Zing Pop Culture Stores now stocking Transformers Generations toys

As people have recently been seeing this week, the Zing Pop Culture stores (owned by EB Games), are now stocking Transformers Generations toys from Hasbro Australia, like the major retailers.

There are currently 60 stores around Australia, adding to the options for most Australian fans, and the word is, the franchise is looking to expand significantly in the next year, giving us even more competitive options, as their prices are actually comparative to the major retailers.

So far the first wave of Deluxe, Voyager and Leader classes have been found in Zing stores, at the following prices...
Deluxe - $30
Voyager -$48
Leader - $88

They may not be the cheapest prices in Australia, but considering that they probably don't yet have the buying power (bulk discounts) of the major retailers, they are still within the major retailer price-range, and a worthwhile backup option if you are looking for a particular loose end, without having to pay scalper prices or postage.

The toys haven't shown up on their online store, and I'm not sure if they will, but they also already have a number of non-toy items available for order.

What are your thoughts on this new franchise taking on Transformers collector toys, and will you be checking out their stores more often when out toy hunting, to see what they currently have in-stock?
