    Good on you little man, work hard play hard. I worked my ass off when I was 13-14 and bought a kona stinky primo (expensive freeride/DH bike). Don't forget to save a little cash on the side though!

    Don't forget they are charging less than TW so that opens up the market some. I'd imagine there are more people willing to spend $65 for Zeta's Jazz than there were people willing to spend $90 for TW's. Since the designs and molds are already paid for, the overhead is considerably less so it's easy money. I just hope it doesn't mean that Zeta ran into cash flow problems after the first 2 aerielbots. I'd hate to see a price increase for the other 2 limbs.

    I'd forgotten the Superion proto. I kind of assumed that Silverbolt was a render though. Either way, it's a long time to go with no news. I get that they were focusing on the Combaticons. And I suppose it's unfair of me to complain but I had absolutely no interest in their Combaticons (they look awful in bot mode) so I was very disappointed that the Aerialbots were the ones that had to wait for the Combaticons and not the other way around.

    They are most likely going to be $65 like how Racket had a price increase

    Honestly, looking at the bots, the surface details make the figures make me satisfied enough as “gee wun” other than brawl from Zeta. It has the perfect amount of surface detail.

    There's absolutely nothing to suggest Zeta is misleading anyone. Simply put they're finishing up their Bruticus, which one could argue they should have done before the Aerialbots started coming out. If the next Aerialbot (presumably Silverbolt) isn't up for pre-order by or shortly after when their Bruticus comes out and/or they jump their prices then there'll be reason to complain. Not now.

    The Bruticus is actually surprisingly well priced, in not my opinion, given how much extra stuff it's coming with. So long as the prices are in line with their Combaticons I'm not complaining.

    I would guess Onslaught will come out, then there will be a solid two to three weeks of nothing and then there will be a colored test shot of Silverbolt and pre orders

    Also you have to remember back before any of these guys were released, in the og TW prototype picture, only the two Aerialbots released now were present, along with three Bruticus bots
    My guess is Zeta had those five pretty much completely done when they first started, so they released them, then decided to finish Bruticus first as its 2 more bots vs 3 more bots

    After a lot of to'ing and fro'ing since Feb this year I finally got my replacement right torso Fly Fire part direct from Zeta. Never have I been so excited about a delivery!

    The part looks to be straight from the manufacturing line as the connection point looks like a pin would be inserted. But, the torso piece doesn't look like it's connected by a pin. Maybe I have to do some trimming.

    Anyway, this is a shout out to Zeta and getting replacement parts from the manufacturer. Unlike Toyworld

    I didn't want to call it out as it's a KO from eBay. We have Nerf guns at work and my colleague bought a whole lot for cheap. Better than the original!

    Oh, it's a nerf dart. I was wondering why he had it leaning on a tampon. Then I was wondering why the tampon was blue. Then I was trying to figure out where the string was. I feel better now.

    They're awesome. And the odds of Superion being epic are very high.

    Welcome to the club :)
