I personally find Leader Jetfire to be the champion of that list as he is the bigggest mass release homage released this year and is an awesome example of how interesting the various roots for these toys are.
But like someone said, the thrilling 30 line in the generations series made up for this with G1, Beast Wars and Armada coming together (with Jetfire also championing the line).
No they're not. Mass market releases are available at every store, not one store.william-james88 wrote:along with the retailer exclusives which are still mass market releases,

So would a british person consider AOE deluxe figures as retailer exclusive instead of mass market release ?

Well, who said everything on this list had to be those kinds of exclusives? All that was ever said (or at least implied) about the figures on this list is that they would be "special". Certainly that would apply for some, if not most, of the listed ones that weren't convention/online exclusives, no?william-james88 wrote:All I meant to say was that the retailer exclusives were not things you had to attend cons for or were only available online.

It would be impressive to see all of them together. (Not just individual, but a large group photo.)

Sabrblade wrote:The 30 special toys were just something that the fandom put more importance on than Hasbro did, making them seem far more significant than the lame gimmick they really were, which tends to be the case for most lame gimmicks Hasbro does.

Right on.I can't tell you how many years I wanted to find a reasonably priced Hot Rod, Springer, and Jazz, that weren't broken or worn from age, and how much I was bummed out, for missing out on what I once considered Hasbro's only car-Arcee. Generations solved all of this and then some...

Its too bad its no longer the case for Hot Rod and Jazz, the classics (with decent deco) are now expensive again.
