    Has anyone asked zeta about possible upgrade kits for loose hip ratchets?

    Mine are kind a loose. Not the end of the world but would prefer if it were solid...

    I tried messaging them on facebook to get accurate height measurement in combined mode but they never replied.

    I haven't got mine yet but it sounds like they might be fixable. I'll take a look once mine arrives (should be next week, I think).

    They only reply to retailers when it comes to QC issues, they wont reply if you email them about QC,if they do they will just let you know to request the issue with the retailer.

    Its up in the air if there will be a fix or a upgrade kit for Flyfire. I hope somebody makes that kit though.

    Hopefully the rest of the members wont suffer that issue like Flyfire and be as solid as Airstrike.

    got my first two today, no real issues apart from air strikes front landing gear rattling around in the box, but that clipped on well enough. and fly-fires rear right tail coming off when moving but pretty minor issues, everything seems to be good

    What is the deal guys but why hasn't any site got the preorder pages up for Zeta's next Aerialbot release.I notice on Chosen Primes event calender that Silver Arrow is scheduled for release a day after my birthday of March 27th,and even tho they have a placeholder page for him he is not for sale.Is Zeta known for not having PO for new stuff or is this just a one-off type of thing.

    I sure wish they would hurry up and let people preorder this,I don't want to wait and he sell out in minutes that day and have to wait weeks or even months for a second release.Does anyone know whats going on?

    Because it's not ready yet. TCP's calendar is rarely accurate for third-party releases. We're expecting Onslaught yet since we've seen him in colour but we haven't seen Silverbolt in colour.

    Pre-orders for Zeta stuff usually go up only a month or two before release from my recollection, though that's for the Combaticons, not the Aerialbots. I wouldn't worry though. There's still more than enough stock of the existing figures out there. You won't miss out.

    I'm not sure zeta has been around long enough to be known for anything but I'd agree with @TCJJ. I am disappointed that it's taking so long to get to the next bot though. There's also the fact that we saw the test shots of airstrike and FlyFire months before they actually released so the fact that we haven't seen the next test shot is extremely disappointing to me.

    My guess is, and I'm being hopeful, but Silver Arrow is ready to go…
    But so many people made a fuss about Toon Accurate heads, those are being made now, and the first three heads will be released (along with feet hands and such) WITH Silver Arrow, with the other two Toon Heads added to the last two releases.
    Which is AWESOME and SUCKS at that same time!

    They may be releasing the last two combaticons first. It's a guessing game. If only they would respond to questions. They answer questions on weibo in Chinese but after Google translate butchers it you can't really understand it

    We've seen Silverbolt/Silver Arrow as a resin prototype, so there's that. I hope they cover up the screws on the wrists though, either by using pins or, preferably, screw caps.

    It would be nice if they were more consistent but at the same time, at least they haven't shown off a whole ton of figures which are yet to come out (unlike XTB/KFC and FansToys).

    It definitely seems that way since Swindle is meant to be out at the end of this month and we've seen tons of coloured Onslaught photos by now, so I'm still assuming Silverbolt will be out in May and Onslaught in April.

    To be honest, I actually don't mind them being spread out a little bit. Not too much, but I'm not keen on getting them all at once. I remember when I got Feral Rex, I had the first one separate and he was fun, but then the other four (I never got their sixth one) two at a time, and that was a lot less fun. I like having some time to actually play with each figure separately before I ultimately end up with a complete set that I'll then combine.

    I don't play with my figures I transform them very excitedly

    I kind of agree but the Aerialbots are all so similar looking that it doesn't feel like I got a new toy when Flyfire showed up. It was like I got airstrike again but with a different alt mode. Silverbolt is different enough that he'll be fun though, so looking forward to that.

    That's playing :D . That's how I play with them anyway. But you know what? Maybe one of these days I'll pull them all out of the case and just full on play with them. Do the voices and everything. Sometimes it's good to forget that I'm an adult. But, you know, gently. Cuz they're expensive.

    For me having both Airstrike and Flyfire in hand they both have subtle differences enough to make them unique,so I don't know why Snaku would consider them the same figure but for me it doesn't matter if they are the same or not as I can enjoy them despite their similarities.

    Also with what others have said about the rest of Zeta Combaticons being released soon does that mean Silverbolt,Slingshot,and Skydive have been pushed back for later release?,I really hope not since I don't want to wait till Late Spring or Early Summer 2019 for all these to come out,so many 3P Figures and Companies have done the same thing due to mold changes or delays to work on something else.I am tired of waiting for these companies to release their stuff on time.

    I do both, dammit!

    Since they never had release dates, we can't really say they're delayed. Just be patient. This is normal. Zeta's releases have still been faster than anything Keith and FansToys seem to do.

    It’s not playing unless you march them around without posing them and they hug each other to death.

    I dunno, I count transforming them as playing with them.

    You can say playing but it’s not really playing you know?

    I just want them to release as soon as possible either Onslaught or Silverbolt, to know how the entire set is going to cost and how the combined mode works.
