Next is WFC Siege Voyager Soundblaster for $99. Slated for a 30th March 2021 release. $10 deposit required. Curiously, the pictures show a much cleaner chest than the 35th Anniversary one and sporting a Mercenary faction symbol, again different from 35th's Decepticon one.

Looks like it's the Takara SG-EX Soundblaster. Explains the price.

Edit: Wait, so they can get this from Japan but not Centurion Drone.....:(

Abominus's price is surprisingly low compared to the Dinobots. Still way too high compared to buying from Asia.

I?m tempted to still buy Abominus at that price. If I preorder it at RK, I?m paying credit card interest for six months without having a toy. If I buy it at Zing, its only a small deposit.......

If you're paying interest on your credit card to buy toys then, uh, you're doing it wrong. But agree that the Abominus price is a bit more reasonable than usual. At least compared to the Dinobots set.

Abominus's price is surprisingly low compared to the Dinobots. Still way too high compared to buying from Asia.

And even worse, considering he was available at regular retail for a long time - even at the worst pricing possible, the whole set was around $200. Not really seeing that much extra value in the (slightly) better hands/feet. The colours aren't really an improvement so much as an aesthetic choice...

Hell, you can still pick up the whole original set online for a bit over $200.

The EB listing for Starscream has 36 images added... which is a lot more than usual.

I'm doing that as soon as I get paid late Monday night, early Tuesday morning.
