Hi all,

after reading this quote:


The all-in-one questions topic was a concept started long ago for the purpose of making new members feel more comfortable asking questions at a time when our community was very small and mostly made up of fans who prefered to talk down to those new to the fandom.

It might be time to close it up and allow each new question to be its own topic. It will also help prevent questions from being missed in such a huge topic.

I decided to start another topic, asking the same question I asked in the above mentioned thread, just incase coz I wasn't sure if it was still widely being read/used :)

So: Just wondering if anyone knew where I could find a Palisades Shockwave Statue and a Wheeljack one also?

I'd search, but as a newbie, I don't think I have access to that function yet, nor so I have access to a lot of the other threads and sections...

Thanks in advance!

I've seen them around from time to time in a couple of collectibles shops in Melbourne but not for quite a while.

Where and what online stores have you searched already for these?

If you give us some idea of retailers you've tried we can eliminate them and the search can be narrowed down for you.

Empire toys in Perth may have them but they aren't cheap unless they have a sale on.:eek:

Does High St Cards in Penrith still have the Shockwave statue? I know that they had one about 9 months/a year ago.

It's the store in the arcade across from where Spotlight used to be (near the Panther Merchandise store).

Thanks for the replies guys...

Basically, eBay is the only place i've been looking. Shockwave seems to be the harder one to find...I've seen a few on overseas websites, but i'm not sure how reliable they are, one being decepticon-matrix.com. Not much luck with any of the local stores, however...

Thanks for the wheeljack link, I think i'll go for that one...

1AZRAEL1: If you do happen to go past that store anytime soon, if u could take a look and post up, that would be awesome, i'd highly appreciate that!

If you find it there, let us know, I will still check that other store out anyway, see what they have.

I walked past the store a few weeks ago, I know they had the conehead head/shoulder busts (where it looks like they are sticking out their chests), a couple of small head only busts, like Rodimus, and a couple of ROTF bobbleheads at least. Did not get a chance to go inside and have a look (usually the place is shut when I am in Penrith on the weekends).

Did not realise the OP was from Melbourne, shipping may be quite untasty.

I was looking to collect Palisades staues as well but i joined the chase too late. I seen the Shockwave statue yesterday..........in my display cabinet:p Sorry dude, not selling him. Good luck though. I'll keep an eye out as i'm always searching for Shockwave items.
