    No that I mind but I don't get this thrilling 30 thing.
    Seems WAY too random.
    Exclusives from other countries? I have a job. I can't go to every convention on the planet.

    The only thing that could make that Tailgate better is if it never Transformed all the way.

    Well Thrilling 30 is a bit disappointing, counting Asian exclusive equivalents of SDCC exclusives as separate items in the 30.

    The taglines for some of these figures tell me that Hasbro is very well aware of what the fans are talking about. :lol  "Bumblebee? Shocking news!"

    she's an autobot.

    Edit: Windblade has Red and Black Samurai motiff, wields a sword and is a female seeker. I like it, Autobots need more jets, interesting mix of Slipstream and Drift, if they're calling her a seeker, wonder if this is another ex Decepticon.

    Edit 2: Aaaannnd she's deluxe class... I need my planes bigger than my cars Hasbro!

    Ugh...why they even made convention exclusives part of the 30 is beyond me...and even worse that they doubled up between SDCC and Asia...

    Welp, looks like I won't be collecting most of those.

    A smidge generic, but I'm happy for the female fans who wanted this.

    Of course there's going to be dude fans crying about this for months on end so it balances out.
