    I actually ordered some black rubber treads that I think might've fit, but that was before I bailed on the set. Never got a chance to test them out. :/

    Now showing as out of stock again. I messaged them yesterday via Facebook and their reply was: -
    "No, it was an stock display error caused by a cancellation. It's fixed now".

    Yeah they mean Zeta but didn't specifically say Zeta in their email to me.....

    I know what you mean always missing stuff from Royal Mail. I found using a DPD app solved a few problems for me to re-arrange delivery or get it put in a safe place (they even take a photo of the package when its in the safe place to prove its there).

    Well its a day after there stock was meant to have arrived and I've not see/heard a thing. Messaged TFS asking for an update so will see what I get back.

    So I see that TFS finally has the lat fillers and the foot stabilizers for Burden. The odd thing is that BBTS still doesn't have either one of those items. Just rather odd so I think I am going to focus on TFS going forward. Even though they are a tad more expense they seem to be a better source for orders that have been on hold forever from toyworld. Oh well. It happens.

    Hi, can anyone explain how come on some pictures I see of other people's Constructor, sometimes you can't see the shoulders connectors, maybe more so on Unearth's side, and on others, you can't see any connector.

    (Regardless of the chest shield hiding of the connectors).

    Sometimes the arm robots seem very close to the main body, almost tight, and in mine there is like 2 centimeters of gray connectors showing, a bit skeletal like...


    Cheers ! This is bugging me

    Yellow is mine, connectors are showing, green is not mine, connectors are hidden in the body ?

    Hard to describe but the shoulder is double jointed. You can extend or retract the shoulders depending on the look/pose your going for.

    The way you have the shoulders/connectors set up, yours should be close to being able to scratch his shins. Fold the connectors into the arm bots in a 90 degree angle. It will also raise the shoulders at the same time and bring the arms closer to the body. If you look at your picture versus the green version, your shoulders sit lower.

    Thank you very much, comparing the pictures I saw that there is a big difference in the height of the shoulders between the pictures so I started suspecting maybe the connectors can fold, thanks !!! I will try to fold them....

    Thanks !! I'll try it as soon as I get home.
    Very thankful that's the solution and that it's not some figure issue. Can't wait to try... Thanks a lot for the answer !!!

    So I have been working on my V2 and transforming them for combined mode. I will say I find it hard to understand why TW did not make instructions for the individual robots to be transformed from bot construction mode. They just coped the instructions from the V1 versions. I saved my money and I have both versions now. For those who only bought V2, it is probably a bit of a challenge using the instructions backwards, but even at that the instructions themselves suck. I am grateful for people like Emgo who have step-by-step videos on how to transform them.
    I almost didn't get V2 but I got sick it waiting for the upgrades which are now available in the US. hahaha. Jokes on me. Oh well I can display in both modes and not have to pull them apart. I had more QC issues with V2 versus V1. I'll post some pics of both of them when done hopefully today. I also want to use some model master paints to customize the black areas and make them more dull and use red for the eyes. Gonna be fun!!!

    Here is one quality control issue that I wanted to post in case it has not already been mentioned. Luckily, I have both V1 and V2 and I was able to solve a minor issue I had with Unearth aka scavenger. I have attached a picture of that black and grey attachment piece that is used for dev mode. If you look closely at the photos V1 is ar the top and the other is V2 below. Notice the dark grey base of the attachment is actually flipped which makes it impossible to peg the gray part into correctly. All you have to do is unscrew the part and flip it. I do recommend getting yourself a set of jeweler screw drivers. They are actually very handy for very small screws. I started to undo the screw with a small screw driver and I began to strip it. So I pulled out one of these and presto. It did the job flawlessly. The set comes only with flat head screw drivers, but I think they are better than Phillips heads. FYI. I got them ages ago from a hobby shop. You might find them at a local hobby shop or online. IMG_0049.JPG IMG_0050.JPG
