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

I can check when I get home, but I don't recall it being an x of 30. Same with the Kreon set.

you guys already wrote that Silver Knight Optimus and Grimlock target exclusive is number 29 right?

Are we still missing any and is there a place I can see the full list?

SDCC Dinobots are not a numbered release.

My bet is on a couple of the other platinum sets. I just picked up the WM AOE exclusives today and none of those are numbered.

The Target Exclusive Platinum Edition Silver Knight Prime using the FE mold is also labeled as 28 of 30 - same as the smash and change version. Phone is being stubborn on uploading the picture anywhere.

What a well thought out list! :BANG_HEAD:

Is it? If that's the case, can anyone confirm the number of the Smash & Change one? It's easy to mistake the two molds...

Not really hard to differentiate the two, but anyway, here's the picture I took while at the store:

When they announced this promotion/line/whatever, who knew it was going to be a meaningless tag slapped onto random figures? What a letdown. It's hardly been "thrilling."

It's weird how random it is. If they just did it with all SDCC exclusives for the past two years (6), Platinum Editions released and not yet released (14), Masterpieces (5), and Windblade, they'd only have 4 more slots to fill randomly like they have.

News Credits: 12 · by **GuyIncognito** » Wed Sep 10, 2014 12:49 pm

I honestly think they just put a blindfold on someone and had them throw darts at a list of upcoming products. There's no other way to explain how some of these boring and lame figures got named to the "Thrilling 30" list.

News Credits: 252 · by **ScottyP** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 2:17 pm

Well, the list is done. Apparently the Protectobot multipacks that are random repaints of other things are 16 and 17 of 30.

How Thrilling.

The thrilling 30 exclusives were like bad sex; tiring, unfulfilling, shallow, and waxy.

News Credits: 23 · by **JelZe GoldRabbit** » Sat Sep 27, 2014 3:26 pm

So the completed list is:

1 of 30: SDCC 2013 Metroplex
2 of 30: SDCC 2013 Shockwave's Laboratory
3 of 30: Platinum Edition Ultra Magnus
4 of 30: Platinum Edition Grimlock vs. Decepticon Bruticus
5 of 30: ACGHK 2013 Metroplex
6 of 30: CybCon 2013 Shockwave's Laboratory
7 of 30: CybCon 2013 Beast Hunter Optimus Prime
8 of 30: MP-01 Masterpiece Acid Storm
9 of 30: MP-02 Masterpiece Soundwave
10 of 30: Platinum Edition Predaking
11 of 30: Construct-Bots Predaking
12 of 30: Platinum Edition Optimus Prime (Year of the Horse)
13 of 30: Platinum Edition Starscream (Year of the Horse)
14 of 30: Age of Extinction First Edition Optimus Prime
15 of 30: MP-05 Masterpiece Sunstorm
16 of 30: Transformers (2014) Protectobot Evac Squad
17 of 30: Transformers (2014) Protectobot Emergency Response
18 of 30: Age of Extinction Slog (G1 Deco)
19 of 30: SDCC 2014 Knights of Unicron set
20 of 30: Platinum Edition Breakout Battle
21 of 30: Generations Jetfire
22 of 30: Age of Extinction Evolution 2-pack Bumblebee
23 of 30: Age of Extinction Evolution 2-pack Optimus Prime
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: Age of Extinction Smash & Change Silver Knight Optimus Prime
28 of 30: Platinum Edition Silver Knight Optimus Prime
29 of 30: Age of Extinction Silver Knight Optimus Prime & Grimlock
30 of 30: Generations Wingblade

The list started out so promising, then it lost steam resulting in a crash and burn. And that's an understatement. It's like they only planned the first few and then said "whatever"...

Honestly it'd been better if the more specialized deluxes were part of the 30 of 30. Not necessarily exclusives, but like armada, beast wars, IDW/G1 specials you know.

With December and the end of 2014 approaching, the official Transformers Facebook page has posted a new gallery of not-so-new images, listing the whole Thrilling 30 line. What did you think of Hasbro's shot at celebrating 30 years of the Cybertronian franchise? Check out the mirrored images below, from Generations Metroplex to MP Soundwave and Prowl, via Beast Hunters Shockwave, Age of Extinction Dinobots and Generations Windblade, then look at your shelves, browse through the Seibertron.com galleries and let us know your thoughts in the Energon Pub!

Most of those are anything but thrilling. Nice on a few of them but MEH to most. They released so many figures that were better than some of these.

News Credits: 23 · by **JelZe GoldRabbit** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 7:46 am

Wait, what? I thought #14 was AoE First Edition Optimus Prime!

News Credits: 207 · by **Sabrblade** » Mon Dec 01, 2014 8:02 am

I only bought five of those (and want three others).

They also messed up with the Target exclusive smash and change white knight optimus prime (what a mouthful) which is supposed to also be on that list at number 28.

While I don't find the list that bad (the evolution packs make a buch of sense for a thrilling 30 line, along with MPs and Jetfire), I really dislike how a lot of it are con exclusive sets that are quite hard to find and I really dislike how 2 of them repeat themselves. Really, we need 2 Metroplexes to collect all 30??!!!!

ALso, as of now, I have 7 and hopefully will get MP Prowl as well. I dont need more than that. My top 3 are the Optimus 2 pack, the Target exclusive 2 pack and Jetfire.
