Predaking)
07 - Beast Hunter Optimus Prime CybCon Edition
08 - MP-1 Masterpiece Acid Storm
09 - MP-2 Masterpiece Soundwave
10 - Platinum Edition Predaking
11 - Construct-Bots Predaking

And a partridge in a pear tree.

30 - Windblade

Windblade is the winner of the Create-A-Bot survey, a female jet with a Japanese motif.

Doh I knew that

Pretty sure they said Windblade would be released in general retail as a normal Generations figure.

That wouldn't necessarily mean that Wingblade can't be in the special 30 line-up.

Windblade is number 30 in the thrilling thirty figures as stated in this press release. The specific paragraph is quoted below.

In addition to the first items being revealed, Hasbro announced the result of the first “Fan Built Bot Poll.” Hosted earlier in the year, the poll asked fans around the world to vote on a series of TRANSFORMERS character elements such as faction, personality, vehicle mode and more. Hasbro combined all of the winning elements and unveiled the newest character to be incorporated into TRANSFORMERS lore and will be made into an action figure, part of the “Thrilling 30” line of numbered figures. The character is WINDBLADE, a female AUTOBOT jet who will appear in the “Thrilling 30” numbered line. The WINDBLADE character will make an appearance in future IDW comics as a lasting part of TRANSFORMERS lore with the opportunity to appear in additional brand expressions in the future. The WINDBLADE character action figure will be #30 in the “Thrilling 30” line and becomes available in late 2014.

Well, at least one of them is getting a normal retail release a opposed to being a damn exclusive. That's a good thing.

So with YOTH OP being 12 of 30 do we currently have a revised list of any kind...anyone...anyone...Bueller...Bueller??

11 of 30: Construct-Bots Predaking
12 of 30: Year of the Horse Optimus Prime
13 of 30: Year of the Horse Starscream
14 of 30: Age of Extinction First Edition Optimus Prime (unmentioned on packaging)

If a Construct-Bot and that atrocious FE OP are on the list, then clearly the "Thrilling 30" designation is purely arbitrary. I think they took a list of upcoming figures and threw 30 darts at it to choose the "Thrilling 30". There's nothing else that unites these figures, and nothing special about most of them.

If you guys haven't listed her yet, Generations Windblade is the thirtieth entry.

Hopefully as we progress through the year, we'll see some special stuff.

I think "Thrilling 30" is more of a price point at this... point.
Talking is hard

Have we ever gotten the rest of the numbers for this, or did Hasbro just abandon it?

All of the "Evolution 2-Pack" exclusives for Age of Extinction at Toys 'R' Us are part of the Thrilling 30 count, so that's about 5 more numbers down. Grimlock's set is 24/30. Strafe's is 26/30.

13 of 30: Platinum Edition Starscream (Year of the Horse)
14 of 30: Age of Extinction First Edition Optimus Prime

16 of 30: ???
17 of 30: ???
18 of 30: Age of Extinction Slog (G1 Deco)
19 of 30: ???
20 of 30: Platinum Edition Breakout Battle
21 of 30: Generations Jetfire
22 of 30: Age of Extinction Evolution 2-pack Bumblebee

24 of 30: Age of Extinction Evolution 2-pack Grimlock
25 of 30: Age of Extinction Evolution 2-pack Dinobot Slug
26 of 30: Age of Extinction Evolution 2-pack Strafe
27 of 30: MP-04 Masterpiece Prowl
28 of 30: Smash & Change Silver Knight Optimus Prime
29 of 30: Silver Knight Optimus Prime & Grimlock
30 of 30: Wingblade

And yes, some entries are complete jokes. Smash & Change Prime? Come on!

29 of 30 is the Target exclusive Silver Knight Optimus Prime (DOTM deluxe) and Grimlock (FoC Voyager, G1 repaint) set. Masterpiece Grimlock is not on the list, though.

Thanks dear, added. And that leaves 2. Some numbers are shown on the original listings, like in the case of First Edition Optimus Prime.

*EDIT* Looking at the list again, I'm predicting this:

22 of 30: Evolution 2-pack Optimus Prime
23 of 30: Evolution 2-pack Bumblebee
27 of 30: Titan Guardian Silver Knight Optimus Prime

Well. I was pretty stoked to try and collect all 30 but now...

I managed to get Platinum Predaking so thats something.

Checked TFWiki again, and now the entries and the order they're in are just getting... random:

15 of 30: MP-05 Sunstorm
20 of 30: Platinum Edition Breakout Battle
21 of 30: Generations Jetfire

Now there are 7 slots left.

And the release of Masterpiece Prowl gave us another entry:



#27. Pretty weird considering Sunstorm is #15 yet it sports a high ID number. Also, according to TFWiki the G1 repaint of AoE Slog is #18. 3 more to go.

It is **** like this that broke my will to stay a completionist.

Could anybody check their "Knights of Unicron" set? I just saw it could be another entry, #19, but I'd like some confirmation.

You're a peach, mel. What about the other SDCC set, the G1 deco Dinobots one? Anyone know?
