    Got this guy preordered and paid for at ShowZ, and I was hyped as hell until... Until I remembered China has suspended shipping to the UK.

    Now I just want to burn things. :mad:

    He not out till August as far as I can tell, showz haven't even sent out the pay the balance message about him yet, hopefully by August things will be different. Didn't know they had stopped shipping to UK, I'm waiting on cang toys figure(got tracking says left China today) and ft iceman(not shipped yet) hope they aren't held up too long, I'm getting fidgity without new figures to play with.

    If some retailers do send out the head/wings separately, I'm looking forward to the Unicron bat mode pictures from people who get it.

    And that's why I chose Showz. Never want to be that guy in a year or two who buys the body but then can't find the head because it was sold separately and is dried up. Hate these tactics.

    Chill out. They are definitely packaging the main body separately from the head/wings. That's how 1studio and/or Armortoys are boxing it up.

    From the proposed release dates, it seems that Armortoys will ship their parts first.

    It's not clear whether retailers will have had to buy one body per one head, or whether they could order different amounts of each.

    Some retailers are definitely only selling the body with the head, not without. Whether they can then sell the head separately will rely on the answer to the previous paragraph.

    For the two-together sales, it's not obvious whether retailers will send them together or simply when they arrive. I suspect together because the space needed for the head in minimal. It'd be different if it was the other way around!

    Some retailers appear to be selling the two products separately, though it's not clear from the listings.

    My advice would be to find a listing that meets your price requirements, then if it doesn't explicitly say the head comes with it, check the site for the head or contact the retailer to check. If it does, great, if not, reevaluate.

    Non taken. Hopefully it did set out what the position is though. It still leaves a lot of questions unanswered, which is why I ended on asking the chosen retailer.

    If language is a problem when doing that, I can't really help other than suggesting the obvious - making it clear you know this is in two parts, and what those parts are, and checking what you are committing to purchase. At least then you've got a reply to rely on if there's a dispute later.

    But yeah, there's still ambiguity at best here...

    Agreed. I think it's interesting that Armortoys is a thing though. It highlights two issues for me:
    1. It allows retailers to make it clear that the 1studio figure comes "with Armortoys add on". Unless they've changed 1studio's name totally... or it allows them to screw you and say you never ordered the Armortoys kit, which is from a different company.
    2. If they haven't changed 1studio's name, then it means that Zeta are still shit scared of lawsuits. Having two one-off companies creating different parts, and shipping separately, is subterfuge at crazy levels. The fact we've seen them combined obviously spoils that cloak and dagger effect though.

    Either way, it could help or hinder, and the message is that if you want this as your Unicron then you gotta work for it a little bit!
