    Default New EB Games/Zing Transformers Listings

    EB Games and Zing have listed 3 more Transformers listings today, seemingly in the last few hours.

    Firstly is Masterpiece 52 Starscream 2.0 for $499,
    30th June 2021 release date, $50 deposit.

    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.

    Finally, we have Generation Selects Abominus for $369 with a $50 deposit. March 30th 2021 release date as well. Only listed on Zing's website at the moment for some reason.

    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 have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    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.......
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    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.

    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.

    It was $200 -give or take- plus post last I checked it out
    Throw the minimum deposit down and you're laughing

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